Treatment of psychosis using 1-cycloalkylpiperidines

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel cycloalkylpiperidine compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and methods of using these compounds to treat physiological or drug induced psychosis and as antidyskinetic agents.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
U.S. Pat. No. 4,225,608 (Uhl et al.) discloses phenoxyalkylamines of the formula:
AR--O--R
wherein:
Ar is phenyl optionally substituted with 1 or 2 substituents selected from the group:
F, Cl, Br, alkyl or alkoxy each of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, cycloalkoxy of 3 to 6 carbon atoms, CF.sub.3, CN, alkylthio of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, SCF.sub.3, OH or alkanoyloxy of 1 to 10 carbon atoms;
R is (1-R.sup.1 -2-pyrrolidyl)--CH.sub.2 --CHR.sup.2 --, (1-R.sup.1 -2-piperidyl)-CH.sub.2 --CHR.sup.2 -- or 1-R.sup.1 -3-Z-4-hexahydroazepinyl;
R.sup.1 is H, alkyl or alkenyl each of up to 4 carbon atoms, cyclopropylmethyl or benzyl;
R.sup.2 is H, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl; and
Z is alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms with the proviso that Ar is p-fluorophenyl only if R is not 2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)-ethyl. The phenoxyalkylamine compounds have antidepressant activity.
Japanese patent 48-40779 (Dainippon) describes the process for preparing compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R.sup.1 is H, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy or trihalomethyl; and
R.sup.2 is alkyl, alkenyl, hydroxyalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, dimethylaminoalkyl, aralkyl, arylalkenyl, arylalkoxy, aryloxyalkyl, 2-halophenothiazinyl(10)-propyl, 10, 11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo (b,f)azepin-5-yl-propyl or 3-halo-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo (b,f)azepinyl propyl.
These compounds are described as being useful as pharmaceuticals since they exhibit psychotropic effects, however, no utility is actually documented.
Nagai et al. (Dainippon) describe psychotropic compounds of the formula: ##STR2## wherein: R.sup.1 is H, Cl or F; and
R.sup.2 is alkyl, alkenyl, benzyl, phenethyl, hydroxyethyl, cyclopropylmethyl or substituted phenylalkyl.
See: Chemical Pharmaceutical Bulletin 25(8) 1911-1922 (1979).
The 3-isomers described in Japanese Patent 48-40779 and in the Chemical Pharmaceutical Bulletin, cited above, do not show the sigma receptor selectivity demonstrated by the compounds of the present invention. It is this sigma receptor selectivity of the compounds of the present invention which makes them so advantageous over the compounds in the prior art. Traditionally, antipsychotic agents have been potent dopamine receptor antagonists. For example, phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine and most butyrophenones such as haloperidol are potent dopamine receptor antagonists. These dopamine receptor antagonists are associated with a high incidence of side effects, particularly Parkinson-like motor effects or extra-pyramidal side-effects (EPS), and dyskinesias including tardive dyskinesias at high doses. Many of these side effects are not reversible even after the dopamine receptor antagonist agent is discontinued.
The present invention is related to antipsychotic agents which are selective sigma receptor antagonists rather than the traditional dopamine receptor blockers known in the art, and therefore the compounds of the present invention have low potential for the typical movement disorder side-effects associated with the dopamine antagonist antipsychotic agents while they maintain the ability to antagonize aggressive behavior and antagonize hallucinogenic-induced behavior.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Compounds of Formula (I) may be prepared according to Scheme I. In Scheme I, a compound of Formula (II) [where X is O, S, NR.sup.6 or CH.sub.2 (when m=1 and CR.sup.1 R.sup.2 .dbd.CO) or a single bond (when m=1)] is treated with a base in an inert solvent then reacted with a compound of Formula (III) to afford a compound of Formula (IV). Bases which may be used for this reaction include, but are not limited to, alkali metal hydrides, preferably sodium hydride, alkali metal carbonates, preferably potassium carbonate, alkali metal dialkylamides, preferably lithium di-isopropylamide, alkali metal bis(trialkylsilyl) amides, preferably sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, alkyl alkali metal compounds (such as butyl lithium), alkali metal alkoxides (such as sodium ethoxide), alkyl alkaline earth metal halides (such as methyl magnesium bromide), trialkylamines (such as triethylamine or di-isopropylethylamine), polycyclic di-amines (such as 1,4 diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octane or 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0)undecene) or quaternary ammonium salts (such as Triton B). The choice of inert solvent must be compatible with the choice of base (see J. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry (New York:J. Wiley and Sons, 1985) pp. 255-446; H. O. House, Modern Synthetic Reactions (New York:W. A. Benjamin Inc., 1972, pp. 546-553)). Solvents include lower alkyl alcohols of 1 to 6 carbons, dialkyl ethers of 4 to 10 carbons, cyclic ethers of 4 to 10 carbons, preferably tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, dialkylformamides, preferably N,N-dimethylformamide, dialkylacetamides, preferably N,N-dimethylacetamide, cyclic amides, preferably N-methylpyrrolidinone, hydrocarbons of 5 to 10 carbons or aromatic hydrocarbons to 6 to 10 carbons. The leaving group Y in Formula (III) may be halide, arylsulfonyloxy, preferably p-toluenesulfonyloxy, alkylsulfonyloxy (such as methanesulfonyloxy), haloalkylsulfonyloxy, preferably trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy or acyloxy, preferably acetoxy. Reaction temperatures range from about -78.degree. to 200.degree. C., preferably about 50.degree.-100.degree. C. Compounds of Formula (IV) may be treated with reducing agents in inert solvents to afford compounds of Formula (I). Such reducing agents include but are not limited to, alkali metal aluminum hydrides, preferably lithium aluminum hydride, alkali metal borohydrides, preferably lithium borohydride, alkali metal trialkoxyaluminum hydrides (such as lithium tri-t-butoxyaluminum hydride), dialkylaluminum hydrides (such as di-isobutylaluminum hydride), borane, dialkylboranes (such as di-isoamyl borane), alkali metal trialkylboron hydrides (such as lithium triethylboron hydride). Inert solvents include lower alkyl alcohols of 1 to 6 carbons, ethereal solvents (such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran), aromatic or non-aromatic hydrocarbons of 6 to 10 carbons. Reaction temperatures for the reduction range from about -78.degree. to 200.degree. C., preferably about 50.degree. to 120.degree. C. The choice of reducing agent and solvent is known to those skilled in the art as taught in the above cited March reference (pp. 1093-1110). ##STR7##
In Scheme II, a compound of Formula (II) (X=O, S, NR.sup.6) is reacted with a compound of Formula (V) in the presence of a triarylphosphine, (Ar"3P), preferably triphenylphosphine and an azodicarboxylate diester (RO.sub.2 CN.dbd.NCO.sub.2 R) wherein R is lower alkyl, and preferably diethyl azodicarboxylate in an inert solvent, preferably tetrahydrofuran or benzene. Reaction temperatures range from about 50.degree. to 80.degree. C. The choices of triaryl phosphine, solvent or azodicarboxylate ester are known to those skilled in the art as described by O. Mitsunobu (Synthesis, 1 [1981]). ##STR8##
In Scheme III a pyridine derivative of Formula (VII) is converted to its metallo derivative (VII*) by treatment with a metallating agent. For the case where n=1 or Y=H, such metallating agents are bases, which include but are not limited to, alkali metal dialkylamides, preferably lithium di-isopropylamide, alkali metal bis(trialkylsilyl)amides, preferably lithium or sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amides, alkali metal alkoxides, alkali metal hydrides, alkyl alkaline earth metal halides (such as methyl magnesium bromide). For the cases where n is not equal to 1 or Y is halogen, preferably Cl or Br, metallating agents include alkali metals, such as lithium, alkaline earth metals, such as magnesium, or alkyl lithiums, such as n-butyl lithium. Metallating agents include combinations of one of the above reagents and an inorganic salt such as alkaline earth metal halides or transition metal halides, preferably CuBr, ZnCl.sub.2 or CeCl.sub.3. The metallo derivative of (VII), i.e. (VII*) may be formed in an inert solvent such as lower alkyl alcohols of 1 to 6 carbons, ethereal solvents, such as tetrahydrofuran or 1,2-dimethoxyethane, or aromatic or non-aromatic hydrocarbons of 6 to 10 carbon atoms. Temperatures for the metallation range from about -80.degree. C. to 200.degree. C., preferably about -78.degree. to 70.degree. C. once the metallo derivative of (VII), i.e. (VII*) is formed, it is reacted in the same solvent with a compound of Formula (VI) (where R is alkoxyl of 1 to 6 carbons or halogen) to afford a compound of Formula (VIII). Reaction temperatures range from about -78.degree. to 70.degree. C., preferably about 0.degree. to 70.degree. C. A compound of Formula (VIII) is then converted to a compound of Formula (X) upon treatment with an alkylating agent of Formula (IX) (Z=halogen, alkylsulfonyloxy, or haloalkylsulfonyloxy). Such alkylation can be conducted with or without an inert solvent. When an inert solvent is used, such solvent may be a lower alkyl alcohol of 1 to 6 carbons, an alkanenitrile, preferably acetonitrile, a halocarbon of 1 to 6 carbons, a dialkylformamide of 2 to 6 carbons, a dialkylacetamide of 3 to 7 carbons or an aromatic or non-aromatic hydrocarbon of 6 to 10 carbons. The intermediate (X) may be isolated upon removal of volatiles, chromatography or crystallization or (X) may be carried on to the next step in Scheme III if it is hygroscopic. Treatment of a compound of Formula (X) with a reducing agent yields a compound of Formula (I) (where X=CHOH or C=O [depending on the reducing agent]). Reducing agents include molecular hydrogen and a noble metal catalyst, preferably palladium on carbon or platinum IV oxide, alkali metal aluminum hydrides, preferably lithium aluminum hydride, alkali metal trialkoxyaluminum hydrides, dialkylaluminum hydrides, alkali metal borohydrides, preferably sodium borohydride, dialkylboron hydrides, di-imide and its precursors, alkali metal cyanoborohydrides, preferably sodium cyanoborohydride, zinc amalgam or zinc metal. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that some of the above reagents by themselves will only partially reduce the pyridine ring to give tetrahydropyridines among other products (See generally: the above cited March reference, pp. 1093-1110), for example structure (X'): ##STR9## In these cases, combinations of the above reagents either in tandem or sequentially must be used. Inert solvents include, but are not limited to, lower alkyl alcohols, ethereal solvent such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, aromatic or non-aromatic hydrocarbons of 6 to 10 carbons. ##STR10##
According to Scheme IV, an ester of Formula (XI) (R is alkyl of 1 to 6 carbons or aralkyl of 7 to 10 carbons) is treated with an alkylating agent of Formula (IX) in the presence of a base and an inert solvent. The bases and inert solvents that may be used are the same as those defined for the first reaction step of Scheme I. The resulting ester of Formula (XII) is then converted to an aldehyde of Formula (XIII) either directly using a reducing agent or indirectly using a reducing agent then an oxidizing agent in sequence. In the latter course, the intermediate alcohol (XIV) may or may not be isolated depending on its stability using standard techniques known to those skilled in the art. Reducing agents and the inert solvents for the reduction include those defined in Schemes I and III. Oxidizing agents for converting an alcohol of Formula (XIV) to an aldehyde of Formula (XIII) include transition metal oxides, such as CrO.sub.3 or MnO.sub.2, pyridine-chromium complexes, such as CrO.sub.3.C.sub.5 H.sub.5 N, pyridinium dichromate or pyridinium chlorochromate, an oxalylchloride-dimethylsulfoxide-triethylamine reagent system, commonly called the Swern oxidation system (D. Swern et al., J. Organic. Chem., 43, 2480-2482 (1978)) or a dimethyl sulfoxide-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide system (See: H. O. House, Modern Synthetic Reactions (New York:W. A. Benjamin Inc., 1972) pp. 416-421). Such oxidations, when necessary, employ an inert solvent such as those employed for the reduction or halocarbons of 1 to 6 carbons, preferably dichloromethane or 1,2-dichloroethane. A compound of Formula (XIII) is then converted to a compound of Formula (XVI) [Formula (I) where X=CHOH] by reaction with a metallo derivative of a compound of Formula (XV). Such a metallo derivative is prepared by treatment with a base (X=H) or other metallating agents (X=halogen). Metallating agents, and the inert solvents for such metallations, include those defined for the first step of Scheme III. A compound of Formula (XVI) [Formula (I) where X=CHOH] is oxidized to a compound of Formula (XVII) (Formula (I) where X=CO] using an oxidizing agent and inert solvent, both of which are defined the same as for the second step of Scheme IV. ##STR11##
Alternatively, some of the compounds of this invention may be prepared using the procedures shown in Scheme V. A compound of Formula (XVIII) is converted to its metallo derivative with either a base (if Y=H, halogen) or other metallating agents (if Y=halogen) in an inert solvent. The choices of metallating agent and inert solvent are defined as for the first step of Scheme III. Such a metallo derivative is reacted with an aldehyde of Formula (XIX) in the same inert solvent to afford a compound of Formula (XVI) [Formula (I) where X=CHOH]. Reaction temperatures range from about -100.degree. to 200.degree. C. preferably about -78.degree. to 80.degree. C. ##STR12##
Some of the compounds of this invention may be prepared according to Scheme VI. A compound of Formula (XVII) [Formula (I) where X=CO] is reacted with an amine of Formula HNR.sup.10 R.sup.11 in the presence of a reducing agent in an inert solvent to give a compound of Formula (XX) [Formula (I) where X=CHNR.sup.10 R.sup.11 ]. The choices of reducing agent and inert solvent are defined the same as for these in the last step of Scheme III. R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 independently may be H or alkyl of 1 to 6 carbons or taken together are an alkylene chain of 2 to 6 carbons. When R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 are both H, an ammonium salt is used (preferably ammonium acetate) according to the prior art (see pp. 45-100 of House, Modern Synthetic Reaction, cited supra). ##STR13##
According to Scheme VII, a compound of Formula (XVI) [Formula I where X=CHOH] is treated with a sulfonylating agent, preferably methanesulfonyl chloride, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride or trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride, in the presence of a base, such as a trialkylamine, preferably triethylamine, an alkali metal hydride, preferably sodium hydride, an aromatic amine, preferably pyridine, or an alkali metal carbonate or alkoxide. Such a sulfonylation is performed in an inert solvent such as a halocarbon of 1 to 6 carbons, preferably dichloromethane, ethereal solvents, such as diethylether or tetrahydrofuran, aromatic or non-aromatic hydrocarbons of 6 to 10 carbons, or alkanenitriles, preferably acetonitrile. A compound of Formula (XXI) [preferably where X is O.sub.2 SCH.sub.3, O.sub.2 SC.sub.6 H.sub.4 -CH.sub.3 -p or O.sub.2 SCF.sub.3 ] is formed from such a sulfonylation and then is reacted with a nucleophilic reagent in an inert solvent to afford a compound of Formula (XXII) [Formula (I) where X is CHR.sup.7 ]. Such nucleophilic reagents include alkali metal alkoxides, alkali metal aluminum hydrides, dialkyl aluminum hydrides, dialkylboranes, alkyl alkaline earth halides, preferably alkyl magnesium halides, dialkyl lithium cuprates, amines of the formula HNR.sup.10 R.sup.11, wherein R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 are as defined above, alkali metal cyanides or alkali metal alkylsulfides. Inert solvents include lower alkyl alcohols, alkanenitrile, preferably acetonitrile, ethereal solvents, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, aromatic or non-aromatic hydrocarbons of 6 to 10 carbon atoms.
According to Scheme VIII, a compound of Formula (XVII) [Formula (I) where X=CO] is reacted with a nucleophilic reagent in an inert solvent to give a compound of Formula (XXIII) [Formula (I) where X=CR.sup.6 R.sup.7 where R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are as defined in Formula (I)]. The choice of solvent is defined the same as for those in Scheme VII. The nucleophilic reagents include alkali metal hydrides, dialkyl aluminum hydrides, trialkyl aluminum compounds, aryl or alkyl alkaline earth halides (preferably aryl or alkyl magnesium halides), aryl or alkyl lithiums or dialkyllithium cuprates. ##STR14##
According to Scheme IX an acid derivative of Formula (XXIV) [R is halogen, OH or lower alkoxy and Ar and R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are as defined in Formula (i)] is reacted with an aromatic compound in the presence of a Lewis acid in an inert solvent to afford a compound of Formula (XXV). Lewis acids include aluminum halides, alkylsulfonic acids, preferably methanesulfonic acid, polyphosphoric acid, or acetic acid. Inert solvents include carbon disulfide or aromatic hydrocarbons of 6 to 10 carbons bearing electron-withdrawing substituents, such as nitrobenzene. Compounds of Formula (XXV) are then converted to pyridinium salts (XXVI) with alkylating agents (IX). These compounds of Formula (XXVI) are then treated with reducing agents in an inert solvent to afford compounds of Formula (XXVII) [Formula (I), wherein m is O and X is CO]. The choices of alkylating agent (IX), reducing agent, inert solvents and reaction temperatures are the same as those defined in Scheme III. ##STR15##
Alternatively, according to Scheme X, a compound of Formula (XXVIII) is reacted with an aromatic compound in the presence of a Lewis acid and an inert solvent to provide a compound of Formula (XXIX). The choices of Lewis acid and inert solvents are defined the same as those in Scheme IX. Reaction temperatures range from about 0.degree. to 150.degree. C. Compounds of Formula (XXIX) may be treated with reducing agents in inert solvents to give compounds of Formula (XXX) [Formula (I) wherein m is O and X is CHOH]. The choices of reducing agent, solvent and reaction temperature are defined the same as those for the second step of Scheme I. Compounds of Formula (XXX) may be oxidized to compounds of Formula (XXXI) [Formula (I) wherein m is O and X=CO]. The choices of oxidizing agents, solvents and reaction temperatures are defined the same as those for the oxidation of compounds of Formula (XIV) to compounds of Formula (XIII) in Scheme (IV). ##STR16##

A compound of formula ArZ is reacted with a compound of Formula (XXXII) (X is O, S or NR.sup.6) in the presence of a base and an inert solvent to yield a compound of Formula (XXXIII) [Formula (I) wherein m is O]. Ar is preferably a phenyl ring substituted with an electron withdrawing group or a heteroaryl ring. Z is halogen, preferably fluorine or chlorine. The choices for base and solvent are as defined in the first step of Scheme I. ##STR17##

C. and preferably 100.degree.-150.degree. C., to yield a compound of Formula XXXV [Formula I, wherein m is 0 and X is C=O]. The inert solvent may be the same as those defined in the first step of Scheme I. Compounds of formula MY may be generated in situ from a compound of formula HY and abase chosen from the bases defined for the first step of Scheme I. ##STR18##

A. 1-(Cyclopropylcarbonyl)-4-hydroxymethylpiperidine
A solution of 1-(cyclopropylcarbonyl)-4-carboethoxy piperidine (35 g, 156 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (350 mi) was stirred at ambient temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. A solution of lithium borohydride in tetrahydrofuran (2 M, 78 ML, 156 mmol) was added dropwise. Trimethyl borate (1.77 mL, 15.7 mmol) was added, then the reduction mixture was stirred for about 48 hours. Water was added dropwise with vigorous stirring until the vigorous gas evolution ceased.

(2) Alternatively, this compound can be made as follows: Lithium aluminum hydride (8.55 g, 0.225 mole) was added portionwise over 1 hour to a 0.degree. C. solution of the ester from Step A above (47.6 g, 0.225 mole) in dry Et.sub.2 O (500 mL). After 1.5 hours, the reaction was carefully quenched with H.sub.2 O (100 mL), then filtered through Celite(o and rinsed with Et.sub.2 O. The filtrate was diluted to 1 L total volume with Et.sub.2 O, and the phases were separated. The organic phase was extracted with brine, dried (MgSO.sub.4), and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was distilled, bp 108.degree.-127.degree.

Diethyl azodicarboxylate (9.58 g, 8.7 mL, 55 mmol) was added dropwise via syringe. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux and stirred for about 72 hour. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (200 mL), and the organic solution was washed twice with water (100 mL) then twice with a 2N sodium hydroxide solution (100 mL). Drying over magnesium sulfate, filtration and removal of solvent in vacuo gave a solid. Column chromatography using a gradient elution system (chloroform:methanol::95:5 to 4:1) afforded the product 740 mg, 8% yield, mp 34.degree.-36.degree. C.) which gave .sup.1 H-NMR and MS data identical to that for the product from Example 1D.

UTILITIES SECTION
The compounds of this invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts possess psychotropic properties, particularly antipsychotic activity of good duration with selective sigma receptor antagonist activities while lacking the typical movement disorder side-effects of standard dopamine receptor antagonist antipsychotic agents. These compounds may also be useful as antidotes for certain psychotomimetic agents such as phencyclidine (PCP), and as antidyskinetic agents.
IN VITRO
Sigma Receptor Binding Assay
Male Hartley guinea pigs (250-300 g, Charles River) were sacrificed by decapitation. Brain membranes were prepared by the method of Tam (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80: 6703-6707, 1983). Whole brains were homogenized (20 seconds) in 10 vol (wt/vol) of ice-cold 0.34 M sucrose with a Brinkmann Polytron (setting 8). The homogenate was centrifuged at 920.times.g for 10 minutes. The supernatant was centrifuged at 47,000.times.g for 20 minutes. The resulting membrane pellet was resuspended in 10 vol (original wt/vol) of 50 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4) and incubated at 37.degree. C. for 45 minutes to degrade and dissociate bound endogenous ligands. The membranes were then centrifuged at 47,000.times.g for 20 minutes and resuspended in 50 mM Tris HCl (50 mL per brain).
0.5 mL aliquots of the membrane preparation were incubated with unlabeled drugs, 1 nM (+)-[.sup.3 H] SKF 10,047 in 50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.4, in a final volume of 1 mL. Nonspecific binding was measured in the presence of 10 .mu.M (+)-SKF 10,047. The apparent dissociation constant (Kd) for (+)-[.sup.3 H]SKF 10,047 is 50 nM. After 45 minutes of incubation at room temperature, samples were filtered rapidly through Whatman GF/C glass filters under negative pressure, and washed 3 times with ice-cold Tris buffer (5 mL).
IC.sub.50 s were calculated from log-logit plots. Apparent K.sub.i s were calculated from the equation, K.sub.i =IC.sub.50 /[1+(L/K.sub.d)] (4), where L is the concentration of radioligand and K.sub.d is its dissociation constant. Data are shown in Table I.
DOPAMINE RECEPTOR BINDING
Membranes were prepared from guinea pig striatum by the method described for sigma receptor binding. The membranes were then resuspended in 50 mM Tris HCl (9 mL per brain).
0.5 mL aliquots of the membrane preparation were incubated with unlabeled drugs, and 0.15 nM [.sup.3 H]spiperone in a final volume of 1 mL containing 50 mm Tris HCl, 120 MM NaCl and 1 mM MgCl.sub.2 (pH 7.7). Nonspecific binding was measured in the presence of 100 nM (+)-butaclamol. After 15 minutes of incubation at 37.degree. C., samples were filtered rapidly through Whatman GF/C glass filters under negative pressure, and washed three times with ice-cold binding buffer (5 mL).
IC.sub.50 s were calculated from log-logit plots. Apparent K.sub.i s were calculated from the equation K.sub.i =IC.sub.50 [1+(L/K.sub.d)](4), where L is the concentration of radioligand and K.sub.d is its dissociation constant. Data are shown in Table I.
The data in Table I indicate that haloperidol, a typical antipsychotic drug, has potent binding affinity for both the sigma and dopamine receptors. This binding profile of haloperidol reflects the therapeutic activity as well as the motor side effects caused by antagonism of the dopamine receptors. In contrast, the examples of this invention shown in Table I indicate potent and selective binding affinity for sigma receptors without binding to the dopamine receptors. Therefore these compounds are not expected to produce the extrapyramidal symptoms that are typical of that produced by haloperidol and other typical antipsychotics that are dopamine receptor antagonists.
IN VIVO
Isolation-Induced Aggression in Mice
This is a modification of the method of Yen et al. (Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. 123: 179-185, 1959) and Jannsen et al. (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 129: 471-475, 1960). Male Balb/c mice (Charles River) were used. After 2 weeks of isolation in plastic cages (11.5.times.5.75.times.6 in) the mice were selected for aggression by placing a normal group-housed mouse in the cage with the isolate for a maximum of 3 minutes. Isolated mice failing to consistently attack an intruder were eliminated from the colony.
Drug testing was carried out by treating the isolated mice with test drugs or standards. Fifteen minutes after dosing with test drugs by the oral route, one isolated mouse was removed from its home cage and placed in the home cage of another isolate. Scoring was a yes or no response for each pair. A maximum of 3 minutes was allowed for an attack and the pair was separated immediately upon an attack. Selection of home cage and intruder mice was randomized for each test. Mice were treated and tested twice a week with at least a 2 day washout period between treatments.
As shown in Table II, haloperidol and Examples 1, 228, 409, 493 and 494 all have potent activities in inhibiting the isolation-induced aggressive behavior indicating psychotropic activities.
PCP-INDUCED TURNING BEHAVIOR IN RATS
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (CD/CR, Charles River), weighing 190-290 g, were used for surgery. In order to spare nonadrenergic neurons, rats were injected with 25 mg/kg imipramine i.p. 30 minutes before surgery. The rats were anesthetized with a 1:1.2 ratio mixture of Xylazine:Ketamine given 0.1 mL/100 g body weight i.m. A Ringers-Wydaze (100:0.01) solution was given to prevent dehydration. Dopamine was depleted in the right striatum by injecting the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the substantia nigra of the right cerebral hemisphere. Five mg of 6-OHDA was dissolved in 5 mL of a 0.04% ascorbic acid solution which had been deoxygenated with nitrogen. Five .mu.L of the 6-OHDA solution was injected into the substantia nigra through a 26 gauge needle over a five minute period. Stereotaxic injection coordinates were -2.5 mm posterior to bregma, -2.1 mm right of the midsagittal suture, and -8.6 mm below the skull surface with the incisor bar set at +5.0 mm. Following surgery they were given 10 days to recover while housed four per cage (45.0 L.times.20.0 H.times.26.0 W) with ALPHA-dri bedding and ad lib access to Pro-Lab rodent chow and deionized water. Following recovery, the wood clips were removed, the rats were individually housed in suspended cages, and they were placed on a restricted diet so that their weight did not exceed 375 g. At all times they were housed in the animal care facility under a 12--12 hour light/dark cycle (light on at 6:00 h, light off at 18:00 h).
Rotation rate and direction were determined with Coulbourn Instruments Rotometry Monitors. Clockwise and counter clockwise rotations were recorded at 30 and 60 minute intervals. The rats were examined for correct lesion location by testing for rotational activity induced by s.c. injections of 3.0 mg/kg D-amphetamine SO.sub.4, and 2.0 mg/kg PCP HCl, respectively. These drugs were administered in the following sequence: Amphetamine was given 30 second before testing. Seven days later, the rats were injected with PCP 30 seconds before testing. Only those rats with an ipsilateral rotation rate of 2.5 turns per minute or higher were used in subsequent tests.
Methocel.RTM. or test drugs were administered by the oral route (p.o.) 20 minutes before testing. Phencyclidine (1.5 mg/kg) was given s.c. immediately before testing.
The data were analyzed with an analysis of variance statistical test and individual comparisons of each dose of test drug to control were made with Dunnett's multiple range test. The ED50 was calculated with a Litchfield and Wilcoxon test using percent of control values. Data are shown in Table III.
INDUCTION OF CATALEPSY
This is a modification of the method of Costall and Naylor (Psychopharmacologia (Berl.), 43, 69-74, 1975). Male CD rats (Charles River) weighing 250-300 g were treated with test drugs and standards by the oral route and tested for the presence of catalepsy 30 minute, 60 minute, and 90 minute after treatment. To test for catalepsy, each rat is placed with its front paws over a 10 cm high horizontal bar. The intensity of catalepsy is measured by the length of time it takes the animal to move both forelegs to the table. A time of 20 seconds is considered maximal catalepsy. Data is shown in Table III.
As shown in Table III, both haloperidol and Example 494 have potent activity in inhibiting the potent hallucinogen PCP-induced turning behavior in rats, supporting their use for treatment of psychosis. In the catalepsy test which is a model for extrapyramidal symptoms, haloperidol is very potent in producing catalepsy and this agrees well with the side-effect profile of haloperidol in the clinic. In contrast, Example 494 does not produce catalepsy and suggests very low potential for extrapyramidal symptoms and tardive dyskinesia.

DOSAGE FORMS
Daily dosage ranges from 1 mg to 2000 mg. Dosage forms (compositions) suitable for administration ordinarily will contain 0.5-95% by weight of the active ingredient based on the total weight of the composition.
The active ingredient can be administered orally in solid dosage forms, such as capsules, tablets, and powders, or in liquid dosage forms, such as elixirs, syrups, and suspensions; it can also be administered parenterally in sterile liquid dosage forms.
Gelatin capsules contain the active ingredient and powdered carriers, such as lactose, sucrose, mannitol, starch, cellulose derivatives, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and the like. Similar diluents can be used to make compressed tablets. Both tablets and capsules can be manufactured as sustained release products to provide for continuous release of medication over a period of hours. Compressed tablets can be sugar coated or film coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect the tablet from the atmosphere, or enteric-coated for selective disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration can contain coloring and flavoring to increase patient acceptance.
In general, water, a suitable oil, saline, aqueous dextrose (glucose), and related sugar solutions and glycols such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycols are suitable carriers for parenteral solutions. Solutions for parenteral administration preferably contain a water soluble salt of the active ingredient, suitable stabilizing agents, and if necessary, buffer substances. Antioxidizing agents such as sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either alone or combined, are suitable stabilizing agents. Also used are citric acid and its salts and sodium EDTA. In addition, parenteral solutions can contain preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride, methyl- or propyl-paraben, and chlorobutanol.
Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, A. Osol, a standard reference text in this field.
