The present invention, in one aspect, relates to a method of using piperazinyl-heterocyclic compounds of the formula I, as defined below, for enhancing cognition in a mammal, including a human, for example a mammal afflicted with psychosis, autism, dementia, or mental retardation, comprising administering an effective amount of a compound of formula I (for example, ziprasidone) to the mammal. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a method for reducing or ameliorating in a mammal, including a human, afflicted with a disorder or condition selected from autism, mental retardation, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and dementia, positive symptoms (e.g. excessive aggression, disinhibited sexual behavior, inappropriate sexual behavior, agitation, compulsive behavior such as head banging, lip bighting, self mutilation, or stereotypic behavior) associated with the aforementioned disorders or conditions, which method comprises administering an effective amount of a compound of formula I (for example, ziprasidone) to the mammal. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a method for treating pediatric bipolar disorder in a mammal, including a human, which method comprises administering an effective amount of a compound of formula I (for example, ziprasidone) to the mammal.
The compounds of compound of the formula I are defined as follows:
or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, wherein Ar, n, X, and Y are as defined.
本发明在某个方面涉及使用式I的哌嗪基-杂环化合物的方法,如下所定义,用于增强哺乳动物,包括人类,例如患有精神病、自闭症、痴呆或智力障碍的哺乳动物的认知能力,包括向哺乳动物投与式I的化合物的有效量(例如ziprasidone)。在另一个方面,本发明涉及一种用于减轻或改善患有自闭症、智力障碍、强迫症和痴呆等疾病或症状的哺乳动物,包括人类的阳性症状(例如过度攻击、失控的性行为、不当的性行为、激动、强迫性行为,如头撞击、咬唇、自我伤害或刻板行为),该方法包括向哺乳动物投与式I的化合物的有效量(例如ziprasidone)。在另一个方面,本发明涉及一种用于治疗哺乳动物,包括人类的小儿双相情感障碍的方法,该方法包括向哺乳动物投与式I的化合物的有效量(例如ziprasidone)。化合物I的定义如下:或其药学上可接受的酸加成盐,其中Ar、n、X和Y如上所定义。
