2
)
n
—B are provided, wherein A is THIQ or a substituted derivative thereof and B is an aryl, cycloalkylaryl, or cycloalkyl group, wherein A and B are linked to each other by an alkyl or substituted alkyl chain. The compounds are useful as selective ligands (agonists or antagonists) of central nervous system receptors, and in particular of the seratonin receptors. The compounds or their salts can be formulated into pharmaceutical in need thereof by any route of administration suitable for a desired treatment protocol and especially for the treatment of psychiatric disorders.
The invention relates to novel compounds of the general formula (A-I), with Het-2 being an optionally substituted bicyclic heteroaryl of the formula (AA) pharmaceutical compositions comprising them and the use thereof as medicaments, in particular for the use as ferroportin inhibitors, more particularly for the use in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of diseases caused by a lack of hepcidin or iron metabolism disorders, such as particularly iron overload states such as in particular thalassemia and hemochromatosis.
