Certain tetrahydro-azepinoquinolines of structural formula (I) are agonists of the mammalian 5-HT2c receptor, and, in particular, are selective agonists of the mammalian 5-HT2c receptor. The compounds of the present invention are therefore useful for the treatment, control, or prevention of duseases, conditions, or disorders responsive to stimulation of the 5-HT2c receptor, such as obesity, obesity-related condtions, and certain CNS-related disorders, including schizophrenia and depression. They are also useful as aids for tobacco smoking cessation. Formula (I).
结构式(I)的某些四氢-氮杂环
喹啉化合物是哺乳动物5-HT2c受体的激动剂,特别是哺乳动物5-HT2c受体的选择性激动剂。因此,本发明的化合物对于治疗、控制或预防对5-HT2c受体刺激有反应的疾病、病况或疾病是有用的,例如肥胖、与肥胖相关的病况以及包括精神分裂症和抑郁症在内的某些中枢神经系统相关疾病。它们还可用作辅助戒烟工具。结构式(I)。
