are as defined herein. The compounds of the invention are useful as non-competitive mGluR2 antagonists, or mGluR2 negative allosteric modulators (NAMs), and in methods of treating a patient (preferably a human) for diseases or disorders in which the mGluR2-NAM receptor is involved, such as Alzheimer's disease, cognitive impairment, schizophrenia and other mood disorders, pain disorders and sleep disorders, by administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, (optionally in combination with one or more additional active ingredients), and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and the use of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the invention in the treatment of such diseases.
本发明提供了公式(I)中环A、RQ、-L-、R1、n、R2和R3所定义的喹啉羧酰胺和喹啉羰基化合物。本发明的化合物可用作非竞争性mGluR2拮抗剂或mGluR2负向变构调节剂(NAMs),并且用于治疗患有mGluR2-NAM受体参与的疾病或障碍的患者(优选为人类),例如阿尔茨海默病、认知障碍、精神分裂症和其他情绪障碍、疼痛障碍和睡眠障碍,通过向患者投予本发明化合物或其药学上可接受的盐的治疗有效剂量。本发明还涉及包含本发明化合物或其药学上可接受的盐(可选与一种或多种其他活性成分组合)和药学上可接受的载体的制药组合物,以及本发明化合物和制药组合物在治疗此类疾病中的应用。
