Benzisoxazole- and Benzisothiazole-3-carboxamides as Potential Atypical Antipsychotic Agents
摘要:
A series of benzisoxazole- and benzisothiazole-3-carboxamides has been prepared and tested for potential antipsychotic activity. In general, the compounds showed an affinity for dopamine D-2 and serotonin 5HT(2A) and 5HT(1A) receptors. Several Members of this series have demonstrated activity in animal models predictive of potential antipsychotic activity. In addition, compounds 18, 19, 22, 27, 28, 43, and 44 have also shown a potential for reduced EPS liability as suggested by the ratio of activity seen in mesolimbic-mediated vs nigrostriatal-mediated behavioral assays.
