Abstract: Compounds of the Formula (I) 1

Abstract: Compounds of the Formula (I) wherein R2, Y, X and n are as defined in the specification which compounds are useful in the treatment of disorders associated with serotonergic neuron-related diseases.

Abstract: This invention involves novel neuroprotectant agents of the formula: ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 are, independently, hydrogen, cyano, nitro, halo or perhaloalkyl, with the proviso that one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 is other than hydrogen; R.sub.2 is alkyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The compounds ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is hydroxy, alkoxy of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, amino, alkylamino of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, dialkylamino where each alkyl substituent contains 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or alkanoylamino of 2 to 6 carbon atoms;R.sub.2 is 3-trifluoromethylphenyl, 3-halophenyl, 2-pyrimidinyl, halopyrimidin-2-yl, 2-pyrazinyl or halopyrazin-2-yl; andn is one of the integers 1 or 2;or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, are selective serotonergic agents useful in the treatment of depression and/or anxiety, as well as related sexual dysfunctions and appetite disorders.

Abstract: Substituted imides of the following formula are antipsychotic, anxiolytic agents with very little extrapyramidal side effects: ##STR1## in which X is --O--, --S--, --SO--, --SO.sub.2 --, --CR.sub.3 R.sub.4 --where R.sub.3 and R.sub.4, independently, are hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or, taken together with the carbon atom to which they are attached, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 form a cycloalkyl group of 3 to 5 carbon atoms; Y is alkylene of 1 to 3 carbon atoms or alkenylene of 2 to 3 carbon atoms; n is one of the integers 0 to 1; m is one of the integers 2, 3, 4 or 5; R is phenyl, halophenyl, trifluoromethylphenyl, alkoxyphenyl in which the alkoxy substituent contains 1 to 3 carbon atoms, 2-pyrimidinyl, halopyrimidin-2-yl, 2-pyrazinyl, halopyrazin-2-yl, 2-pyridinyl, cyanopyridin-2-yl, halopyridin-2-yl, quinolyl, or haloquinolyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
