Abstract: The invention concerns substituted isoxazolines derivatives according to Formula (I): wherein X=CH?2#191, N—R7, S or O, R1, R2 and R3 are certain specific substituents, Pir is an optionally substituted piperidyl or piperazyl radical and R3 represents an optionally substituted aromatic homocyclic or heterocyclic ring system including a partially or completely hydrogenated hydrocarbon chain of maximum 6 atoms long with which the ring system is attached to the Pir radical and which may contain one or more heteroatoms selected from the group of O, N and S; a process for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions comprising them and their use as a medicine, in particular for the treatment of depression and/of anxiety and disorders of body weight. The compounds according to the invention have surprisingly been shown to have a serotonine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor activity in combination with additional ?2-adrenoceptor antagonist activity and show a strong anti-depressant activity without being sedative.
