Abstract: The invention concerns substituted tricyclic isoxazoline derivatives, more in particular tricyclic dihydrobenzopyranoisoxazoline, dihydroquinolinoisoxazoline, dihydronaphthalenoisoxazoline and dihydrobenzothiopyranoisoxazoline derivatives substituted on at least one of the C6- and C9-positions of the phenylpart of the tricyclic moiety with a selected radical, according to Formula (I) wherein X=CH2, N—R7, S or O, R1, R2, R14 and R15 are certain specific substituents, with the proviso that at least one of R14 and R15 is not hydrogen, Pir is preferably an optionally substituted piperidinyl or piperazinyl 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

Abstract: The present invention relates to heterocyclic compounds which are positive modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptor. The present invention also relates to the use of these compounds for preparing a pharmaceutical composition and to a method of treating a medical disorder, selected from neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with glutamate dysfunction.

Abstract: The invention concerns substituted amino isoxazoline derivatives, more in particular tricyclic dihydrobenzopyranoisoxazoline, dihydroquinolinoisozazoline, dihydronaphthalenoisoxazoline and dihydrobenzothiopyranoisoxazoline derivatives substituted on the phenylpart of the tricyclic moiety with primary, secondary and/or tertiary amino groups, according to Formula (I) wherein X=CH2, N—R7, S or O, R1, R2 and R3 are certain specific substituents, with the proviso that at least one of R1 and R2 is an amino radical of formula N—R10R11 wherein R10 and R11 are each a variety of radicals, 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, pharmaceuti

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.
