Title:
THIOPHENE COMPOUNDS AND MEDICINAL USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/031679
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Thiophene compounds represented by general formula (1), optical isomers thereof, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or hydrates of the same, wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification; and medicinal compositions containing as the active ingredient the compounds of general formula (1), optical isomers thereof, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or hydrates of the same together with pharmaceutically acceptable additives. Because of exerting selective and potent blocking effects on D�4? receptors rather than D�2? receptors, these compounds are useful as antipsychotic agents efficacious not only against positive symptoms typified by hallucination and delusion characteristic to the acute stage of schizophrenia but also negative symptoms such as emotional torpidity, abulia and autism. Moreover, they are applicable as useful antipsychotic agents which are excellent in oral absorbability, bioavailability and intracerebral transmigration properties while showing relieved side effects caused by the administration of the existing antipsychotic agents with a D�2? receptor antagonism, such as extrapyramidal symptoms and disendocriasis. These compounds are also usable as remedies for alcohol dependence and drug abuse.
