The present invention relates to novel compounds of formula (IC) or a salt thereof: wherein: p is an integer ranging from 0 to 4; R<SUB>1 </SUB>is independently selected from a group consisting of: halogen, hydroxy, cyano, C<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkyl, haloC<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkyl, C<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkoxy, haloC<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkoxy, C<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkanoyl or SF<SUB>5</SUB>; or corresponds to a group R<SUB>5</SUB>; m<SUB>1</SUB>, m<SUB>2</SUB>, m<SUB>3</SUB>, and m<SUB>4 </SUB>are 0; m<SUB>5</SUB>, m<SUB>6 </SUB>and m<SUB>7 </SUB>are each independently 0, 1 or 2 wherein the sum of m<SUB>5</SUB>, m<SUB>6 </SUB>and m<SUB>7 </SUB>is 1 or 2; R<SUB>6 </SUB>is C<SUB>1-6</SUB>alkyl; R<SUB>7 </SUB>is halogen, C<SUB>1-6</SUB>alkyl or haloC<SUB>1-6</SUB>alkyl; R<SUB>2 </SUB>is hydrogen or C<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkyl; n is 2 or 3; X is S or -CH<SUB>2</SUB>-; R<SUB>3 </SUB>is C<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkyl; R<SUB>4 </SUB>is hydrogen, or a phenyl group, a heterocyclyl group, a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic group, or a 8- to 11-membered bicyclic group, any of which groups is optionally substituted by 1, 2, 3 or 4 substituents selected from the group consisting of: halogen, cyano, C<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkyl, haloC<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkyl, C<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkoxy and C<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkanoyl; R<SUB>5 </SUB>is isoxazolyl, -CH<SUB>2</SUB>-N-pyrrolyl, 1,1-dioxido-2-isothiazolidinyl, thienyl, thiazolyl, pyridyl or 2-pyrrolidinonyl, wherein each group is optionally substituted by one or two substituents selected from: halogen, cyano, C<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkyl, haloC<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkyl, C<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkoxy and C<SUB>1-4</SUB>alkanoyl; with the proviso that when m<SUB>5</SUB>=m<SUB>6</SUB> =1 , R<SUB>7 </SUB>is not chlorine; processes for their preparation, intermediates used in these processes, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy, as modulators of dopamine D<SUB>3 </SUB>receptors, e.g. to treat substance related disorders, as antipsychotic agents, premature ejaculation or cognition impairment.
