摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to compounds of the general formula <CHEM> wherein R1 is hydrogen or loweralkyl; R2 is hydrogen, loweralkyl, hydroxyloweralkyl, acyloxyloweralkyl or loweralkoxyloweralkyl; R3 is hydrogen or loweralkyl; or R2 and R3 taken together form a cycloalkyl ring of 3 to 7 carbon atoms; R4 is hydrogen, loweralkyl, aryl or arylloweralkyl; R5 is hydrogen, loweralkyl, acyl, aryloxycarbonyl, loweralkoxycarbonyl, or arylloweralkoxycarbonyl; X is hydrogen, halogen, cyano, loweralkyl, aryl, arylloweralkyl, hydroxyloweralkyl, arylhydroxyloweralkyl, aminoloweralkyl, loweralkylaminoloweralkyl, diloweralkylaminoloweralkyl, arylsulfonyl, loweralkylsulfonyl; m and n are independently 0 to 5 with the proviso that the sum of m and n does not exceed 5; p is 0, 1 or 2; and wherein the dotted line between the pyrrole ring and the carbonyl group represents an optional bond; when said bond ist present, R6 is hydrogen, loweralkyl, hydroxy, loweralkoxy, amino, loweralkylamino, diloweralkylamino, or <CHEM> where Y is hydrogen, halogen, loweralkyl, loweralkoxy, hydroxy, trifluormethyl or nitro; or heteroaryl selected from <CHEM> where Z is hydrogen, halogen or loweralkyl, with the proviso that when m and n are each zero and when R2 and R3 are each hydrogen and R6 is phenyl or substituted phenyl and together with he carbonyl group is attached at the 2-position of the pyrrole ring, Y cannot be hydrogen, halogen, trifluoromethyl or nitro; or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, or where applicable an optical or geometrical isomer or racemic mixture thereof. The compounds of this invention are useful as glycine partial agonists and for the enhancement of learning and memory and in the treatment of memory dysfunction associated with neurodegenerative disorders and are thus indicated in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other senile demantias.</p> |
