Claims (39)

1. A compound having the formula

wherein

R 1 is (C 1 -C 8 ) branched or unbranched alkyl or alkenyl; a substituted or unsubstituted aryl ring, branched or unbranched haloalkyl, or a substituted or unsubstituted (CH 2 ) p -aryl, where p is 1, 2, 3, or 4;

R 2 and R 3 taken together, form a substituted or unsubstituted piperidine or pyrrolidine ring;

X is S;

Y and Z are CH;

A is NH;

E is N;

G is OH; and

n is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and/or esters thereof.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 2 and R 3 , taken together, form a pyrrolidne ring.

3. The compound of claim 1 , R 2 and R 3 , taken together, form a piperidine ring.

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, and sec-butyl, CF 3 , CH 2 CF 3 , CH(CF 3 ) 2 , and CH 2 CF 3 .

5. The compound of claim 1 , wherein n is 1, 2 or 3.

6. The compound of claim 1 , wherein n is 3.

7. The compound of claim 1 , wherein

R 1 is a (C 1 -C 8 ) alkyl or alkenyl selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, allyl, n-butyl or isobutyl; and

n is 1, 2, 3, or 4.

8. The compound of claim 1 , wherein

R 1 is a (C 1 -C 8 ) alkyl or alkenyl selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, allyl, n-butyl or isobutyl; and

n is 3.

9. The compound of claim 1 , wherein

R 1 is isopropyl;

R 2 and R 3 taken together form a substituted or unsubstituted piperidine (N-containing six-membered cyclic ring); and

n is 3.

10. The compound of claim 1 , wherein said pharmaceutically acceptable salt is selected from the group consisting of hydrochloride, maleate, citrate, fumarate, succinate, tartarate, mesylate, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium salts.

11. The compound of claim 1 , wherein said compound is a 5-HT 4 receptor agonist.

12. The compound of claim 1 , wherein said compound is a h5-HT 4a receptor agonist.

13. The compound of claim 1 , wherein said compound is a h5-HT 4e receptor agonist.

14. A compound having the formula

wherein

R 1 is (C 1 -C 8 ) branched or unbranched alkyl; branched or unbranched haloalkyl, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl ring, or a substituted or unsubstituted (CH 2 ) p -aryl ring, where p is 1, 2, 3, or 4;

R 2 and R 3 , taken together, form a substituted or unsubstituted piperidine or pyrrolidine; and

n is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and/or esters thereof.

15. The compound of claim 14 , wherein

R 1 is a (C 1 -C 8 ) alkyl selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, n-butyl or isobutyl;

R 2 and R 3 taken together form a substituted or unsubstituted piperidine (N-containing six-membered cyclic ring); and

n is 3.

16. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
