Abstract

The present invention relates to a class of compounds that serve as VMAT2 inhibitors, and relates in particular to a compound represented by formula (I), or a stereoisomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a preparation method therefor, as well as the use thereof in the preparation of a medicament for treating diseases related to VMAT2.

Claims (36)

2 . The compound, or the stereoisomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof according to claim 1 , wherein R 2 is selected from unsubstituted C 3-6 cycloalkyl-C 1-6 alkyl, or C 2-5 alkyl substituted with 2 or 3 R 3 ; wherein R 3 is F, Cl, or Br.

3 . The compound, or the stereoisomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof according to claim 1 , wherein R 1 is methyl;

R 2 is trifluoroethyl, trifluoropropyl, trifluorobutyl, trifluoropentyl, bisfluoroethyl or cyclopropanemethylene;

“- - - ” is a single bond, R is selected from OH or

 or “- - - ” is a double bond, and R is O.

4 . The compound, or the stereoisomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof according to claim 1 , wherein the compound is selected from:

5 . The compound according to claim 1 , wherein the compound is a p-toluenesulfonate salt of Formula (I) selected from the group consisting of:
