Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a series of substituted N-heteroaryl spirolactam bipyrrolidines of formula (I). Wherein R 1 , R 2 , Q 1 , Q 2 , Q 3 , Q 4 , X, m, n, p and s are as described herein. More specifically, the compounds of this invention are modulators of H3 receptors and are, therefore, useful as pharmaceutical agents, especially in the treatment and/or prevention of a variety of diseases modulated by H3 receptors including diseases associated with the central nervous system. Additionally, this disclosure also relates to methods of preparation of substituted N-heteroaryl spirolactam bipyrrolidines of formula (I) and intermediates therefor.
