Amides of acetic and propionic acids
The invention relates to novel amides of acetic and propionic acids, methods for production and use thereof for the production of medicaments for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases and for improving perception, concentration, learning ability and memory.
1. A compound of the formula (I)
in which
R 1 is 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl optionally substituted by (C 1 -C 6 )-alkyl,
A is methylene or ethylene,
R 2 is benzothiophenyl optionally substituted by radicals selected from the group of halogen, formyl, —CO—NR 4 R 5 , —CO—OR 6 , —NR 7 R 8 , —NR 9 —CO—R 10 , cyano, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, nitro, optionally hydroxyl-, amino-, —NH—CO—R 11 - or cyano-substituted (C 1 -C 6 )-alkyl, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkoxy, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkylthio, in which R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 , R 10 and R 11 are independently of one another hydrogen, (C 1 -C 6 )-alkyl, phenyl or benzyl, and
R 3 is hydrogen or (C 1 -C 6 )-alkyl,
or a salt thereof.
2. A compound as claimed in claim 1 , where
R 1 is 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl,
and R 2 and R 3 have the meaning indicated in claim 1 ,
or a salt thereof.
3. A compound as claimed in claim 1 , where
R 1 is 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl,
A is methylene,
R 2 is benzothiophenyl where the rings are optionally substituted by 1 to 3 radicals selected from the group of hydrogen, halogen, cyano, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, nitro, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkoxy, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkylthio, and
R 3 is hydrogen,
or a salt thereof.
4. A compound as claimed in claim 1 , where
R 1 is 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl,
A is methylene,
R 2 is benzothiophenyl, where the rings are optionally substituted by 1 to 2 radicals selected from the group of hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, nitro and
R 3 is hydrogen,
or a salt thereof.
5. A process for preparing a compound of formula (I) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that a compound of formula (II)
in which
R 1 and A have the meaning indicated in claim 1 , and
X is hydroxy or a suitable leaving group,
is reacted with a compound, of formula (III)
R 2 R 3 NH (III),
in which R 2 and R 3 have the meaning indicated in claim 1 ,
and the resulting compound is optionally converted with an appropriate acid or base into a salt thereof.
6. A pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound as claimed in claim 1 in combination with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable, essentially nontoxic carrier or excipient.
7. A method for producing a pharmaceutical composition for improving perception, concentration, learning and/or memory comprising the step of mixing at least one compound as claimed in claim 1 with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable, essentially nontoxic carrier or excipient.
8. A method for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of impairments of perception, concentration, learning and/or memory comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of at least one compound as claimed in claim 1 .
9. A method for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of impairments of perception, concentration, learning and/or memory comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition as claimed in claim 6 .
