A class of pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives, substituted at the 3-position by a substituted piperazinylmethyl moiety, are antagonists of dopamine receptor subtypes within the brain, having a selective affinity for the dopamine D 4 receptor subtype over other dopamine receptor subtypes, and are accordingly of benefit in the treatment and/or prevention of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia while manifesting fewer side-effects than those associated with classical neuroleptic drugs.
