Succinimide derivatives. II. Synthesis and antipsychotic activity of N- [4-[4-(1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl]1,2-cis- cyclohexanedicarboximide (SM-9018) and related compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1248/cpb.43.2139

Cyclic imides bearing ω-(4-benzisothiazol-3-yl-1-piperazinyl)alkyl moieties were synthesized and tested for antipsychotic activity. The in vitro binding affinities of these compounds were examined for dopamine 2 (D₂) and serotonin 2 (5-HT₂) receptor sites. Structure-activity relationships within these series are discussed. One of these compounds, N-[4-[4-(1,2- benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl]-1,2-cis-cyclohexanedicarboximide (SM-9018), was found to be more potent and more selective in vivo than tiospirone in its antipsychotic activity. SM-9018 (17) is currently undergoing clinical evaluation as a selective antipsychotic agent.
