The present invention relates to a compound represented by the formula (I’) wherein A is a benzene ring optionally having substituents, R1, R2a and R3 are each a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group optionally having substituents or a heterocyclic group optionally having substituents, R1 and R2a may form a ring via X, when R1 and R2a form a ring via X, R1 and R2a are each a bond or a divalent C1-5 acyclic hydrocarbon group optionally having substituents, and X is a bond, an oxygen atom, an optionally oxidized sulfur atom or an imino group optionally having a substituent, provided that R1, R2a and X are not bonds at the same time, or a salt thereof, and an agent for inhibiting kinase (phosphorylation enzyme), which contains this compound or a prodrug thereof. The compound of the present invention has an inhibitory activity against kinase such as a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and the like, and is useful as an agent for the prophylaxis or threatment of cancer and the like.

The long-term, irreversible, Parkinsonism-like side effects of haloperidol have been speculated to involve several mechanisms. More recently, it has been speculated that the metabolic transformation to MPP+-like species may contribute to the Parkinsonism-like side effects. Because BCPP+ and its reduced analogue have been shown to possess the potential to destroy dopamine receptors in the nigrostriatum, we have designed new analogues of haloperidol lacking the structural features necessary to form neurotoxic quaternary species but retaining their dopamine-binding capacity. The most potent agent at the D2 receptor, the homopiperidine analogue 11, was found to be equipotent to haloperidol. It was also of interest to identify analogues with DA binding profiles similar to that of clozapine at the dopamine receptor subtypes. Evaluation of the proposed agents shows that the ratio of D2 to D4 (2) binding of clozapine was mimicked by 7 [Ki(D2) = 33, Ki(D3) = 200, Ki(D4) = 11 nM; Ki(D2)/Ki(D4) = 3] and 9 [Ki(D2) = 44, Ki(D3) = 170, Ki(D4) = 24 nM; Ki(D2)/Ki(D4) = 2]. A preliminary in-vivo testing of compound 7 shows that its behavioral profile is similar to that of clozapine. This profile suggests that there is a need for further evaluation of these two synthetic agents and their enantiomers for efficacy and lack of catalepsy in animal models.
