| abstract |
This invention concerns the compounds of formula (n, the N-oxide forms, the pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts and the stereochemically isomeric forms thereof, wherein n is zero to 6; p is zero to 3; q is zero to 3; r is zero to 3; R1 and R2 each independently are hydrogen; optionally substituted C1-6alkyl; C1-6alkylcarbonyl; trihalomethylcarbonyl; or R1 and R2 taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached may form a morpholinyl ring or an optionally substituted heterocycle; each R3 and R4 independently are halo, cyano, hydroxy, trihalomethyl, trihalomethoxy, carboxyl, nitro, amino, mono- or di(C1-6alkyl)amino, C1-6alkylcarbonylamino, aminosulfonyl, mono- or di(C1-6alkyl)-aminosulfonyl, C1-6alkyl, C1-6alkyloxy C1-6alkylcarbonyl or C1-6alkyloxycarbonyl; each R5 independently is C1-6alkyl, cyano or trihalomethyl; X is CR6R7, NR8, O, S, S(=O) or S(=O)2; each formula (i) independently represents a bivalent aromatic heterocycle wherein the heterocycle may be selected from the group consisting of pyrrole pyrrazole, imidazole, triazole, furane, thiophene, isoxazole, oxazole, isothiazole, thiazole, pyridine, pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine and triazine; or one of the two bivalent aromatic heterocycles in the compounds of formula (I) may be 1,2-benzenediyl; and aryl is optionally substituted phenyl; it further relates to compositions comprising these compounds, as well as their use as therapeutic agents in the treatment or the prevention of CNS disorders, cardiovascular disorders or gastrointestinal disorders. |
