ABSTRACT:

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to new amide compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which are useful as a medicament.
BACKGROUND ART
Some aminopiperazine derivatives have been known as useful anti-amnesia or anti-dementia agents, for example, in PCT International Publication Nos. WO 91/01979 and WO 98/35951.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
This invention relates to new amide compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
More particularly, it relates to new amide compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which have the potentiation of the cholinergic activity, to processes for the preparation thereof, to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, and to a method for the treatment and/or prevention of disorders in the central nervous system for mammals, and more particularly to method for the treatment and/or prevention of amnesia, dementia (e.g., senile dementia, Alzheimer's dementia, dementia associated with various diseases such as cerebral vascular dementia, cerebral post-traumatic dementia, dementia due to brain tumor, dementia due to chronic subdural hematoma, dementia due to normal pressure hydrocephalus, post-meningitis dementia, Parkinson's disease type dementia, etc.), and the like. Additionally, the object compound is expected to be useful as therapeutical and/or preventive agents for schizophrenia, depression, stroke, head injury, nicotine withdrawal, spinal cord injury, anxiety, pollakiuria, incontinence of urine, myotonic dystrophy, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, excessive daytime sleepiness (narcolepsy), Parkinson's disease or autism.
One object of this invention is to provide new and useful amide compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which possess the potentiation of the cholinergic activity.
Another object of this invention is to provide processes for preparation of said amide compounds and salts thereof.
A further object of this invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising, as an active ingredient, said amide compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Still further object of this invention is to provide a therapeutic method for the treatment and/or prevention of aforesaid diseases in mammals, using said amide compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
