DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
This invention relates to hexahydro-pyrido[4,3-b]indole derivatives having therapeutic potential in psychotic disorders, and processes for their preparation; it further relates to compositions comprising these derivatives, as well as their use as a medicine.
A number of hexahydro-pyrido[4,3-b]indole compounds substituted on the 2-position with an alkyl group bearing a substituted phenyl and an hydroxy, which have antipsychotic properties as evidenced by their ability to block the action of dopamine receptors of the central nervous system, are disclosed in J. Med. Chem. 22:677-683 (1979) and J. Med. Chem. 29:2093-2099 (1986). J. Med. Chem. 23:949-952 (1980) describes 4a,9b-trans-8-fluoro-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-bu tyl]-2,3,4,4a,5,9b-hexahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole hydrochloride as a neuroleptic agent capable of blocking dopamine receptors.
The problem which this invention sets out to solve is to provide compounds having besides central dopamine antagonistic activity also central serotonin antagonistic activity at the same dosage, a combination which is considered advantageous in potential antipsychotic drugs.
The compounds of the present invention differ from the cited art compounds structurally, by the fact that the tricyclic hexahydro-pyrido[4,3-b]indole moiety, also known as a hexahydro .gamma.-carboline moiety, is invariably substituted on the 2-position with an alkyl group bearing a pyrimidinyl derivative, and by their favourable pharmacological properties, in particular by the fact that in addition to their excellent central dopamine antagonistic activity the compounds of the present invention also have potent central serotonin antagonistic activity.
The present invention concerns the compounds of formula ##STR2## the N-oxide forms, the pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts and the stereochemically isomeric forms thereof, wherein halo, hydroxy, nitro, cyano, trifluoromethyl, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, C.sub.1-6 alkyloxy, C.sub.1-6 alkylthio, mercapto, amino, mono- and di(C.sub.1-6 alkyl)amino, carboxyl, C.sub.1-6 alkyloxycarbonyl and C.sub.1-6 alkylcarbonyl; alkylthio, or a radical of formula --NR.sup.8 R.sup.9, wherein R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are each independently selected from hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, phenyl or phenylC.sub.1-6 alkyl; --R.sup.6 --R.sup.7 --,

As used in the foregoing definitions and hereinafter, halo is generic to fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo; C.sub.1-6 alkyl defines straight and branched chain saturated hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, 1-methylethyl, 2-methylpropyl, 2,2-dimethylethyl, pentyl, hexyl, 3-methylbutyl, 2-methylpentyl and the like; C.sub.1-10 alkyl is meant to comprise C.sub.1-6 alkyl and the hi
