ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention provides a method for treating or alleviating the symptoms of pathologic psychosis, comprising administering an effective amount of a cyano-oxime compound.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The method of this invention provides a method for treating schizophrenia using compounds which were previously disclosed for use in the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease. The method of this invention provide the clinician with another treatment option for the treatment of psychotic conditions. The compounds used in the presently claimed method appear to have an acceptable side effect profile while providing surprising anti-psychotic activity.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a method for treating a condition selected from the group consisting of schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder, and schizoaffective disorder, comprising administering an effective amount of Compound I:
wherein
r represents an integer of 2 to 4, s represents 1 or 2 and t represents 0 or 1;
R
2
is a group OR

, where R
4
is C
1-4
alkyl, C
2-4
alkenyl, C

is hydrogen or R
4
; and R
3
is CN; or
a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

4
is C
1-4
alkyl, C
2-4
alkenyl, C
2-4
alkynyl, a group OCOR
5
where R
5
is hydrogen or R
