Three series of benzamides of N,N-disubstituted ethylenediamines (linear alkane-1,2-diamines), 1-substituted 2-(aminomethyl)pyrrolidines, and 1-substituted 3-aminopyrrolidines (cyclic alkane-1,2-diamines) were designed and synthesized as potential neuroleptics. All target compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on apomorphine-induced stereotyped behavior in rats, and a good correlation between structure and activity was found throughout the series. In the linear series (analogues of metoclopramide), introduction of a benzyl group on the terminal nitrogen, rather than an ethyl group, and a methyl group on the p-amino group of metoclopramide both enhanced the activity. The resulting N-[2-(N-benzyl-N-methylamino)ethyl]-5-chloro-2-methoxy-4-(methylamino) benzamide(23) was about 15 times more active than metoclopramide. In the cyclic series, particularly among the benzamides of 1-benzyl-3-aminopyrrolidine, most of the compounds tested were more active than the corresponding linear benzamides. cis-N-(1-Benzyl-2-methylpyrrolidin-3-yl)-5-chloro-2-methoxy-4-(methylamino) benzamide (YM-09151-2, 55) was the most active among all of the compounds tested, being 13 and 408 times more potent than haloperidol and metoclopramide, respectively. Moreover, compound 55 exhibited a fairly high ratio of antistereotypic activity to cataleptogenicity compared with haloperidol and metoclopramide. It is expected that compound 55 may be used as a potent drug with few side effects in the treatment of psychosis.
