The invention relates to new crystalline modifications of the hydrochloride of 1-[4-(5-cyanoindol-3-yl)butyl]-4-(2-carbamoyl-benzofuran-5-yl)-piperazine, crystalline modification of the dihydrochloride of 1-[4-(5-cyanoindol-3-yl)butyl]-4-(2-carbamoyl-benzofuran-5-yl)-piperazine and amorphous 1-[4-(5-cyanoindol-3-yl)butyl]-4-(2-carbamoyl-benzofuran-5-yl)-piperazine hydrochloride which are suitable in particular for the preparation of solid medicaments for the treatment or prevention of depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, mania, dementia, substance-related disorders, sexual dysfunctions, eating disorders, obesity, fibromyalgia, sleeping disorders, psychiatric disorders, cerebral infarct, tension, for the therapy of side-effects in the treatment of hypogonadism, secondary amenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome and undesired puerperal lactation.

Polymorphic forms of 1-[4-(5-cyanoindol-3-yl)butyl]-4-(2-carbamoylbenzofuran-5-yl)piperazine hydrochloride

The present teachings provide a compound of Formula (I-B): 

4-(2-(6-substituted-hexylidene) hydrazinyl)benzonitrile and preparation thereof

Polymorphic forms of 1-'4-(5-cyanoindol-3-yl) butyl-4-(2-carbamoylbenzofuran-5-yl)piperazine hydrochloride

Polymorphic forms of 1-'4-(5-cyanoindol-3-yl)butyl-4-(2-carbamoylbenzofuran-5-yl)piperazine hydrochloride

Polymorphic forms of 1-'4-(5-cyanoindol-3-yl) butyl-4-(2-carbamoylbenzofuran-5-yl) piperazine hydrochloride

Substituted indoles of the formula (I) and physiologically acceptable derivatives and salts thereof, in which R, D, E, R, p, X, E, G, Xand Z are as defined in Claim, exhibit particular actions on the central nervous system, especially 5HT reuptake-inhibiting and 5 HTx-agonistic and/or -antagonistic actions and in particular serotonin-agonistic and -antagonistic properties and can be employed as antipsychotics, neuroleptics, antidepressants, anxiolyties and/or antihypertonics. They can furthermore be employed as excitatory amino acid antagonists for combating neurodegenerative diseases, including cerebrovascular diseases, epilepsy, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, cerebral ischaemia, infarction or psychoses. 

Substituted indoles

The invention relates to new crystalline modifications of the hydrochloride of 1-[4-(5-cyanoindol-3-yl) butyl]-4-(2-carbomyl-benzofuran-5-yl)-piperazine, crystaline modification of the dihydrochloride of 1-[4-(5-cyanoindol-3-yl) butyl]-4-(2-carbomyl-benzofuran-5-yl)-piperazine and amorphous 1-[4-(5-cyanoindol-3-yl)butyl]-4-(2-carbamoyl-benzofuran-5-yl)-piperazine hydrochloride which are suitable in particular for the preparation of solid medicaments for the treatment or prevention of depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, mania, dementia, substance-related disorders, sexual dysfunctions, eating disorders, obesity, fibromyalgia, sleeping disorders, psychiatric disorders, cerebral infarct, tension, for the therapy of side-effects in the treatment of hypogonadism, secondary amenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome and undesired puerperal lactation.

Chromenoneindole derivatives of the formula (I), in which R, R, R, R, A and B are as defined in Claim, and pharmaceutically usable prodrugs, derivatives, solvates, stereoisomers and salts thereof, exhibit particular actions on the central nervous system, in particular 5-HT reuptake-inhibiting and 5-HT-agonistic and/or -antagonistic actions. They are distinguished by particularly high bioavailability and particularly high inhibition of 5-HT reuptake. 

Chromenoneindoles

Polymorphic forms of 1-'4-(5-cyanoindol-3-yl)butyl-4-(2-carbamoylbenzofuran-5-yl) piperazine hydrochloride

Compounds of the formula (I), the use thereof for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of diseases associated with the serotonin receptor and/or serotonin reuptake, in particular for the preparation of a medicament as anxiolytic, antidepressant, neuroleptic and/or antihypertonic and/or for positively influencing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), sleeping disorders, tardive dyskinesia, learning disorders, age-dependent memory disorders, eating disorders, such as bulimia, and/or sexual dysfunctions. The compounds bind to the 5-HTreceptor. 

Indole derivatives as serotonin reuptake inhibitors

Compounds of the formula I in which R, R, Rand Rare as defined in Claim, are ligands of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and/or serotonergic ligands and are suitable for the prophylaxis or treatment of psychoses, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety states, dementia, in particular Alzheimer's disease and Lewy bodies dementia, neurodegenerative disorders, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, Tourette's syndrome, learning and memory restrictions, bulimia, anorexia nervosa or other eating disorders, compulsive behavior, premenstrual syndrome, age-induced memory impairment, amelioration of withdrawal symptoms in nicotine dependence, strokes or brain damage by toxic compounds, and for the treatment of disorders which are characterized by an excess of circulating serotonin or by serotonergic hyperactivity.

6H-oxazolo[4,5 e]indole derivatives as nicotinic acetylcholine receptor ligands and/or serotonergic ligands

Compounds of formula I in which R has a meaning as indicated in claim, or one of their optical isomers or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, used for the treatment of extrapyramidal movement disorders and/or adverse effects in extrapyramidal movement disorders and/or for the treatment of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) induced by neuroleptics. 

Use of substituted aminomethyl chromans

Substituted indoles of the formula (I) and physiologically acceptable derivatives and salts thereof, in which R, D, E, R, p, X, E, G, Xand Z are as defined in claim 1, exhibit particular actions on the central nervous system, especially 5HT reuptake-inhibiting and 5 HTx-agonistic and/or -antagonistic actions and in particular serotonin-agonistic and -antagonistic properties and can be employed as antipsychotics, neuroleptics, antidepressants, anxiolytics and/or antihypertonics. They can furthermore be employed as excitatory amino acid antagonists for combating neurodegenerative diseases, including cerebrovascular diseases, epilepsy, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, cerebral ischaemia, infarction or psychoses. 

The invention relates to indol derivatives of Formula (I) in which R1, R2, R3, X, A, n, m and p have the meanings indicated above. 

Indol derivatives and their use as 5-HT ligands

Novel indole derivatives of the formula (I), in which X, Y, R, R, m and n have the meanings indicated in Patent Claim 1, have a strong affinity to the 5-HTand in some cases to the 5-HTreceptors. The compounds inhibit serotonin reuptake, exhibit serotonin-agonistic and -antagonistic properties and are suitable as antidepressants, anxiolytics and for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases
