Abstract
This invention provides a novel class of oxadiazolyl piperidines which exhibit a high binding affinity for dopamine ligands. The compounds of the invention display selectivity for the dopamine D.sub.4 receptor over the dopamine D.sub.2 receptor. Preferably, these compounds act as dopamine antagonists, which are useful in the treatment of psychotic disorders.
