A series of substituted (4-(4-(1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl)butyl)benzamide derivatives was prepared and evaluated as potential atypical antipsychotic agents. The target compounds were readily prepared from their benzoyl chloride, benzoic acid, or isatoic anhydride precursors, and they were evaluated in vitro for their ability to bind to dopamine D2, serotonin 5-HT2, and serotonin 5-HT1a receptors. To assess the potential antipsychotic activity of these compounds, we investigated their ability to inhibit the apomorphine-induced climbing response in mice. Selected compounds were evaluated further to determine their side-effect potentials. Structure-activity relationships of both mono- and polysubstituted benzamides are discussed herein. While several analogues had potent in vitro and in vivo activities indicative of potential atypical antipsychotic activity, anthranilamide 77 (1192U90) ddemonstrated a superior pharmacological profile. As a result of this investigation, 1192U90 (2-amino-N-(4-(4-(1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl)butyl)ben zamide hydrochloride) was selected for further evaluation and is currently in phase I clinical trials as a potential atypical antipsychotic agent.

D001058	Apomorphine	A derivative of morphine that is a dopamine D2 agonist. It is a powerful emetic and has been used for that effect in acute poisoning. It has also been used in the diagnosis and treatment of parkinsonism, but its adverse effects limit its use.

D013329	Structure-Activity Relationship	The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.

D013844	Thiazoles	Heterocyclic compounds where the ring system is composed of three CARBON atoms, a SULFUR and NITROGEN atoms.	Thiazole
D014150	Antipsychotic Agents	Agents that control agitated psychotic behavior, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect. They are used in SCHIZOPHRENIA; senile dementia; transient psychosis following surgery; or MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; etc. These drugs are often referred to as neuroleptics alluding to the tendency to produce neurological side effects, but not all antipsychotics are likely to produce such effects. Many of these drugs may also be effective against nausea, emesis, and pruritus.
