Pyrimidine derivatives connected with a piperazine ring and used for the treatment of urination disorders are described by Japanese Patent Application No. J 3 090 027. Uracil compounds of similar type are known from DE-P No. 1 942 405. One of the known uracil compounds is urapidil, a blood pressure lowering drug. However, in case of the above compounds, the two heterorings are connected through an alkylamino group.

Pyrimidine derivatives bonded to a piperazine ring through an alkoxy group and having sedative and hypotensive activity are described by BE-P Nr. 756 127.

It was found that the novel compounds of the formula I, wherein the heterorings containing nitrogen atoms are connected through an alkylthio group, have excellent biological activity influencing the serotonerg system.

In the description, a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group is a methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, sec.-butyl, tert.-butyl, n-butyl or isobutyl group. Preferably, C.sub.1-4 alkyl is methyl.

The piperazinylalkylthiopyrimidine derivatives of the invention are prepared by reacting a 2-mercaptopyrimidine of the formula ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined above, or an alkali metal salt thereof with a haloalkylpiperazine derivative of the formula ##STR4## wherein R.sup.6, m, n, p and k are as stated above, Hlg stands for chloro or bromo, or an acid addition salt thereof, and, if desired, transforming an obtained compound of the formula I into a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt or liberating the base from the acid addition salt.

The process of the invention is performed in a solvent or solvent mixture that is indifferent from the point of view of the reactants. For example aliphatic alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol; dialkylamides preferably dimethylformamide; dialkyl sulfoxides preferably dimethyl sulfoxide; or the mixtures thereof can be used. It is especially preferred to react the reactants in methanol, dimethylformamide or a mixture of methanol and dimethyl-formamide.

A further alternative is to pour the reaction mixture into water in order to dissolve the inorganic salts, and filtering the product precipitated.

If desired, the reaction product is purified by known purification methods such as recrystallization or chromatography.

The compounds of the formula I can be also separated in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts mentioned above, or a compound of the formula I obtained as a base can be converted to acid addition salt in a subsequent step by reaction with the suitable acid in an indifferent solvent. From the acid addition salt, the base can be repeatedly liberated and optionally converted to another acid addition salt.

A large part of the starting compounds of the formula II is known from the literature or is commercially available. These known compounds can be prepared by the modified Traube's synthesis /W. Traube, Ann., 331, 64 (1904)/or by the method of Jose et al./Heterocycles, 19 (2), 305-311 (1982)/. However, the compounds of the formula II, wherein R.sup.1 is an amino group, R.sup.2 represents a nitrile group, R.sup.3 stands for a 4-bromophenyl, 2- or 4-chlorophenyl, 2- or 4-methoxyphenyl, 4-dimethylaminophenyl, 4-benzyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl or 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl group, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 mean hydrogen, as well as the compounds of the formula II, wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 stand for an amino group, R.sup.2 is a 2-furylmethyl, cyclohexylmethyl, benzyl or mono-, di- or trisubstituted benzyl group, R.sup.4 forms together with R.sup.5 a valence bond, are novel, that are not described in the literature. They can be prepared by the synthesis methods of the known compounds (e.g. European Patent Application No. 465 323).

A part of the haloalkylpiperazine derivatives of the formula III is also known from the literature. They can be prepared by means of the method described by e.g. C. B. Pollard et al./J. Org. Chem., 24, 764-767 (1959)/ or Sidney D. Ross et al./J. Am. Chem. Soc., 85 (24), 3999-4003 (1963)/. The starting compounds of the formula III, wherein R.sup.6 represents a 2-nitro, 3-chloro, 3-nitrile, 3-trifluoromethyl, 4-methoxy or 4-methyl group, m has a value of 1, n has a value of 1 or 2, p has a value of 2, and Hlg is chloro or bromo, or R.sup.6 stands for a 2,6-dinitro-4-trifluoromethyl or 2-nitro-4-trifluoromethyl group, m has a value of 0, n has a value of 1 or 2, p has a value of 2, and Hlg is a chloro or bromo, are novel compounds that can be prepared by the methods given in connection with the known compounds.

Our studies revealed that the compounds of the invention bind strongly to different serotonin receptor subtypes, and inhibit serotonin-evoked smooth muscle contractions of the rat gastric fundus and the rabbit aorta. The chemical name of serotonin is 3-(2-aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol.

5-HT.sub.2A and 5-HT.sub.2C receptor binding was measured according to the methods described by Leysen et al. /Mol. Pharmacol., 21, 301 (1981)/ and Pazos et al. /Eur. J. Pharmacol., 106, 539 (1985)/, respectively. 5-HT.sub.2A receptor binding was measured in rat brain frontal cortex membrane preparation using tritiated ketanserine /3-/2-(4-fluorobenzoyl)- -1-piperidinyl/ethyl-2,4-(1H,3H)-quinazoline-dione/(60-90 Ci/mmole) as ligand. 5-HT.sub.2C receptor binding was measured in pig brain choroid plexus membrane preparation using tritiated mesulergine /N'-/(8)-1,6-dimethyl-ergoline-8-yl/-N,N-dimethylsulfamide (70-85 Ci/mmole) as the ligand. Non-specific binding to 5-HT.sub.2A and 5-HT.sub.2C receptors were determined in the presence of 10 micro M cyproheptadine/4-(5H-dibenzo/a,d/cycloheptene-5-ylidene)-1-methylpiperidin e/ and 1 micro M mianserine/1,2,3,4,10,14b-hexahydro-2-methyldibenzo-/c,f/pyrazino/1,2-a/az epine/, respectively. The final incubation volumes were 250 and 1000 microlitres. Samples were incubated for 15 and 30 minutes at 37.degree. C. Incubation was stopped by adding 9 ml of ice-cold 50 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane hydrochloride (pH=7.7) to the reaction mixture. The samples were rapidly filtered through Whatman GF/B glass fiber filters using reduced pressure. Before use, the filters were soaked in a 0.05% poly-ethyleneimine solution for 2 to 3 hours. Radioactivity of the filters was determined by a scintillation spectrometer.

The results obtained are shown in Table I. ______________________________________ Effect of the compounds examined On 5-HT.sub.2A and 5-HT.sub.2C receptors Compound  Inhibition of receptor binding (Example  of the radioactive ligand No.)      5-HT.sub.2C  (K.sub.i in nm/1) 5-HT.sub.2A ______________________________________ 3        >100                   58 5        67                     16 12        47                     >100 13        12                     20 14        >100                   78 19        >100                   48 20        >100                   203 21        39                     >100 22        >100                   56 23        >100                   20 24        22                     18 25        >100                   20 26        45                     48 28        50                     >100 31        21                     >100 34        >100                   71 35        69                     >100 36        18                     >100 39        27                     not tested 40        >100                   21 44        >100                   93 45        25                     27 47        33                     >100 53        >100                   15 56        57                     38 57        42                     >100 65        42                     34 66        >100                   61 67        8.6                    4.6 68        >100                   21 69        26                     38 72        20                     24 101       24                     16 ______________________________________

From Table I it can be seen that the compounds of the formula I have considerable affinity for 5-HT.sub.2A and 5-HT.sub.2C receptors. muscle

The experiments were performed on male Wistar rats weighing 350 to 400 g. The animals were fasted for 24 hours before the experiments, however, they were allowed to drink tap water ad libitum. The method used was a modified version of Vane et al. /J. Pharmac. Chemother., 12, 344 (1957)/. The rats were killed by decapitation and their stomach was removed, and 3 mm wide and 20 to 30 mm long strips were cut in parallel with the greatest curvature of the stomach. The strips were incubated for 60 minutes in a 6 ml Lucite chamber filled with Tyrode solution (NaCl 136.9 mM, KCl.sub.2.7 mM, CaCl.sub.2 1.8 mM, MgCl.sub.2 1.0 mM, NaHCO.sub.3 11.9 mM, glucose 5.6 mM, NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 0.4 mM) warmed to 37.degree. C. and bubbled with a gas consisting of 95% of oxygen and 5% of carbon dioxide. The strips were stretched with 0.5 g during the 60 minutes equilibration time and were washed every 20 minutes. The tension was measured isometrically by a strain gauge (Hugo Sachs) and was recorded on a Graphtech Mark VII 3101 polygraph.

Experimental protocol: 10.sup.-7 M concentration (C1, C2, C3). threshold concentration of the compound to be tested was added to the bath and the strip was contracted by 5-HT (10.sup.-7 M) in its presence (T1). concentrations (T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6). After determining the effect of two concentrations of the test compounds, the control 5-HT response was checked after each test measurement.

Results and evaluation: effect of increasing concentrations of the test compound.

The compounds of the invention inhibit the 5-HT-evoked contractions of the isolated rat stomach fundus smooth muscle strips. The results obtained are shown in Table II. ______________________________________ Inhibition of 5-HT-evoked contractions of isolated rat stomach fundus Compound      Inhibition, (Example No.) IC.sub.50 (micro M/1) ______________________________________ 20            0.56 22            0.32 48            0.42 57            0.89 64            0.68 ______________________________________ rabbit aorta

New-Zealand, male, white rabbits weighing 2.0 to 2.5 kg were killed by a blow on the head. The thoracic aorta segment after the aortic arch was removed and placed into a Krebs' solution (NaCl 118 mM, KCl 4.6 mM, NaHCO.sub.3 25 mM, glucose 10.5 mM, Mg.sub.3 (SO.sub.4).sub.2 1 mM, KH2PO.sub.4 1 mM, CaCl.sub.2 2.6 mM). The aorta was carefully cleaned from fat and connective tissue, and was cut into 3 mm wide and 30 mm long helical strips. Four strips were obtained from each rabbit. The strips were equilibrated at 37.degree. C. for 60 minutes in an organ chamber filled with Krebs' solution. The strips were also oxygenated by bubbling carbogen gas (5% of carbon dioxide and 95% of oxygen) through the solution. The strips were stretched by 1 g tension.

The contractions were measured by a Hugo Sachs K-30 type strain gauge, and were registered on a Multicorder type polygraph. During the last 40 minutes of the equilibration, the MAO enzym inhibitor tranylcypramine (10.sup.-7 M) /chemical name: (.+-.)-trans-2-phenylcyclopropylamine/ was also added to the bath.

Any alpha-adrenergic effects of the test compounds were eliminated by 10.sup.-8 M of phenoxybenzamine /N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-(1-methyl-2-phenoxyethyl)benzylamine/ /Clancy et al., J. Pharm. Exp. Ther., 233, 761 (1985). Testing of the serotonergic antagonistic effect was started at the 90th minute of incubation. The stability and reproducibility of the contractile response of the aortic strips to serotonin was tested by two consecutive application and wash-out procedures of 10.sup.-6 M concentration of 5-HT, 40 minutes apart. Measurements were continued only in the case if peak tensions in the above test did not differ by more than 10%. 30 minutes after the second testing, a preset concentration of the test compound was added to the bath, and, after a 10 minutes incubation time, the response to 10.sup.-6 M of 5-HT was determined in the presence of the compound to be tested.

Two different concentrations of a given compound were tested on each aortic strip by the above method. Reproducibility of the control 5-HT-evoked response was checked between testing the two concentrations of the compound. The second concentration was tested only if the 5-HT-evoked tension did not differ by more than .+-.10% from the original control response.

IC.sub.50 was calculated by nonlinear curve fitting of the inhibitory effect of increasing concentrations of the test compound. The results obtained are shown in Table III. ______________________________________ Inhibition of 5-HT-evoked contractions on isolated rabbit aortic strips Compound      Inhibition, (Example No.) IC.sub.50 (micro M/1) ______________________________________ 3            0.96 5            0.25 13            0.12 14            6.0 20            1.5 22            0.42 23            0.67 24            0.24 25            0.28 26            0.26 27            0.9 31            0.73 39            0.3 44            0.65 45            0.43 53            0.47 54            0.57 56            0.9 57            0.89 65            0.17 67            0.039 68            0.78 69            0.096 72            0.084 ______________________________________

Based on the results presented in Table III, it can be stated that the compounds of the invention effectively inhibit the serotonin-evoked contractions of the isolated rabbit aortic preparation.

Based on the results of the above studies, the novel compounds of the formula I can be applied for the treatment of various disorders due to pathological alterations of the central nervous system.

The compounds of the formula I demonstrated inhibitory activity primarily at 5-HT.sub.2A and 5-HT.sub.2C serotonergic receptor subtypes. Based on literature data, these receptors play a fundamental role in the pathomechanism of anxiety disorders, schizophrenia and migraine. The 5-HT.sub.2C receptor agonist m-chlorophenylpiperazine/Conn et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 83, 4086 (1986)/ induces anxiety both in rats /Kennett et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol., 164, 455 (1989)/ and human beings /Kahn and Weltzer, Biol. Psychiat., 30, 1139 (1991)/. Based on studies performed in rats, the anxiogenic effect of m-chlorophenylpiperazine can be attributed to the activation of 5-HT.sub.2C (formerly 5-HT.sub.1C) receptors /Kennett et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol., 164, 455 (1989)/. Compounds with antagonistic effect at the 5-HT.sub.2A/2C receptors have been shown to be anxiolytic in animal experiments /Kennett, Psychopharmacol., 107, 379 (1992)/.

The 5-HT.sub.2A/2C receptor antagonistic compound ritanserin /chemical name: 6-[2-14-bis(4-fluorophenyl)methylene/-1-piperidinyl-ethyl]-7-7-methy l-5H-thiazolo/3,2-a/pirimidine-5-one/ has been proved to be effective for the treatment of different forms of human anxiety /Ceulemans et al., Pharmacopsychiat., 18, 303 (1985)/. Usefulness of 5-HT.sub.2A receptor antagonists for neuroleptic indication is proved by the fact that a basic role is attributed to the 5-HT.sub.2A antagonistic effect in the therapeutic efficacy of clozapine/chemical name: 8-chloro-11-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-5H-dibenzo/b,e//1,4/-diazepine/, a widely used neuroleptic compound/Meltzer, J. Clin. Psychiatry, 55 Suppl. B, 47 (1994)/.

Usefulness of the compounds of the invention for prophylactic treatment of migraine is supported by both the 5-HT.sub.2A/2C receptor antagonistic properties of the compounds /Sleight et al. in Serotonin Receptor Subtypes: Basic and Clinical Aspects, ed. Peroutka, S. J., pp. 211, Wiley-Liss Inc., (1991)/ and their activity exhibited in rat stomach fundus test.

Besides central nervous system disorders, the compounds of the invention can be useful for the treatment of ischemic heart disease. Results of the rabbit aorta test make it probable that the compounds can have 5-HT.sub.2 antagonistic effect also on the heart vessels and the myocardium. It is known that 5-HT.sub.2 receptor antagonists play a role in the development of heart disease. 5-HT.sub.2 receptor antagonistic compounds also improve contractility and accelerate regeneration of the myocardium after an ischemic insult/Grover et al., J. Cardiovasc. Pharmacol., 22, 664 (1993)/.

A role of serotonergic receptors is assumed in the regulation of food consumption and body temperature as well as development of depression, addiction to drugs and alcohol, some other gastroenterologic and circulatory disorders, and in the pathomechanism of pain/Sleight et al. in Serotonin Receptor Subtypes: Basic and Clinical Aspects, ed. Peroutka, S. J., pp. 211, Wiley-Liss Inc., (1991); Kennett, Drugs, 125 (1993)/.
