     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the invention 
     This invention relates to aminoquinoline derivatives which selectively bind to brain dopamine receptor subtypes. More specifically, it relates to 2-quinoly(azacycloalkylalkyl)amines and pharmaceutical compositions and preparations containing such compounds. It also relates to the use of such compounds in the treatment or prevention of neuropsychochological disorders such as schizophrenia and other central nervous system diseases. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     The therapeutic effect of conventional antipsychotics, known as neuroleptics, is generally believed to be exerted through blockade of dopamine receptors. However, neuroleptics are frequently responsible for undesirable extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) and tardive dyskinesias, which are attributed to blockade of D 2  receptors in the striatal region of the brain. The dopamine D 4  receptor subtype has recently been identified. See Nature 350: 610 (Van Tol et al., 1991) and Nature, 347:146 (Sokoloff et al., 1990) Its unique localization in limbic brain areas and its differential recognition of various antipsychotics suggest that the D 4  receptor plays a role in the etiology of schizophrenia. Consequently, selective D 4  antagonists are considered effective antipsychotics free from the neurological side effects displayed by conventional neuroleptics. 
     U.S Pat. No. 5,093,333 describes N-substituted-2-aminoquinolines said to be M 1  receptor agonists. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention provides novel compounds of Formula I which interact with dopamine receptor subtypes. A broad aspect of the invention is directed to compounds of Formula I: ##STR2## wherein: R 1 , R 2 , and R 3  independently represent hydrogen, halogen, C 1  -C 6  alkyl, C 1  -C 4  alkoxy, C 1  -C 4  alkylthio, hydroxy, amino, mono(C 1  -C 6 ) alkylamino, di(C 1  -C 6 ) alkylamino, cyano, nitro, trifluoromethyl or trifluoromethoxy; 
     R 6  is hydrogen or C 1  -C 6  alkyl: and 
     Q represents a substituted azacycloalkylalkyl group of the formula: ##STR3## where W is nitrogen, CH or COH, 
     A represents an alkylene group of from 2-5 carbon atoms optionally substituted with one or more alkyl groups having from one to four carbon atoms; and 
     T is an aryl or heteroaryl moiety optionally substituted with up to two groups selected from hydrogen, halogen C 1  -C 6  alkyl, C 1  -C 4  alkoxy, C 1  -C 4  alkylthio, hydroxy amino, mono(C 1  -C 6 ) alkylamino, di(C 1  -C 6 ) alkylamino, cyano, nitro, trifluoromethyl and trifluoromethoxy. 
     In yet another aspect, the invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of Formula I. 
     Since dopamine D 4  receptors are concentrated in the limbic system (Taubes, Science 265:1034, 1994) which controls cognition and emotion, compounds which interact with these receptors are useful in the treatment of cognitive disorders. Such disorders includes cognitive deficits which are a significant component of the negative symptoms (social withdrawal and unresponsiveness) of schizophrenia. In addition, disorders involving memory impairment or attention deficit disorders can be treated with the compounds of this invention. These compounds interact specifically with the dopamine D 4  receptor subtype. 
     The compounds of the invention demonstrate high affinity and selectivity in binding to the D 4  receptor subtype. The use of the compounds of this invention in methods of treating neuropsychlogical disorders is predicated on the ability of the compounds to bind selectively to a dopamine receptor subtype, the D 4  receptor. The compounds of the invention can therefore be used in the treatment of schizophrenia, psychotic depression and mania. Other dopamine-mediated diseases such as Parkinisonism and tardive dyskinesias can also be treated directly or indirectly by modulation of D 4  receptors. 
     Thus, in another aspect, the invention provides methods for treating and/or preventing neuropsychiological disorders including, for example, schizophrenia, mania, dementia, depression, anxiety, compulsive behavior, substance abuse, memory impairment, cognitive, deficits, Parkinson-like motor disorders and motion disorders related to the use of neuroleptic agents. It also provides methods of treating, affective disorders such as Alzheimer&#39;s disease and certain movements disorders such as Parkinsonism and dystonia. 
     The invention further provides methods for treating the extrapyramidal side effects associated with the use of conventional neuroleptic agents. The compounds of the present invention are also useful for the treatment of other disorders which respond to dopaminergic blockade such as substance abuse and obsessive compulsive disorder.

     In certain situations, compounds of Formula I may contain one or more asymmetric carbon atoms, so that the compounds can exist in different steroisomeric forms. These compounds can be, for example, racemates or optically active forms. For example, where R 6 , in Formula I is a methyl group, the resulting compound can be present as (R) and (S) stereoisomers. In these situations, the single enantiomers, i.e., optically active forms, can be obtained by asymmetric synthesis or by resolution of the racemates. Resolution of the racemates can be accomplished, for example, by conventional methods such as crystallization in the presence of a resolving agent, or chromatography, using, for example a chiral HPLC column. 
     Representative compounds of the present invention, which are encompassed by Formula I, include, but are not limited to the compounds in Table I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. If the compound of the invention is obtained as an acid addition salt, the free base can be obtained by basifying a solution of the acid salt. Conversely, if the product is a free base, an addition salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt, may be produced by dissolving the free base in a suitable organic solvent and treating the solution with an acid, in accordance with conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from base compounds. 
     Non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts include salts of acids such as hydrochloric, phosphoric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, sulfinic, formic, toluenlesulfonic, methanesulfonic, nitric, benzoic, citric, tartaric, maleic, hydroiodic, alkanoic such as, for example, acetic, HOOC--(CH 2 ) n  --COOH where n is 0-4, such as, for example, oxalic (n=0), and the like. Those skilled in the art will recognize a wide variety of non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts. 
     The present invention also encompasses the acylated prodrugs of the compounds of Formula I. Those skilled in the art will recognize various synthetic methodologies which may be employed to prepare non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts and acylated prodrugs of the compounds encompassed by Formula I. 
     By the terms (C 1  -C 6 )alkyl and lower alkyl is meant straight and branched chain alkyl groups having from 1-6 carbon atoms as well as cyclic alkyl, groups such as, for example, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, or cyclohexyl. Specific examples of such alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, sec-butyl, neopentyl and n-pentyl. Preferred C 1  -C 6  alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl or cyclopropylmetyl.

     Oily suspensions may be fromulated by suspending the active ingredients in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily supensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide palatable oral preparations. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid. 
     Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present. 
     Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring gums, for example gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean, lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol, anhydrides, for example sorbitan monoleate, and condensation products of the and partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monoleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening and flavoring agents.

Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative and flavoring and coloring agents. The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parentally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer&#39;s solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including, synthetic mono or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables. 
     The compounds of general Formula I may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials are cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols. 
     Compounds of general Formula I may be administered parenterally in a sterile medium. The drug, depending, on the vehicle and concentration used, can either be suspended or dissolved in the vehicle. Advantageously, adjuvants such as local anesthetics, preservatives and buffering agents can be dissolvcd in the vehicle. 
     Dosage levels of the order of from about 0.1 mg to about 140 mg per kilogram of body weight per day are useful in the treatment of the above-indicated conditions (about 0.5 mg to about 7 g per patient per day). The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage from will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. Dosage unit forms will generally contain between from about 1 mg to about 500 mg of an active ingredient. 
     It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion, drug combination and the severity of the particular disease undergoing, therapy. 
     Preparation of 2-Aminoalkylaminoquinolines 
     The compounds of Formula I, and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, may be prepared according to the reactions shown below in Schemes I and II. ##STR8## wherein R 1  -R 6 , W, Y and Z are as defined above for Formula I. 
     As shown in Scheme I, a quinoline of general structure IV, possessing an appropriate leaving group (X) at the 2 position e.g., a halogen or S-methyl group, may be reacted with a primary or secondary amine of general structure V in the presence of a base to afford a compound of Formula I as the desired product. The reaction may be carried out at elevated temperature with or without a solvent. Further, the reaction mixture may also contain an acid scavenger such as diisopropylamine or an inorganic salt such as ammonium chloride. 
     Where they are not commercially available, the compounds of general structure IV may be prepared by literature procedures or procedures analogous to those described in the literature. Compounds of general structure V are either known or capable of being prepared by the methods known in the art. Those having, skill in the art will recognize that the starting materials may be varied and additional steps employed to produce compounds encompassed by the present invention. 
     Alternatively, compounds of the invention may be prepared according to the reactions shown in Scheme II. Thus, compounds may be prepared from readily available substituted or unsubstituted 4-haloquinoline compounds by allowing them to react with a Wittig reagent, such as an alkyl triphenylphosphonate generated from an alkyltriphenylphosphonium halide, plus a base, such as n-butyllithium in an organic solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran. The resulting, 4-alkylquinoline can be converted to a 4-alkyl-2-haloquinoline by treatment with an oxidizing agent, such as m-chloroperbenizoic acid (MCPBA) in an appropriate solvent, such as chloroform, to give the corresponding 4-alkylquinoline N-oxide, followed by reaction with a halogenating agent, such as phosphorus oxychloride to give a 4-alkyl-2-haloquinoline of Formula IVa. Reaction of 2-haloquinoline IVa with amines of Formula V, as described above, yields compounds of this invention. ##STR9## wherein R 1  -R 6 , are as defined above, R 1  is alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and X is halogen. 
     The disclosures in this application of all articles and references including patents are incorporated herein by reference. 
    
    
     Those having skill in the art will recognize that the starting materials may be varied and additional steps employed to produce compounds encompassed by the present invention.

     Pellets of COS cells containing recombinantly produced D 2  or D 4  receptors from African Green monkey were used for the assays. The sample is homogenized in 100 volumes (w/vol) of 0.05 M Tris HCl buffer at 4° C. and pH 7.4. The sample is then centrifuged at 30,000×g and resuspended and rehomogenized. The sample is then centrifuged as described and the final tissue sample is frozen until use. The tissue is resuspended 1:20 (wt/vol) in 0.05 M Tris HCl buffer containing 100 mM NaCl. 
     Incubations are carried out at 48° C. and contain 0.4 ml of tissue sample, 0.5 nM  3  H-YM 09151-2 and the compound of interest in a total incubation of 1.0 ml. Nonspecific binding is defined as that binding found in the presence of 1mM spiperone; without further additions nonspecific binding is less than 20% of total binding. Binding characteristics of various compounds of the invention for D 2  and D 4  receptor subtypes are shown in Table 1 for rat striatal homogenates.
