Abstract

Behavioral pharmacological data with the compound of formula (I), a novel and selective 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonist, demonstrate in vivo efficacy in models of psychosis and dyskinesias. This includes activity in reversing MK-801 induced locomotor behaviors, suggesting that this compound may be an efficacious anti-psychotic, and activity in an MPTP primate model of dyskinesias, suggesting efficacy as an anti-dyskinesia agent. These data support the hypothesis that 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonism may confer antipsychotic and anti-dyskinetic efficacy in humans, and indicate a use of the compound of formula (I) and related agents as novel therapeutics for Parkinson'"'"'s Disease, related human neurodegenerative diseases, and psychosis.

Claims

1-86. -86. (canceled)

87. A method for treating a disease or disorder selected from the group consisting of migraine, vasospasm, hypertension, a thrombotic condition, and a peripheral vascular disease, comprising administering to a patient having the disease or disorder a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof:

88. The method of claim 87, wherein the disease or disorder is migraine.

89. The method of claim 87, wherein the disease or disorder is vasospasm.

90. The method of claim 87, wherein the disease or disorder is hypertension.

91. The method of claim 87, wherein the disease or disorder is a thrombotic condition is myocardial infarction, stroke, or thrombocytopenic purpura.

92. The method of claim 91, wherein the stroke is thrombotic or ischemic stroke.

93. The method of claim 91, wherein the thrombocytopenic purpura is idiopathic or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

94. The method of claim 87, wherein the disease or disorder is a peripheral vascular disease.
