2-heteroaryl carboxamides

Abstract

The invention relates to novel 2-heteroaryl carboxamides and to the use thereof for producing medicaments for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases and for improving perception, concentration, learning and/or memory.

1 . A method for the treatment or prophylaxis of impairments of perception, concentration, learning and/or memory comprising administering to a human or animal at least one compound of formula (I): 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       in which
 R 1  is 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl, which is optionally substituted via the nitrogen atom by a radical selected from the group of C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, benzyl and oxy, 
 R 2  is hydrogen or C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, 
 R 3  is hydrogen, halogen or C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, 
 R 4  is hydrogen, halogen, cyano, amino, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, C 1 -C 6 -alkylcarbonyl, C 1 -C 6 -alkylamino, formyl, hydroxycarbonyl, C 1 -C 6 -alkoxy, C 1 -C 6 -alkoxycarbonyl, C 1 -C 6 -alkylthio, C 1 -C 6 -alkylcarbonylamino, C 1 -C 6 -alkylaminocarbonyl, C 1 -C 4 -alkylsulphonylamino, C 3 -C 8 -cycloalkylcarbonyl-amino, C 3 -C 6 -cycloalkylaminocarbonyl, pyrrolyl, C 1 -C 6 -alkylaminocarbonylamino, hydroxyl, phenyl morpholinyl, oxypiperidinyl, oxopyrrolidinyl, oxomorpholinyl, pyrrolidinyl, morpholinylcarbonyl, piperidinyl, pyridinyl, dihydropyrrolylcarbonyl, C 1 -C 6 -alkylpiperizinylcarbonyl, isoxazolecarbonylamino, tetrahydrofuranylcarbonylamino, furoylamino, piperidinylcarbonyl, or piperidinylcarbonyl,
 where C 1 -C 6 -alkyl may optionally be substituted by hydroxyl, cyano, amino, C 1 -C 6 -alkylaminocarbonylamino, C 1 -C 6 -alkylaminocarboxyl, morpholinyl or aryl, 
 C 1 -C 6 -alkylaminocarbonyl may optionally be substituted by C 1 -C 6 -alkoxy or C 1 -C 6 -alkylamino, and 
 C 1 -C 6 -alkylcarbonylamino may optionally be substituted by C 1 -C 6 -alkoxy, 
 
 A is oxygen or sulphur, 
 the ring B is benzo, each of which are optionally substituted by radicals from the series halogen, cyano, formyl, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, nitro, amino, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl and C 1 -C 6 -alkoxy,
 and 
 
 E is C≡C, phenylene, thienylene, oxadizolylene, pyrrolylene, furanylene, pyrimidinylene, or pyridinylene wherein each ring system respectively may be substituted by radicals from the series halogen, cyano, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, nitro, amino, C 1 -C 6 -alkoxy and C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, 
 or a salt thereof.
