The present invention relates to novel compounds of the general formula STR1 wherein R 1 is hydrogen;R. sup.2 is hydrogen, trifluoromethyl or lower alkyl;R 3 is hydrogen or amino; or R 1 and R 2 or R 3 and R 2 taken together are--CH. dbd.CH--CH=CH--;Z is pyrimidin-4-yl, pyridin-4-yl, pyridin-2-yl or phenyl; R 4, R 5 are each independently hydrogen, lower alkyl, trifluoromethyl, halogen, lower alkoxy, nitrilo, amino, lower alkyl-amino, di-lower alkyl-amino, piperazinyl, morpholinyl, pyrrolidinyl, vinyl, C. sub.3-C 6 cycloalkyl, C 3-C 6 cycloalkenyl, t-buthylethinyl, hydroxyalkylethinyl, phenylethinyl, naphthyl, thiophenyl, or phenyl, which may be substituted by halogen, lower alkoxy, lower alkyl, trifluoromethyl or nitro, or a group--NH(CH. sub.2). sub.n NR 6 R 7,--N(CH 3)(CH 2) n NR 6 R. sup.7,--NH(CH 2) n-morpholin-4-yl or--NH(CH 2) n OH; n is 2-4R 6 and R 7 are each independently hydrogen or lower alkyl,and to their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. It has been found that the compounds of formula I possess a selective affinity to 5HT-6 receptors.
