A series of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-carboxamides, presenting a stabilized intramolecular hydrogen bond, was synthesized and evaluated in pharmacological models for antipsychotic activity. Among them, N-[(1-butyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)methyl]-2-methyl-5-sulfamoyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-carboxamide (15) showed an atypical neuroleptic profile similar to that of sulpiride (1) and more lipophilic properties than 1. Compounds 15 was 11 times more potent in antagonistic activity on apomorphine-induced hyperactivity in mice (ED_<50>=30mg/kg, p.o.) and stronger in potentiation of methamphetamine lethality in rats than 1,while it was as weak in inhibitory activity of apomorphine-induced stereotype in rats (ED_<50>>500mg/kg, p.o.) as 1. On the other hand, N-[(1-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)methyl]-2-methyl-5-methylthio-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-carboxamide (30) showed classical neuroleptic profile with a potency comparable to haloperidol in antagonistic activity on apomorphine-induced hyperactivity in mice (ED_<50>=0.65mg/kg, p.o.). The structure-activity relationships were also discussed.
