Abstract
A class of substituted isoxazole and pyrazole derivatives of formula (I), or a salt thereof of or a prodrug thereof, wherein the broken circle represents two non-adjacent double bonds whereby the five-membered ring containing X and Y is aromatic; one of X and Y represents nitrogen, and the other of X and Y represents oxygen or N--R.sup.5 ; R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl or trifluoromethyl; R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently represent hydrogen, hydrocarbon, a heterocyclic group, halogen, cyano, trifluoromethyl, nitro, --OR.sup.a, --SR.sup.a, --SOR.sup.a, --SO.sub.2 R.sup.a, --SO.sub.2 NR.sup.a R.sup.b, --NR.sup.a R.sup.a, --NR.sup.a CO.sub.2 R.sup.b, --COR.sup.a, --CO.sub.2 R.sup.a or --CONR.sup.a R.sup.b, R.sup.4 represents hydrocarbon or a heterocyclic group; R.sup.5 represents hydrogen or C.sub.1-6 alkyl; and R.sup.a and R.sup.b independently represent hydrogen, hydrocarbon or a heterocyclic group, are ligands for dopamine receptor subtypes within the body and are therefore useful in the treatment and/or prevention of disorders of the dopamine system, in particular schizophrenia. ##STR1##
