At present, TSPO ligands are very widely studied, and it 15 has been reported that many compounds exert good activity in TECHNICAL FIELD vivo and in vitro, and TSPO ligands having relatively high affinity and selectivity are reported as well. According to their The present invention belongs to medical chemical field, chemical structure, there are mainly benzodiazepines (e.g., and relates to 2-arylimidazol-2-alpyridine-3-acetamide 4'-chlorodiazepam (Ro5-4864), isoquinoline amides, ben derivatives, their preparation methods and uses. The present Zothiazepines, benzoxazepines, indole acetamides (e.g., invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition FGIN), imidazopyridine acetamides, aryloxyaniline deriva comprising a compound of Formula I, its tautomer, its race tives, pyrazolopyrimidine acetamides, 3-indolyloxamides, mic or optical isomer, its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or 2-arylpyrimidine derivatives, and 2-aryl-8-oxypurine deriva its Solvate, a method for treatment and/or prophylaxis of a tives.

Curr Med Chem, 2009, 16(26): 3359 Formula I 30 3380.). In corresponding animal models and clinical studies, some of the selective TSPO ligands had been showed potential values in creating new drugs with TSPO as target. For example, PK1 1195, a TSPO/PBR selective antagonist, has 35 been widely used in finding new types of TSPO ligands and activity comparison as a tool drug. In addition, Emapunil (AC-5216, XBD173) has high selectivity and affinity, less side effects, no remarkable withdrawal symptoms and drug withdraw rebounding symptoms, and thus enters phase II 40 clinical research (Science 2009, 325, 490-195; Prog Neuro BACKGROUND ART Psychoph, 2009, 33, 1040-1045.). However, most of these compounds have poor pharmacokinetics, low bioavailability, Anxiety disorder has main symptoms such as panic, uneasy difficulty in penetrating blood brain barrier. Hence, it is still and repeated anxieties, and patients under mental disorder needed to find better TSPO ligands. state cannot exert normal living ability and effectively work, 45 and long-term of diseases may grievously influence patients CONTENTS OF THE INVENTION health and daily life, and even may induce more serious consequences such as Suicide.
