Abstract

Dopaminergics of types 1 and 2 incorporating a conjugated enyne as an atypical catechol-simulating moiety were synthesized in enantiomerically pure form and investigated for their metabolic stability. Radioligand binding studies indicated high affinity to D-like receptors. The test compounds were evaluated for their ability to differentially activate distinct signaling pathways. Measurement of D- and D-mediated [ S]GTPγS incorporation in the presence of coexpressed Gα and Gα subunits showed significantly biased receptor activation for several test compounds. Thus, the 2-azaindolylcarboxamide (S)-2a exhibited substantial functional selectivity for D-promoted G activation over G coupling. The most significant bias was determined for the triazolylalkoxy-substituted benzamide (S)-2c that displayed higher potency for G activation than for G coupling at the D subtype. Functional selectivity for β-arrestin recruitment over G activation was observed for the biphenylcarboxamide (R)-1 and the 2-benzothiophenylcarboxamide (S)-2d, whereas the 2-substituted azaindole (S)-2a preferred β-arrestin recruitment compared to G coupling. © 2013 American Chemical Society.
