Abstract

Computational studies based on the similarity of molecular electrostatic potential maps initiated the synthesis of the tricyclic target compounds 1 (FAUC 725) and 2. Receptor binding studies at the dopamine receptor subtypes D1, D2long, D2short, D3 and D4 showed that the azaindole 1 revealed D3 affinity (Ki=0.54 nM) comparable to the lead pramipexole and enhanced selectivity over D2 and D4. Mitogenesis experiments indicated substantial intrinsic activity for the D3 selective dipropylamine 1. Based on the structure of (S)-3-PPP, bioisosteric replacement and conformational restriction leading to the test compound 2 was not fruitful. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
