A series of 2-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-epoxynaphthalenes were synthesized and tested for affinity for dopaminergic and alpha-adrenergic receptor subtypes via radioligand binding assays. The unsubstituted analogue 2a showed weak affinity for both D1 and alpha2-adrenoceptors. This compound exhibited subtype selectivity in both dopaminergic and alpha adrenergic systems. Analogue 5 showed affinity only for the D1-receptor. Most other analogues showed no affinity for either receptor at concentrations up to 10 muM. Functional studies showed compound 2a to be an alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist, and confirmed its alpha2-adrenoceptor selectivity predicted by the radioligand binding assay.
