Synthesis and SAR of highly potent and selective dopamine D3-receptor antagonists: Variations on the 1H-pyrimidin-2-one theme
摘要:
In our efforts to further pursue one of the most selective dopamine D-3-receptor antagonists reported to date, we now describe the synthesis and SAR of novel and highly selective dopamine D-3 antagonists based on a 1H-pyridin-2-one or on a urea scaffold. The most potent compounds exhibited K-i values toward the D-3 receptor in the nano- to subnanomolar range and high selectivity versus the related D-2 dopamine receptor. Thus, 1H-pyridin-2-one 7b displays oral bioavailability (F = 37%) as well as brain penetration (brain plasma ratio 3.7) in rat. Within the urea series, an excellent D-3 versus D-2 selectivity (>100-fold) could be achieved by removal of one NH group (compound 6), although bioavailability (rat) was suboptimal (F < 10%). These data significantly enhance our understanding of the D-3 Pharmacophore and are expected to lead to novel approaches for the treatment of schizophrenia. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
