Computationalstudies 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, D2(long), D2(short), D3 and D4 showed that the azaindole 1 revealed D3 affinity (K(i)=0.54 nM) comparable to the lead pramipexole and enhanced selectivity over D2 and D4.
