A series of beta-alkoxy-substituted phenethylamines were synthesized and tested for their affinity at the D-1 and D-2 dopaminergic receptors and the alpha(1) and alpha(2) adrenoceptors. None of the tested compounds exhibited D-2 receptor affinity. Among the nonhydroxylated compounds that were resolved to their antipodes, the (-)-enantiomers generally showed a moderate but distinct activity at the alpha(2) receptor. Ring hydroxylation appears to be a necessary requirement for D-1, activity. These results are discussed in terms of the structural elements of the tested drugs as compared to those of known active compounds.
