Introduction of a putative dopaminergic prodrug moiety into a 6,7-substitution pattern characteristic of certain 2-aminotetralin dopaminergic agonists
摘要:
On the basis of the premise that the dopaminergic agonist profile of 2-(di-n-propylamino)-5-hydroxy-6-methyltetralin (1a) is due to in vivo oxidation of the 6-methyl moiety and that 1a may represent a novel prodrug strategy, the vicinal methyl-hydroxyl substitution pattern was incorporated into the 6- and 7-positions of 2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin to give the 6-methyl-7-hydroxy and 6-hydroxy-7-methyl isomers 8 and 9, respectively. A multistep synthetic approach was devised which permitted preparation of target molecules 8 and 9. Pharmacological data revealed that both target compounds exhibit modest dopamine-like effects in the cardioaccelerator nerve assay in the cat, but neither appeared to be metabolically activated as was the case with 1a. The effects of 9 (but not of 8) were antagonized by pretreatment with haloperidol. Thus, the 5-hydroxy-6-methyl substitution pattern in the 2-aminotetralins remains unique as a dopaminergic agonist prodrug structure.
