The synthesis of 2-amino- and 2-halo-substituted aporphines is described. The key step is the substitution of a hydroxy group in the 2-position with an amino group effected by a Smiles rearrangement reaction of the 2-methylpropanamide derivative 6. The affinity of the new compounds for the dopamine D-2 receptor in the anterior pituitary gland was evaluated. 2-Fluoroapomorphine was the most potent compound, being 1.5 times more potent than (-)-apomorphine. The structure-activity relationships are discussed in relation to a previously proposed receptor model.

Described is a new class of small molecule inhibitors of amyloid &bgr; protein (A&bgr;) aggregation, based on apomorphine. These molecules target the nucleation phase of A&bgr; self-assembly and interfere effectively with aggregation of A&bgr; 1-40 into amyloid fibrils in vitro as determined by transmission electron microscopy, Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence, and velocity sedimentation. Structure-activity studies using apomorphine analogues demonstrate that 10,11-dihydroxy substitutions of the D ring are preferred for the inhibitory effectiveness of these aporphines, and that methylation of these hydroxyl groups reduces their inhibitory potency. The ability of these small molecules to inhibit A&bgr; amyloid fibril formation appears to be linked to their ability to undergo auto-oxidation in solution, implicating an auto-oxidation product as the active A&bgr; inhibitor. Sedimentation velocity and electron microscopy studies demonstrate that apomorphine and analogues facilitate oligomerization of A&bgr; into short nonfibrillar soluble assemblies, but inhibit A&bgr; fibrillization.

Described is a new class of small molecule inhibitors of amyloid β protein (Aβ) aggregation, based on apomorphine.

evaluated pharmacologically in vitro in comparison with (-)-apomorphine [(-)-APO] and dopamine by competition with tritiated apomorphine, ADTN, and spiroperidol for binding to a membrane fraction of calf caudate nucleus, as well as for ability to stimulate adenylate cyclase. In all four tests, the rank order of potency was (-)-APO greater than (-)-THA much greater than (+)-THA. Thus, these results extend
