摘要:
A series of compounds structurally related to aripiprazole (1), an atypical antipsychotic and antidepressant used clinically for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression, have been prepared and evaluated for affinity at D2-like dopamine receptors. These compounds also share structural elements with the classical D2-like dopamine receptor antagonists, haloperidol, N-methylspiperone, domperidone and benperidol. Two new compounds, 7-(4-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl)butoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one oxalate (6) and 7-(4-(4-(2-(2-fluoroethoxy)phenyl)piperazin-1-yl) butoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one oxalate (7) were found to (a) bind to the D-2 receptor subtype with high affinity (K-i values <0.3 nM), (b) exhibit >50-fold D-2 versus D-3 receptor binding selectivity and (c) be partial agonists at both the D-2 and D-3 receptor subtype.
