The title compounds were designed to provide semirigid congeners of m-tyramine in which the ring position ortho to the phenolic OH is blocked to metabolic hydroxylation. A sequence leading to a key synthetic intermediate, 5-methoxy-6-methyl-2-tetralone, has been developed. In animal test models for dopamine-like effects, the title compounds demonstrated qualitative and quantitative differences from the isomeric 5-methyl-6-hydroxy-2-aminotetralins and from 5,6-dihydroxy-2-aminotetralins. Two of the compounds were potent in a cat cardioaccelerator nerve assay, which involves dopamine receptors.

The present invention provides heterocyclic compounds of formula (I) that modulate biological metals and to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds. The invention particularly relates to compounds that modulate iron and to compounds for the treatment of diseases, particularly neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Alzheimer-type dementia, Huntington's disease (HD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA).
