The synthesis and a preliminary biological characterization of a new class of N-benzyl- aminoalcohols which have serotonin (5-HT2) and dopamine (D2) receptor affinity is described. In vitro competition binding studies were conducted with the new molecules and 3H-spiperone on crude membrane preparation from rat striatum and frontal cortex. One of these compounds, 3-benzylamino-1-(4-fluoro-2-iodophenyl)-propan-1-ol (6f), whose IC50 ...
