The synthesis of several bioisosteric analogs based on the 3-OH-N1-phenylpiperazine dopamine D2 agonist template (ie, 4) is described. The indolone (5) and 2-CF3- benzimidazole (13) were observed to have excellent affinity for the D2 receptor. Several D4 selective compounds were also identified. Molecular modeling studies and a putative bioactive conformation are discussed.
