A series of 35 stereochemically well-defined C,-methyl-substituted derivatives of the potent dopamine (DA) receptor agonist 5-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (5-OH-DPAT) have been synthesized. The compounds were tested for central DA receptor agonistic and antagonistic activity, by use of biochemical and behavioral tests in rats. In addition, the compounds were tested for in vivo interactions with 5, 6-dihydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) ...
