Abstract

In an effort to define further the active geometry of the β-phenyldopamine pharmacophore of certain dopamine D1 agonists, the title compounds have been synthesized as conformationally restricted homologues of the potent benzophenanthridine dopamine D1 agonist dihydrexidine 4a. The dihydroxy secondary amine 5b was evaluated as a potential agonist, whereas the N-methyl compounds 5a and 5c were hypothesized to be ...
