Abstract

Several labile, lipophilic analogs of a-methyldopamine were synthesized and evaluated pharmacologically for dopamine-receptor activation and potential anti-Parkinson activity. The compounds were synthesized by selective 0-acetylation and N-alkylation procedures. Compound 10 showed dopamine-receptor stimulating properties and was able to antagonize oxotremorine-induced inhibition of motor activity. These findings are ...
