Abstract

Abstract A novel class of isochroman dopamine analogues, originally reported by Abbott Laboratories, have> 100-fold selectivity for D 1-like over D 2-like receptors. We synthesized a parallel series of chroman compounds and showed that repositioning the oxygen atom in the heterocyclic ring decreases potency and confers D 2-like receptor selectivity to these compounds. In silico modeling supports the hypothesis that the altered pharmacology for ...
