Abstract:
:This paper describes an extended structure-activity relationships study of aminotetralin-piperazine-based hybrid molecules developed earlier for dopamine D2/D3 receptors. Various analogues as positional isomers have been developed where location of the phenolic hydroxyl group has been varied on the aromatic ring. Between two catechol derivatives, compound 6e with a two methylene linker length exhibited higher affinity and selectivity for D3 over D2 receptors over compound 6f with four methylene linkers (D2/D3 = 50.6 vs 7.51 for 6e and 6f, respectively). In general, the (-)-isomer was more potent than the (+)-isomeric counterpart. Binding results indicated highest selectivity for D3 receptors in compound (-)- 10 ( K i = 0.35 nM; D2/D3 = 71). In the 5-hydroxy series, highest selectivity for D3 receptors was exhibited by compound (-)- 25 ( K i = 0.82 nM; D2/D3 = 31.5). Most potent compounds exhibited binding and functional affinities at the sub-nanomolar level for the D3 receptor. Binding assays were carried out with HEK-293 cells expressing either D2 or D3 receptors by using tritiated spiperone as radioligand for competition studies to evaluate inhibition constants ( K i). A functional assay of selected compounds for stimulating GTPgammaS binding was carried out with CHO cells expressing human D2 receptors and AtT-20 cells expressing human D3 receptors. The functional assay results indicated partial to full agonist characteristics of test compounds. Compound (-)- 25 was selected further for in vivo study to evaluate its potency in producing contralateral rotations in rats with unilateral lesion in the nigrostriatal region induced by neurotoxin 6-OHDA, a Parkinsonian animal model. Compound (-)- 25 at 5 micromol/kg exhibited rotational activity that lasted beyond 12 h, whereas at a 1 micromol/kg dose the rotations lasted beyond 8 h.
