- Synthesis and binding profile of haloperidol-based bivalent ligands targeting dopamine D2-like receptors
-
Homodimers of dopamine D2-like receptors are suggested to be of particular importance in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and, thus, serve as promising targets for the discovery of atypical antipsychotics. This study describes the development of a series of novel bivalent molecules with a pharmacophore derived from the dopamine receptor antagonist haloperidol. These dimers were investigated in comparison to their monomeric analogues for their D2long, D2short, D3, and D4 receptor binding and the ability to bridge two neighboring receptor protomers. Radioligand binding studies provided diagnostic insights when Hill slopes close to two for the bivalent ligand 13 incorporating 22 spacer atoms and a comparative analysis with monovalent control ligands indicated a bivalent binding mode with a simultaneous occupancy of two neighboring binding sites.

Butyrophenone derivatives having excellent psychotropic activity and represented by the formula, SPC1 Wherein A represents a single or double bond linkage; R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a C1 - C4 alkyl group; R2, which is present only in case A represents a single bond linkage, represents a hydrogen atom, or a hydroxyl, C1 - C4 alkyl, or C1 - C4 alkoxy group; R3 represents a hydrogen atom, or a piperidino, pyrrolidino, morpholino, furyl, thienyl, C1 - C4 alkylamino, benzylamino, unsubstituted or halogen-substituted phenyl group, etc.; and X represents a hydrogen or halogen atom, or a C1 - C4 alkyl, C1 - C4 alkoxy, or trifluoromethyl group, can be prepared by reducing a benzoylpropionamide derivative of the formula, SPC2 Wherein A, R1, R2, R3 and X have the same meanings as defined above, to a phenylbutanol derivative of the formula, SPC3
