A series of dopamine D4 antagonists was synthesized and evaluated as potential candidates for development as positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands. All new compounds display high affinity and selectivity for the D4 receptors and compounds 5b, 5d, and 5e were identified as candidates for radioligand development.
Pyrrolo-pyridine derivatives

A class of pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives, substituted at the 3-position by a substituted piperazinylmethyl moiety, are antagonists of dopamine receptor subtypes within the brain, having a selective affinity for the dopamine D 4 receptor subtype over other dopamine receptor subtypes, and are accordingly of benefit in the treatment and/or prevention of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia while manifesting fewer side-effects than those associated with classical neuroleptic drugs.
