A series of [(phenylpiperazinyl)alkyl]-isoindole-1,3-dione derivatives was synthesized to serve as probes for dopaminergic receptors. Among this series, compound 6a showed the highest affinity towards D4 and D3 receptors with Ki values in the low nanomolar range, and D2/D4- and D2/D3-selectivity indices of 72 and 20, respectively. Optimization rounds were adopted and led to the D4-selective ligand thiophene-2-carboxamide 9a with a Ki (D4) value of 0.62 nM, and to its butyl analog, 10a, with Ki (D4) and Ki (D3) values of 0.03 and 0.26 nM, respectively. Docking experiments revealed the importance of the unique D4 residue Arg186 in manipulating the ligands' D4-subtype-receptor selectivity.
合成了一系列[(苯哌嗪基)烷基]-异吲哚-1,3-二酮衍生物,用作多巴胺受体探针。在这一系列中,化合物 6a 对 D4 和 D3 受体表现出最高的亲和力,Ki 值在纳摩尔范围内,D2/D4-和 D2/D3-选择性指数分别为 72 和 20。经过优化循环,得到了 D4 选择性配体噻吩-2-甲酰胺 9a,其 Ki(D4)值为 0.62 nM,以及其丁基类似物 10a,其 Ki(D4)和 Ki(D3)值分别为 0.03 和 0.26 nM。对接实验揭示了独特的 D4 残基 Arg186 在操纵配体的 D4-亚型受体选择性方面的重要性。
