D. Bolton et al., NOVEL 2,5-DISUBSTITUTED-1H-PYRROLES WITH HIGH-AFFINITY FOR THE DOPAMINE D-3 RECEPTOR, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 6(11), 1996, pp. 1233-1236
A series of 2,5-disubstituted-1H-pyrroles (4-18) has been prepared bas
ed on replacement of the amide of sultopride 1 by a pyrrole ring. Subs
equent modification of the basic side chain gave compounds with high a
ffinity for the dopamine D-3 receptor. In addition, 12 and 17 were sho
wn to be D-3 antagonists with 30-fold selectivity for the D-3 receptor
over the D-2 receptor. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
