Popis: Starting from β-benzoylpropionic acid we synthesized 3-(aminomethyl)tetralones in which the amino substituent was 4-(N-piperazinyl)-p-fluorobutyrophenone (14), 4-benzoylpiperidine (15), 4-hydroxy-4-phenylpiperidine (16) or 4-(o-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (17). The possible dopamine antagonist activity of these compounds was investigated in both >in vitro> and >in vivo> experiments. These compounds potently inhibited [3H]spiperone binding to D2 striatal receptors and moderately inhibited [3H]SCH-23390 binding to D1 striatal receptors (Kis in the nanomolar and micromolar ranges, respectively). Apomorphine-induced stereotypies and amphetamine group toxicity were antagonized, to different extents, by the compounds under study, with a potency similar to that of haloperidol. Interestingly, no catalepsy was observed after administration of the new compounds (2-8 mg/kg). The most active compounds >in vivo> 14 and 15 possessed two butyrophenone pharmacophores. However, the tetralone moiety appeared not critical for their antidopaminergic activity, since all target compounds were less active than haloperidol. These studies provide a pharmacological basis for future research on these new compounds devoid of cataleptogenic activity. © 1991 American Chemical Society.
