A pharmacological screening was carried out at dopamine D(2) and D(3) receptors. In the preliminary testing various ligands have shown moderate to high affinities for dopamine D(3)receptors, for example, N-(4-{4-[benzyl(phenyl)amino]piperidin-1-yl}butylnaphthalen-2-carboxamide (19a) (hD(3)K(i)=0.3nM; hD(2)K(i)=703nM), leading to a selectivity ratio of 2343. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
