Zusammenfassung: | cis-1,2,3a,4,5,9b-Hexahydro-3H-benz[e]indoles were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro dopamine D1 and D2 receptor binding affinity. The target compounds 21-25 were readily prepared by reduction of the air-sensitive tricyclic enamines 10-14. Reduction of 10-14 with sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, palladium on carbon in ethanol, and platinum oxide in ethanol or acetic acid gave only the cis(3a,9b) 1,2,3a,4,5,9b-hexahydro-3H-benz[e]indoles. The stereochemistry was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In the 6-hydroxy series, the binding affinity at D1 and D2 receptors was of the order 22 (W-n-butyl) >21 (N-n-propyl) >23 (N-H). The compounds demonstrated greater binding affinity at D2 receptors than at D1 binding sites. In contrast, 8-OH derivatives exhibited affinity only for D2 receptors, with 25 (N-n-butyl) having slightly greater affinity than 24 (N-n-propyl). |
