1-Phenyl-3-(aminomethyl)pyrroles as potential antipsychotic agents. Synthesis and dopamine receptor binding

J Med Chem. 1995 Dec 8;38(25):4950-2. doi: 10.1021/jm00025a013.

Abstract

A series of 1-phenyl-3-(aminomethyl)pyrroles were prepared in two steps from aniline and their affinities for D2, D3, and D4 dopamine receptor subtypes determined. A 15-fold selectivity for cloned human D4 receptors over cloned African Green monkey D2 receptors was observed with 1-(2-pyridyl)-4-[[3-(1-phenylpyrrolyl)]methyl]piperazine.
