Synthesis and evaluation of 3-aryl piperidine analogs as potent and efficacious dopamine D4 receptor agonists

Bioorg Med Chem. 2005 Aug 1;13(15):4667-78. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2005.04.060.

Abstract

A series of 3-aryl piperidine analogs with 2-piperidinoalkylamino or 2-piperidinoalkyloxy fused bicyclic rings were prepared and found to be potent and efficacious human dopamine D4 agonists. The synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies that led to the identification of these compounds are discussed.
