Abstract

This paper reports the synthesis and biological activity of a novel series of aryl-morpholine Dopamine Receptor agonists. Several compounds show high levels of functional selectivity for the D3 over the D2 Dopamine Receptor. Compound 26 has >1000-fold functional selectivity and has been successfully progressed in vivo using an intranasal delivery route.
