Modification of the partial dopamine type 2 receptor (D(2)) agonist 3-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)phenol (9a) generated a series novel functional D(2) antagonists with fast-off kinetic properties. A representative this series, pridopidine (4-[3-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-1-propylpiperidine; ACR16, 12b), bound competitively low affinity to in vitro, without displaying properties essential for interaction inactive state, thereby allowing receptors rapidly regain responsiveness. In vivo, neurochemical...

Arylation of 1-(methoxycarbonyl)-2,5-dihydropyrrole under standard Heck reaction conditions produces a mixture compounds. The olefin undergoes two types palladium-catalyzed reactions: (a) arylation to provide C-3 arylated derivatives and (b) competing double bond isomerization. Addition silver carbonate thallium acetate fully suppressed the isomerization, good yields substituted compounds were achieved after with aryl halides. With regard triflates as arylating agents, addition lithium...

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a hereditary, incurable neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of frontostriatal integrity.1 Clinically, movement disorder, dementia, and liability for behavioral disturbances psychosis characterize the disorder. It well known that dopaminergic drugs modify some clinical features HD. In this respect, different agonists antagonists function may improve or worsen chorea. Whereas levodopa offer relief from hypokinesia, concomitant worsening...
