Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter in the human brain and its altered concentrations can lead to various neurological diseases. We studied the binding of novel compounds at the dopamine D2 (D2R) and D3 (D3/sub

We recently reported molecules designed according to the multitarget-directed ligand paradigm to exert combined activity at human fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and dopamine receptor subtype D3 (D3R). Both targets are relevant for tackling several types of addiction (most notably nicotine addiction) and other compulsive behaviors. Here, we report an SAR exploration of a series of biphenyl-N-[4-[4-(2,3-substituted-phenyl)piperazine-1-yl]alkyl]carbamates, a novel class of molecules that had shown promising activities at the FAAH-D3R target combination in preliminary studies. We have rationalized the structural features conducive to activities at the main targets and investigated activities at two off-targets: dopamine receptor subtype D2 and endocannabinoid receptor CB1. To understand the unexpected affinity for the CB1 receptor, we devised a 3D-QSAR model, which we then prospectively validated. Compound 33 was selected for PK studies because it displayed balanced affinities for the main targets and clear selectivity over the two off-targets. 33 has good stability and oral bioavailability and can cross the blood-brain barrier.

α1-Adrenoceptors (α1-ARs), including at least three subtypes, α1A, α1B and α1D, which play essential roles in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), can convey multiple pivotal extracellular signals in varied tissues and organs. In this research, a series of napthalimide-based small-molecule fluorescent probes (1a–1f) for α1-ARs, including two parts, a pharmacophore (quinazoline and phenylpiperazine) for α1-AR recognition and a fluorophore (naphthalimide) for visualization, were designed and synthesized successfully. These compounds display excellent fluorescence property and high affinity to receptors, which were used successfully for in vitro visualization of α1-adrenoceptors.
