Loss of dopamine neurons is central to the manifestation of Parkinson's disease motor symptoms. The dopamine precursor L-DOPA, the most commonly used therapeutic agent for Parkinson's disease, can restore normal movement yet cause side-effects such as dyskinesias upon prolonged administration. Dopamine D1 and D2 receptors activate G-protein- A nd arrestin-dependent signaling pathways that regulate various dopamine-dependent functions including locomotion. Studies have shown that shifting the balance of dopamine receptor signaling toward the arrestin pathway can be beneficial for inducing normal movement, while reducing dyskinesias. However, simultaneous activation of both D1 and D2Rs is required for robust locomotor activity. Thus, it is desirable to develop ligands targeting both D1 and D2Rs and their functional selectivity. Here, we report structure-functional-selectivity relationship (SFSR) studies of novel apomorphine analogs to identify structural motifs responsible for biased activity at both D1 and D2Rs.

Efficient preparations of (R)-(-)-apomorphine (R)-1 and (R)-(-)-aporphine (R)-2 based on a recycle process of resolution are described. In this recycle process of resolution, (RS)-(±)-10,11-dimethoxyaporphine 3 as the precursor of 1, and (RS)-(±)-aporphine 2 were successfully resolved into both enantiomers with (+)-dibenzoyltartaric acid (DBTA). The desired (R)-3 and (R)-2 were obtained and then, respectively, transformed to compound (R)-1, the hydrochloride salt of (R)-1, diacetate compound 4 and the hydrochloride salt of (R)-2; while the undesired (S)-3 and (S)-2 were racemized to obtain a racemate, which was suitable for further resolution. A method for the racemization of the undesired (S)-3 and (S)-2 was extensively studied, in order to obtain high-yielding racemization conditions. A plausible mechanism for the racemization of (S)-3 and (S)-2 was also proposed.
