The trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy (TfO) analogues 3 and 4 of 8-chloro-11-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-5H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepine (clozapine, 1) and its 2-chloro isomer (iso-clozapine, 2), respectively, were synthesized via their OMe and OH analogues with the conventional synthetic method of the tricyclic dibenzodiazepines and evaluated pharmacologically along with their parent drugs. The binding profile of the 2-OTf analogue (4) is comparable to the binding profile of 1, although the affinity for the dopamine (DA) D2 receptors is higher (IC50 values are 31 nM and 330 nM for compounds 4 and 1, respectively). Interestingly, no notable affinity for muscarinic receptors could be detected in compound 4. On the contrary, the 8-OTf analogue 3 only displayed affinity for muscarinic M1 receptors (IC50 value 35 nM) and no affinity (IC50 value > 500 nM) for the other receptors tested. The 10 mumol/kg sc dose, but not the 10 mumol/kg po dose, of compound 4 stimulated the output of DA. Increases of 80% and 35% in DOPAC output from the dorsal striatum were seen after sc and po administrations of 10 mumol/kg of compound 4, respectively. Doses up to 100 mumol/kg of compound 3 had no effect on either parameter. Doses up to 100 mumol/kg of compound 4 were not cataleptogenic, but significantly decreased apomorphine-induced locomotor activity. In conclusion, compound 4 (GMC1-169) is a new clozapine-like neuroleptic candidate, which is lacking anticholinergic properties and displays a higher potency, as compared to clozapine (1) itself.
