Isoindolinone enantiomers having affinity for the dopamine D4 receptor

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Jun 16;8(12):1499-502. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00252-2.

Abstract

PD 108635 (1) was identified as a potent dopamine D4 ligand and we wanted to replace the benzylic alcohol with a metabolically more stable moiety. Investigations led to the discovery of a series of isoindolinones having D4 affinity.
