The hydroxy-hexanydronaphthoxazines: a new group of very potent and selective dopamine agonists

Abstract

Replacement of the pyrrole ring system in the dopaminergic oxaergolines (e.g. RU 29717) by a phenolic OH group leads to the hydroxy-hexahydronaphthoxazines, a new group of potent dopamine agonists which exhibit increased selectivity due to their lower affinity for adrenergic and 5-HT receptors.
