Since the identification of the dopamine D(4) receptor subtype and speculations about its possible involvement in schizophrenia, much work has been put into development of selective D(4) ligands. These selective ligands may be effective antipsychotics without extrapyramidal side effects. This work describes the synthesis of a new series of 2,4-disubstituted morpholines and 2,4-disubstituted 1,4-oxazepanes with selectivity for the dopamine D(4) receptor. A 3D-QSAR analysis using the GRID/GOLPE methodology was performed with the purpose to get a better understanding of the relationship between chemical structure and biological activity. Inspection of the coefficient plots allowed us to identify that regions which are important for affinity are situated around the two benzene ring systems, a p-chlorobenzyl group, and the aliphatic amine belonging to the morpholine or 1,4-oxazepane system. In addition, the size of the morpholine or 1,4-oxazepane ring seems to be important for affinity.
