pubmed-article:6617745 | pubmed:abstractText | NCA, the chloro analog of the potent dopamine agonist NPA is an irreversible ligand at dopamine receptors in mammalian brain. The chloroethyl analog of the recently described putative dopamine autoreceptor agonist 3-PPP, 3-PPP-C1, was evaluated for its potential use as an irreversible autoreceptor ligand. N-Chloroethylation of 3-PPP reduced the intrinsic affinity of the agonist seven-fold and, consequently, in contrast to NCA, it was found that 3-PPP-C1 was not a good irreversible ligand at dopamine receptors. | lld:pubmed |
