The 7,8-dihydroxy-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepines form a series of compounds having a high affinity at the D1 dopamine receptor.The 6-chloro derivative has been previously shown to have enhanced affinity, selectivity, and agonist activity.In an attempt to study the effect of substitution of a 6-bromo group in place of the 6-chloro, we hawe synthesized a series of compounds and evaluaed them for their affinity for the D1 receptor.The results show that the 6-bromo derivatives have virtually identical affinities to their 6-chloro counterparts, a findingsimilar to that found in the D1 antagonist 7-halo-8-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine series.From the present work, 3-allyl-6-bromo-7,8-dihydroxy-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine (6-Br-APB) has been identified as a suitable candidate for further in vivo studies and resolution into its active and inactive enantiomers.
