“…Although compound 2 contains an aromatic group, it lacks affinity to the DA receptors. This shows that the position of the aromatic ring is also very important, and is in agreement with the suggestion that a distance equivalent to the spacing of two methylene groups in an extended conformation between the phenyl ring and amino group of DA is determinant for dopaminergic activity (21). However, in view of our results and the previous considerations, it is difficult to say whether the presence of the aromatic ring is needed because of sterical requirements or, rather because of electrostatic interactions.…”

“…These drugs interact with D2 dopamine receptors and there is interest in them as potential antipsychotic and anti-Parkinsonian drugs. Like many other drugs, the potency of the 2-aminotetralin derivatives as central nervous system active agents is directly related to their absolute stereochemistry (and conformation) (2,3), which necessitates the preparation of pure enantiomers of the drugs in question. In most instances pure enantiomers have been obtained by resolution of racemic mixtures but the parent compound, (R )-( + )-2-amino-6,7-dihydroxy-l,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (ADTN), has been recently prepared by a chiral pool synthesis starting from (R)-N-(trifluoroacety1)aspartic anhydride (4).…”

“…The different behaviour of dopamine vs norepinephrine and epinephrine 30 min after the cold test observed in our controls suggests that circulating dopamine has a role of its own and does not represent a mere reserve for circulating norepinephrine and epinephrine (27); in accord with this, we saw no correlation between the levels of dopamine and those of norepinephrine and epinephrine. Since dopamine has been hypothesized to be involved in vasodilatation (31,32), it is tempting to speculate that circulating dopamine might be a physiological mediator for post-ischaemic vasodilatation. However, because of the variable dopamine increase in controls during the recovery phase, the physiological importance of the small but significantly different dopamine behaviour between patients and controls, which we found in the recovery phase, is still unclear.…”
