Summary

Molecular graphic design coupled with PCILO and crystallographic results have been used to investigate the three-dimensional structure of Tropapride, Piquindone, Zetidoline, and Metoclopramide, four dopamine D-2 receptor antagonists showing Na+-dependent binding. Three putative pharmacophoric elements, a nitrogen lone pair, a phenyl ring and a carbonyl moiety, are similarly oriented in all the Na+-dependent drugs. Conversely, for Na+-independent analogs, the two latter pharmacophoric elements play a subordinate role, but two Π-electron regions are systematically localized on the other side of the molecule: the first is a phenyl group while the second is a carbonyl function as in butyrophenones, a cyano group as in R48455, or a phenyl ring as in diphenylbutylpiperidines or tricyclics. The presence of a benzyl ring on this side in Tropapride might explain its weak extrapyramidal effects.
