The pyridine analogs of 5-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (5-OH-DPAT), 4-6, were synthesized, and their biological activity was compared to that of 5-OH-DPAT. Compounds 4 and 6 exhibited activity similar to 5-OH-DPAT in dopamine (DA) D2 and D3 receptor binding and in autoreceptor activation as measured by their ability to reverse the gamma-butyrolactone-induced increase in rat DA synthesis. Behaviorally, 4 and 6 decreased locomotor activity (LMA) in rats (sc) at low doses but did not increase LMA to the same extent as 5-OH-DPAT at higher doses, indicating that 4 and 6 may be more selective for the DA autoreceptor. While 4 was less active orally in rats, 6 appeared to retain most of its behavioral potency. Analog 5 showed little activity in vivo or in vitro.
