On the basis of the D1/5-selective dopamine antagonist LE 300 (1), an indolo[3,2-f]benzazecine derivative, we changed the annulation pattern of the heterocycles. The target compounds represent novel heterocyclic ring systems. The most constrained indolo[4,3a,3-ef]benzazecine 2 was inactive, but the indolo[4,3a,3-fg]benzazacycloundecene 3 showed antagonistic properties (functional Ca2+ assay) with nanomolar affinities (radioligand binding) for all dopamine receptor subtypes, whereas the indolo[2,3-f]benzazecine 4 displayed a selectivity profile similar to 3 but with decreased affinities.
