title: Interaction of some 2-hydroxybenzylpiperidines with dopamine receptors.
abstract: Some N-alkyl derivatives of 2-(3-hydroxybenzyl)piperidine and of 2-(3,4-dihydroxybezyl)piperidine were synthesized and evaluated pharmacologically in vitro by competition with [3H]spiperone for binding to a homogenized rat striatal tissue, and for ability to stimulate adenylate cyclase. The N-methyl-2-(3,4-dihydroxybenzyl)piperidine shows a fairly good affinity for the D-2 dopamine receptor. The N-alkyl 2-(3,4-dihydroxybenzyl)piperidines produce a faible stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity.
