title: SAR of novel biarylmethylamine dopamine D4 receptor ligands.
abstract: SAR for a novel series of dopamine D4 receptor ligands is shown. Very selective, highly potent compounds like 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)-4-(3-(3-thienyl)-benzyl)-piperazine (5f) and 2-(4-(1-fluorenylmethyl)-1-piperazinyl)-pyrimidine (8c) were obtained.
