The enantiomers (6afi and 6aS) of 2, 10, 11-trihydroxyaporphine (TEA) were synthesized from thebaine and bul-bocapnine and evaluated pharmacologically in vitro in comparison with (-)-apomorphine [(-)-APO] and dopamine by competitionwith tritiated apomorphine, ADTN, and spiroperidolfor binding to a membrane fractionof calf caudate nucleus, as well as for ability to stimulate adenylate cyclase. In all four tests, the rank order of potency was (-)-APO>(-)-THA»(+)-THA. Thus, these results extend the impression that the 6afi configuration for hydroxyaporphines is preferred for interactions with putative dopamine receptors and that 2-hydroxylation reduces potency in comparison with 10, 11-dihydroxyaporphinesSince the discovery of therapeuticallyuseful dopamine (DA) agonist activity in hydroxylatedaporphine derivatives, such as apomorphine, 3** considerable interest has developed in delineating the portions of the aporphine molecular structure responsible for dopaminergic prop-erties and the interactions with DA receptors. 4, 5 The process of drug design could be considerably improved if receptors and their mode of interaction with active substances were known in precise molecular detail. Such information could then be used to design conformationally defined structures in which pharmacophoric groups are oriented in the appropriate spatial arrangement for optimal receptor interaction. Since DA is an achiral and conformationally flexible molecule, little information concerning interactions with DA receptors can be obtained with this neurotransmitter. Apomorphine [(-)-!,(-)-APO], the enantiomer obtained by the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of morphine, was reported by Saari et al. 6 to be the active enantiomer for dopaminergic and emetic activity. The S (+) enantiomer of apomorphine was shown to be inactive in producing postural asymmetries in unilaterally cau-date-lesioned mice. 6 Despite the complexities of inter-actions of apomorphine with presumed DA receptors and the status of apomorphine as a possible partial agonist or mixed agonist/antagonist in DA systems, including those in the central nervous system, 7" 10 the apomorphine molecule has served as a good starting point for the study of DA receptor interactions.
