A series of novel 2-[( 4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl) methyl] imidazoazines and aza-analogues were prepared and screened at selected dopamine, serotonin, and adrenergic receptor subtypes. 2- Substituted imidazopyridines and pyridazines presented high affinities and selectivities for D-4 dopamine receptors. Whereas functional experiments indicated neutral antagonists or weak partial agonist effects for most of the target compounds, the 2- methoxyphenyl substituted 2-piperazinylmethylimidazopyridine 3c ( PIP3EA) displayed substantial agonist efficacy in mitogenesis experiments and GTP gamma S binding tests, resulting in EC50 values of 3.0 ( 46%) and 4.5 nM ( 57%), respectively. Our D-4 agonist 3c induced penile erection in vivo when administered to rats. This effect was inhibited by L-745,870 a D-4 selective antagonist, confirming the mechanistic pathway.
