The novel, potential antipsychotic, S33138 (N-[4-[2-[(3aS,9bR)-8-cyano-1,3a,4,9b-tetrahydro[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyrrol-2(3H)-yl)-ethyl]phenyl acetamide), displayed
25-fold higher affinity at human (h) dopamine D3 versus hD2L (long isoform) and hD2S (short isoform) receptors: pKi values, 8.7, 7.1 and 7.3, respectively. Conversely, haloperidol, clozapine, olanzapine, risperidone and other clinically-available antipsychotics displayed similar affinities for hD3 versus hD2L and hD2S sites. In [35S]GTP
S filtration assays at hD3 receptors, S33138 showed potent, pure and competitive antagonist properties against dopamine with pKB and pA2 (Schild) values of 8.9 and 8.7, respectively: higher concentrations were required to block hD2L and hD2S receptors. The preferential antagonist properties of S33138 at hD3 vs hD2L receptors were underpinned in antibody-capture/scintillation-proximity (SPA) assays of G
i3 recruitment and in measures of extracellular-regulated-kinase phosphorylation. In addition, in cells co-transfected with hD3 and hD2L receptors that assemble into heterodimers, S33138 blocked (pKB, 8.5) the inhibitory influence of quinpirole upon forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation. S33138 had low affinity for hD4 receptors (<5.0) but revealed modest antagonist activity at hD1 receptors (G
s/SPA, pKB, 6.3) and hD5 sites (adenylyl cyclase, 6.5). Modest antagonist properties were also seen at h5-HT2A receptors (G
q/SPA, pKB, 6.8 and inositol formation, 6.9) and at 5-HT7 receptors (adenylyl cyclase, pKB, 7.1). In addition, S33138 antagonised h
2C-adrenoceptors ([35S]GTP
S, 7.2; G
i3/SPA, 6.9; G
o/SPA, 7.3 and extracellular-regulated-kinase, 7.1) but neither h
2A nor h
2B-adrenoceptors (<5.0). Finally, S33138 displayed only low affinities for multiple subtypes of
1 adrenoceptor, muscarinic and histamine receptor. In conclusion, S33138 possesses a distinctive receptor-binding profile and behaves, in contrast to clinically-available antipsychotics, as a preferential antagonist at hD3 vs hD2 receptors.
