Abstract: The synthesis of a series of 4-(6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl)methyl-2-arylbenzofuran and 4-(6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl)methylbenzofuran-2-carboxamide derivatives as novel alpha(2C)-adrenergic receptor antagonists are described. Their affinity at three different human alpha(2)-adrenergic receptors is reported, and some of these compounds exhibited high affinity for the alpha(2C)-adrenergic receptor with high subtype selectivity. Among them, compound 10e has been found to show the anti-L-dopa-induced dyskinetic activity in marmosets. The structure-activity relationship of these compounds is also discussed.
