abstract = "Dopamine receptors are divided into two subclasses: D1 like receptors (D1 and D5 subtypes) and D2 like
receptors (D2, D3 and D4) [1]. Based on a general pharmacophore [2] we introduced the pentafluorosulfanyl
moiety (SF5-) group as an interesting pharmacological tool to investigate D2 like receptors. This moiety
displays high electronegativity and lipophilicity, while being thermally stable [3] and more resistant to
hydrolysis in comparison to that of other polyfuorinated moieties (e.g. CF3 or OCF3). Four novel compounds
with SF5 substituent have been synthesized, in silico and in vitro tested in order to examine their affinity
and selectivity towards human dopamine D2 and D3 receptor subtypes. All compounds showed high affinity
in the nanomolar concentration ranges at both receptors with ST 2200 expressing highest selectivity. In
silico examination determined high values of coefficient of determination (R2) and Spearman correlation
coefficient revealed good correlation between in silico parameters and experimentally obtained Ki values.
These results show that pentafluorosulfanyl substituent is a highly suitable moiety for structural variations
that has to be further investigated and could serve as novel substituent in numerous compound classes.",
