3-Chlorotyramine acting as ligand of the D2 dopamine receptor. Molecular modeling, synthesis and D2 receptor affinity

We synthesized and tested 3-chlorotyramine as a ligand of the D2 dopamine receptor. This compound displayed a similar affinity by this receptor to that previously reported for dopamine. In order to understand further the experimental results we performed a molecular modeling study of 3-chlorotyramin...
