We have discovered high-affinity antagonists (exemplified by 11 and 12) that are the most
selective for α1d-adrenergic receptors (α1d-AR) reported to date. In cloned receptor assay systems,
12 displays at least 95-fold selectivity for the α1d-AR over all other G-protein-coupled receptors
tested, and the subtype selectivity of 11 was confirmed in pharmacologically defined isolated
tissue preparations.
