Abstract: A solid understanding of the mechanisms governing ligand binding is crucial for rational design of therapeutics targeting the dopamine D2 receptor (D2R). Here, we use G protein-coupled inward rectifier potassium (GIRK) channel activation in Xenopus oocytes to measure the kinetics of D2R antagonism by a series of aripiprazole analogues, as well as the recovery of dopamine (DA) responsivity upon washout. The aripiprazole analogues comprise an orthosteric and a secondary pharmacophore and differ by the length of the saturated carbon linker joining these two pharmacophores. Two compounds containing 3- and 5-carbon linkers allowed for a similar extent of recovery from antagonism in the presence of 1 or 100 μM DA (>25 and >90% of control, respectively), whereas recovery was less prominent (∼20%) upon washout of the 4-carbon linker compound, SV-III-130, both with 1 and 100 μM DA. Prolonging the coincubation time with SV-III-130 further diminished recovery. Curve-shift experiments were consistent with competition between SV-III-130 and DA. Two mutations in the secondary binding pocket (V91A and E95A) of D2R decreased antagonistic potency and increased recovery from SV-III-130 antagonism, whereas a third mutation (L94A) only increased recovery. Our results suggest that the secondary binding pocket influences recovery from inhibition by the studied aripiprazole analogues. We propose a mechanism, supported by in silico modeling, whereby SV-III-130 initially binds reversibly to the D2R, after which the drug-receptor complex undergoes a slow transition to a second ligand-bound state, which is dependent on secondary binding pocket integrity and irreversible during the time frame of our experiments.
