Abstract: The present invention relates to novel dopamine D2 receptor ligands. The invention further relates to functionally-biased dopamine D2 receptor ligands and the use of these compounds for treating or preventing central nervous system and systemic disorders associated with dysregulation of dopaminergic activity. The present invention relates to novel compounds that modulate dopamine D2 receptors. In particular, compounds of the present invention show functional selectivity at the dopamine D2 receptors and exhibit selectivity downstream of the D2 receptors, on the 0-arrestin pathway and/or on the cAMP pathway.
