GPCR‐focused compound libraries were designed by strategic iterative virtual screening. The most potent ligands yielded K i values of 65 n M at the dopamine D 3 receptor subtype. Two potential binding modes were observed for receptor antagonists in a homology‐based model of the dopamine D 3 receptor. Results demonstrate opportunities for a combination of different virtual screening methods in early stages of GPCR drug discovery for new lead finding.
