N-8-Substituted benztropinamine analogs as selective dopamine transporter ligands

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Dec 15;15(24):5419-23. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.08.111. Epub 2005 Oct 6.

Abstract

A series of N-8-substituted benztropinamines was synthesized and evaluated for binding at the dopamine (DAT), serotonin (SERT), norepinephrine (NET) transporters, and muscarinic M1 receptors. In general, the isosteric replacement of the C-3 benzhydrol ether of benztropine by a benzhydryl amino group was well tolerated at the DAT. However, for certain N-8 substituted derivatives, selectivity over muscarinic M1 receptor affinity was reduced.
