Synthesis and transporter binding properties of (R)-2 beta, 3 beta- and (R)-2 alpha, 3 alpha-diaryltropanes

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Dec 15;8(24):3689-92. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00673-8.

Abstract

(R)-2-Aryl-2-tropinone (9) was synthesized from (R)-2-carbomethoxy-3-tropinone (5) and was used as the key intermediate for the synthesis of (R)-2 beta, 3 beta- and (R)-2 alpha, 3 alpha-diaryltropanes. Inhibition of radioligand binding studies at the dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine transporters showed that the (R)-3 beta-(4-methylphenyl)-2 beta-phenyltropane (3b, RTI-422) possessed an IC50 value of 1.96 nM at the dopamine transporter and was highly selective for this transporter relative to the serotonin and norepinephrine transporters.
