Synthesis and pharmacology of 6-substituted benztropines: discovery of novel dopamine uptake inhibitors possessing low binding affinity to the dopamine transporter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of 6alpha- and 6beta-substituted benztropines were synthesized. A marked enantioselectivity was observed for the 6beta-methoxylated benztropines, the (1R)-isomers being more potent than the corresponding (1S) compounds. The racemic 6alpha-methoxy-3-(4',4' '-difluorodiphenylmethoxy)tropane (5 g) was the most potent compound. It has been found that modifications at the 6-position of benztropine might reduce the DAT binding affinity, maintaining otherwise a significant dopamine uptake inhibitory activity. A reinvestigation of the absolute configuration of 6beta-methoxytropinone proved the 6R configuration for the (+)-enantiomer.

Dissociation of high-affinity cocaine analog binding and dopamine uptake inhibition at the dopamine transporter.
Cocaine initiates its euphoric effects by binding to the dopamine transporter (DAT), blocking uptake of synaptic dopamine. It has been hypothesized that the DAT transmembrane aspartic acid residue D79 forms an ionic interaction with charged nitrogen atoms in both dopamine and cocaine. We examined the consequences of novel and previously studied mutations of the D79 residue on DAT uptake of [3H]...
متن کاملN-methyl amine-substituted fluoxetine derivatives: new dopamine transporter inhibitors.
Transport of dopamine (DA) by the dopamine transporter from the synaptic cleft into the presynaptic terminals plays a key role in terminating dopaminergic neurotransmission. The binding of psychostimulants to their recognition sites on the DA transporter leads to an inhibition of DA transport and a subsequent rising of the dopamine contents in the synaptic cleft is ascribed to a mode of psychos...
متن کاملPharmacophore-based discovery of substituted pyridines as novel dopamine transporter inhibitors.
Abnormal dopamine signaling in brain has been implicated in several conditions such as cocaine abuse, Parkinson's disease and depression. Potent and selective dopamine transporter inhibitors may be useful as pharmacological tools and therapeutic agents. Simple substituted pyridines were discovered as novel dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitors through pharmacophore-based 3D-database search. The...
متن کاملUptake inhibitors but not substrates induce protease resistance in extracellular loop two of the dopamine transporter.
Changes in protease sensitivity of extracellular loop two (EL2) of the dopamine transporter (DAT) during inhibitor and substrate binding were examined using trypsin proteolysis and epitope-specific immunoblotting. In control rat striatal membranes, proteolysis of DAT in a restricted region of EL2 was produced by 0.001 to 10 microg/ml trypsin. However, in the presence of the dopamine uptake bloc...
متن کاملThe vesicular monoamine transporter-2: an important pharmacological target for the discovery of novel therapeutics to treat methamphetamine abuse.
Methamphetamine abuse escalates, but no approved therapeutics are available to treat addicted individuals. Methamphetamine increases extracellular dopamine in reward-relevant pathways by interacting at vesicular monoamine transporter-2 (VMAT2) to inhibit dopamine uptake and promote dopamine release from synaptic vesicles, increasing cytosolic dopamine available for reverse transport by the dopa...
