N-Phenylalkyl-substituted tropane analogs of boat conformation with high selectivity for the dopamine versus serotonin transporter

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A series of N-phenylalkyl-substituted tropane analogs of boat conformation was synthesized, and these tropanes were evaluated for their ability to inhibit high affinity uptake of dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) into striatal nerve endings (synaptosomes). Some of these compounds exhibit high affinity for the DA transporter with a 5-HT/DA transporter selectivity ratio of >50.
