Structural modification of a virtual screening hit led to the identification of a new series of 4-[3-aryl-2,2-dioxido-2,1,3-benzothiadiazol-1(3H)-yl]-1-(methylamino)butan-2-ols which are potent and selective inhibitors of the norepinephrine transporter over both the serotonin and dopamine transporters. One representative compound S-17b (WYE-103231) had low nanomolar hNET potency (IC(50) = 1.2 nM) and excellent selectivity for hNET over hsERT (> 1600-fold) and hDAT (> 600-fold). S-17b additionally had a good pharmacokinetic profile and demonstrated oral efficacy in rat models of ovariectomized-induced thermoregulatory dysfunction and morphine dependent flush as well as the hot plate and spinal nerve ligation (SNL) models of acute and neuropathic pain.
