(−)-3β-Substituted Ecgonine Methyl Esters as Inhibitors for Cocaine Binding and Dopamine Uptake
摘要:
Ten 3 beta-ecgonine analogues were synthesized and characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. The compounds were synthesized as (-)-stereoisomers from (-)-cocaine. These compounds were assessed for their ability to inhibit [H-3]cocaine binding to rat striatal tissue and to inhibit [H-3]DA uptake into rat striatal synaptosomes. In this series of compounds, the length of the spacer between the aryl group and the tropane skeleton ranged from 1 to 4 bond distances, and conformational flexibility of the linkage and orientation of the aryl ring system were controlled by various types of linkages. The most potent of the analogues was methyl-(1R-2-exo-3-exo)-8-methyl-3-(beta-styrenyl)-8-azabicyclo-[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylate. One of the less potent compounds was found to inhibit [H-3]cocaine binding and [H-3]DA uptake with significantly different IC50 values, in contrast to 14 other 3 beta-substituted analogues. Molecular modeling and CoMFA analysis were used to obtain a rigorous structure-function relationship for the studied compounds. The results showed that the potencies of these 3 beta-substituted ecgonine methyl esters were dominated by steric effects and were acutely sensitive to the distance between the aryl ring and the tropane skeleton and to the orientation of the aryl ring system relative to the tropane skeleton. The current study provides a clearer picture of the shape and size of the putative hydrophobic binding pocket for the 3 beta substituent at the cocaine receptor as well as emphasizing the importance of a drug's free energy of solvation in obtaining structure-activity relationships.

series of 4'-substituted 3beta-phenyltropane-2beta-carboxylic acid methyl esters were synthesized and evaluated for binding at the dopamine transporter (DAT) in order to better define the pharmacophore for the cocaine binding site on the DAT. Results from the study of 3beta-[(4'-phenylalkyl)phenyl]tropane-2beta-carboxylic acid methyl esters (5a-c and 6a,b) revealed strong evidence of a previously unknown

The dopamine transporter (DAT), located presynaptically on dopamine neurons, provides a marker for Parkinson's disease (Pd) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In ADHD, DAT density levels are elevated, while in Pd these levels are depleted. The depletion of DAT levels also corresponds with the loss of dopamine. We now describe the design, synthesis, biology, and SPECT imaging in nonhuman primates of second-generation (99m)technetium-based tropane ligands that bind potently and selectively to the DAT. We demonstrate that improved selectivity and biological stability allows sufficient agent to enter the brain and label the DAT in vivo to provide a quantitative measure of DAT density in nonhuman primates. We introduce FLUORATEC (N-[(2-((3'-N-propyl-(1"R)-3"alpha-(4-fluorophenyl)tropane-2"beta-1-propanoyl)(2-mercaptoethyl)amino)acetyl)-2-aminoethanethiolato]technetium(V) oxide), a DAT imaging agent that has emerged from these studies and is now in phase 1 clinical trials in the U.S.

The compounds of the present invention comprise a tropane compound or ligand that selectively binds to tropane recognition sites, e.g., neuron transporters such as the DAT. The tropane ligand is radiolabeled with a radioactive technetium or rhenium by a chelating ligand which is attached to the tropane ligand by a linker.Tropane compounds or ligands useful in the pratice of the present invention can generally be represented by formula II where R1 and R2 are defined as above and where R1 can also be substituted at the C4 position of the tropane ring:Any tropane compound of the general formula II is useful in the present invention so long as it binds to DAT.Useful tropane analogs have a 3α-group, i.e., are of the boat configuration.Intermediates for the synthesis of the radiolabeled tropanes are claimed.
