One aspect of the present invention relates to heterocyclic compounds. A second aspect of the present invention relates to the use of the heterocyclic compounds as ligands for various mammalian cellular receptors, including dopamine, serotonin, or norepinephrine transporters. The compounds of the present invention will find use in the treatment of numerous ailments, conditions and diseases which afflict mammals, including but not limited to addiction, anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunction, hypertension, migraine, Alzheimer's disease, obesity, emesis, psychosis, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, Lesche-Nyhane disease, Wilson's disease, and Tourette's syndrome. An additional aspect of the present invention relates to the synthesis of combinatorial libraries of the heterocyclic compounds, and the screening of those libraries for biological activity, e.g., in assays based on dopamine transporters.

One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of treating of drug addiction or drug dependence in a mammal, comprising the step of administering to a mammal in need thereof a therapuetically effective amount of a heterocyclic compound, e.g., a 3-substituted piperidine. In a preferred embodiment, the method of the present invention treats cocaine addiction or methamphetamine addiction.
The selective cross McMurry couplings of diaryl or aryl ketones with various substituted ketones were achieved in 53−94% isolated yields. It is believed that the strong affinity of the substituents to the low-valent titanium surface plays an important role in regards to moderating selectivity. Through the introduction of such substituents followed by their removal post McMurry coupling, structurally
An environmentally friendly method for the synthesis of a series of novel, unsymmetrical Michler’s ketone analogues, [4-(dialkylamino)phenyl](aryl)methanones, via nucleophilic aromatic substitution of (fluorophenyl)(aryl)methanones with various amines in water is described. The reaction products are formed in high yields and additional purification is not required. The aqueous solvent and unreacted
found to be mainly the dipolarity/polarizability (π*) and hydrogenbond acidity (α) of the solvent that contribute to the bathochromic UV/Vis band shift. As strongly basic sites are present as substituents at the peripheries of the molecules, protonation takes place at the secondary nitrogen atom of, for example, MK(pipaz)2 (2d) in stronglyhydrogen bond-donating (HBD) solvents. This specific type of substitution
