2-Carbomethoxy-3-aryl-8-bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes: Potent Non-Nitrogen Inhibitors of Monoamine Transporters
摘要:
Cocaine is a potent central nervous system stimulant with severe addiction liability. Its reinforcing and stimulant properties derive from inhibition of monoamine transport systems, in particular the dopamine transporter (DAT). This inhibition results in an increase in synaptic dopamine with subsequent stimulation of postsynaptic dopamine receptors. A wide variety of ligands manifest potent inhibition of the DAT, and these ligands include 3-aryltropane as well as 8-oxa-3-aryltropane analogues of cocaine. There has been considerable effort to determine structure-activity relationships of cocaine and congeners, and it is becoming clear that these inhibitors do not all interact with the DAT in the same manner. The functional role of the 8-heteroatom is the focus of this study. We describe the preparation and biology of a series of 2-carbomethoxy-3-arylbicyclo[3.2.1]octane analogues. Results show that methylene substitution of the amine or ether function of the 8-hetero-2-carbomethoxy-3-arylbicyclo[3.2.1]octanes yields potent inhibitors of monoamine transport. Therefore neither nitrogen nor oxygen are prerequisites for binding of tropane-like ligands to monoamine transporters.

photoactivated (−)-riboflavin (vitamin B2) to generate the heterocyclic core via photoinduced single electron transfer. Collectively, the inexpensive nature of the catalyst, ease of execution, and absence of external metal additives are a convincing endorsement for the incorporation of simple vitamins in contemporary catalysis.
