Studies on a series of milnacipran analogs containing a heteroaromatic group as potent norepinephrine and serotonin transporter inhibitors
摘要:
A series of milnacipran analogs containing a heteroaromatic group were synthesized and studied as monoamine transporter inhibitors. Many compounds exhibited higher potency than milnacipran at NET and NET/SERT with no significant change in lipophilicity. For example, compound R-26f was about 10-fold more potent than milnacipran with IC(50) values of 8.7 and 26 nM at NET and SERT, respectively. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis of enantiomerically pure milnacipran analogs and inhibition of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine transporters
摘要:
A series of Milnacipran analogs with variation in the aromatic moiety were prepared in high enantionteric excess. Structure-activity relationships for two parallel enantionteric series are described. The (-)-(1R,2S)-naphthyl analog (8h) showed the highest potency in the two series and is a triple reuptake inhibitor of the SERT, NET, and DAT. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
