title: N-hydroxyalkyl derivatives of 3 beta-phenyltropane and 1-methylspiro[1H-indoline-3,4'-piperidine]: vesamicol analogues with affinity for monoamine transporters.
abstract: As part of our ongoing structure-activity studies of the vesicular acetylcholine transporter ligand 2-(4-phenylpiperidino)cyclohexanol (vesamicol, 1), 22 N-hydroxy(phenyl)alkyl derivatives of 3 beta-phenyltropane, 6, and 1-methylspiro[1H-indoline-3,4'-piperidine], 7, were synthesized and tested for binding in vitro. Although a few compounds displayed moderately high affinity for the vesicular acetylcholine transporter, no compound was more potent than the prototypical vesicular acetylcholine transporter ligand vesamicol. However, a few derivatives of 6 displayed higher affinity for the dopamine transporter than cocaine. We conclude that modification of the piperidyl fragment of 1 will not lead to more potent vesicular acetylcholine transporter ligands.
