title: An analysis of the binding of cocaine analogues to the monoamine transporters using tensor decomposition 3-d QSAR.
abstract: The conformation and alignment of cocaine analogues bound to the monoamine transporter proteins were explored using the tensor decomposition 3-D QSAR method. It is proposed from these calculations that the bound conformation of these ligands to the three transporter proteins has the 3beta-aryl substituent in a conformation in which the aryl group is orthogonal or approximately orthogonal to the tropane ring. Based on these results, rigid and semi-rigid tropane analogues were designed, synthesized and their affinities for the monoamine transporters were determined.
