title: Further exploration of 1-[2-[Bis-(4-fluorophenyl)methoxy]ethyl]piperazine (GBR 12909): role of N-aromatic, N-heteroaromatic, and 3-oxygenated N-phenylpropyl substituents on affinity for the dopamine and serotonin transporter.
abstract: A series of N-aromatic, N-heteroaromatic, and oxygenated N-phenylpropyl derivatives of 1-(2-benzhydryloxyethyl)-piperazine and 1-[2-[bis-(4-fluorophenyl)methoxy]ethyl]piperazine, analogues of GBR 12909 (1a) and 12935 (1b), was synthesized and examined for their dopamine (DAT) and serotonin (SERT) transporter binding properties. One of these compounds, racemic 3-[4-(2-benzhydryloxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]-1-(3-fluorophenyl)-propan-1-ol (33), had DAT affinity as good as, or better than, GBR 12909 and 12935, and was more selective for DAT over SERT than the GBR compounds. Both trans- (43) and cis- (47) (+/-)-2-(4-[2-[bis-(4-fluorophenyl)-methoxy]ethyl]piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-ol had relatively good SERT selectivity and, as well, showed high affinity for SERT.
