title: Synthesis and monoamine transporter affinity of new 2beta-carbomethoxy-3beta-[aryl or heteroaryl]phenyltropanes.
abstract: A series of 16 new 2beta-carbomethoxy-3beta-[aryl or heteroaryl]phenyltropane derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for binding to monoamine transporters. Most of the compounds exhibited nanomolar affinity for the serotonin transporter (SERT). Four compounds presented a particularly attractive pharmacological profile, with very high SERT affinity (K(i) 0.15-0.5 nM) and selectivity versus the dopamine transporter of 25- to 77-fold.
