title: Studies on the SAR and pharmacophore of milnacipran derivatives as monoamine transporter inhibitors.
abstract: Derivatives of milnacipran were synthesized and studied as monoamine transporter inhibitors. Potent analogs were discovered at NET (9k) and at both NET and SERT (9s and 9u). A pharmacophore model was established based on the conformational analysis of milnacipran in aqueous solution using NMR techniques and was consistent with the SAR results.
