J Med Chem. 2007 Jul 26;50(15):3686-95. doi: 10.1021/jm0703035. Epub 2007 Jun 30.

Abstract

Synthetic methods were developed for the synthesis of the 3beta-(4-substituted phenyl)-2 beta-[5-(substituted phenyl)thiazol-2-yl]tropanes (4a-s). The compounds were evaluated for their monoamine transporter binding and monoamine uptake inhibition properties using both rat brain tissue and cloned transporter assays. In general, the compounds showed higher dopamine transporter (DAT) affinity relative to the serotonin and norepinephrine transporters (SERT and NET, respectively) and greater [3H]dopamine uptake inhibition potency relative to [3H]serotonin and [3H]norepinephrine uptake inhibition. Several compounds were DAT selective relative to the SERT and NET in the monoamine transporter binding assays. The most potent and selective analog in the functional monoamine uptake inhibition test was 3beta-(4-methylphenyl-2 beta-[5-(3-nitrophenyl)thiazol-2-yl]tropane (4p).
