Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2013 Oct 15;23(20):5515-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2013.08.062. Epub 2013 Aug 26.

Abstract

A series of 3,4-diarylpyrrolidin-2-one was designed, prepared and evaluated as triple reuptake inhibitors for antidepressant. Most compounds exhibited comparable in vitro efficacy as norepinephrine and dopamine transporter reuptake inhibitors. Especially, 2i showed better potency than GBR-12909 (IC50=14 nM) which was used as reference compound for dopamine transporter. In addition, 2a and 2b showed inhibition (5.17 μM-85.6 nM) for three transporters.
