Abstract

Pharmacophore-based discovery, synthesis, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of a series of 4-phenyl-1-arylalkyl piperidines are disclosed. These compounds have been evaluated for their ability to inhibit reuptake of dopamine (DA) into striatal nerve endings (synaptosomes). The lead compound 5 and the most potent analogue 43 were found to have significant functional antagonism.
