New tropane analogs that bind to monoamine transporters are described, particularly, 8-aza, 8carbo and 8-oxo tropanes having 6- or 7- substituents. The compounds of the present invention can be racemic, pure R-enantiomers, or pure S-enantiomers Certain preferred compounds of the present invention have a high selectivity for the DAT versus the SERT. Also described are pharmaceutical therapeutic compositions comprising the compounds formulated in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a method for inhibiting 5-hydroxy-tryptamine reuptake of a monoamine transporter by contacting the monoamine transporter with a 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibiting amount of a compound of the present invention. Preferred monoamine transporters for the practice of the present invention include the dopamine transporter, the serotonin transporter and the norepinephrine transporter.
A compound having the structural formula:
A method for inhibiting 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake of a monoamine transporter comprising contacting the monoamine transporter with a compound having the structural formula:
A method for inhibiting 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake of a monoamine transporter in a mammal comprising administering to the mammal a 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibiting amount of a compound having the structural formula:
A method for inhibiting dopamine reuptake of a dopamine transporter in a mammal comprising administering to the mammal a dopamine reuptake inhibiting amount of a compound having the structural formula:
