B. Andersson et al., RESOLVED 2-ARYLCYCLOHEXYLAMINES - EFFECTS ON RESERPINE AKINESIA AND CENTRAL-NERVOUS-SYSTEM MONOAMINE SYNTHESIS, European journal of medicinal chemistry, 28(1), 1993, pp. 63-69
A series of cis- and trans-2-arylcyclohexylamines were synthesized and
resolved. The absolute configuration was determined by single-crystal
X-ray analysis. Some of the compounds, and especially racemic 2-(3-hy
droxyphenyl)-N,N-dipropylcyclohexylamine showed a marked locomotor sti
mulation in reserpinized rats. However, these compounds displayed only
minor effects on dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine synthesis rates, in
dicating a non-dopaminergic and/or serotonergic mechanism for this sti
mulation.
