Herein, we report the rational design and synthesis of novel 2,5-disubstitu
ted piperidine derivatives in the cis and trans isomeric forms. Out of thes
e two isomers, the cis-isomer, 7a, Was found to exhibit the most potent act
ivity and selectivity for the dopamine transporter. These novel derivatives
represent conformationally constrained version of piperidine analogue of G
BR compounds. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
