TL;DR

A series of racemic 6-hydroxy and carboalkoxy substituted-4('),4"-difluorobenztropines was synthesized and evaluated for binding at the dopamine (DAT), the serotonin (SERT), the norepinephrine (NET) transporters, and the muscarinic M1 receptor.

Abstract

A series of racemic 6-hydroxy and carboalkoxy substituted-4('),4"-difluorobenztropines was synthesized and evaluated for binding at the dopamine (DAT), the serotonin (SERT), the norepinephrine (NET) transporters, and the muscarinic M1 receptor. Each of the analogues displaced [(3)H]WIN 35,428 (DAT) with a range of affinities from 5.81 to 175 nM and [(3)H]pirenzepine (M1), with a range of affinities ( K(i)= -8430 nM). Binding affinities at the SERT and the NET were generally low.
