Abstract

The synthesis and SAR of a series of chiral heterocyclic ring-constrained norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors are described. The best compounds compare favorably with atomoxetine in potency (IC(50)s<10 nM), selectivity against the other monoamine transporters, and inhibition of CYP2D6 (IC(50)s>1 microM). In addition, the compounds are generally more stable than atomoxetine to oxidative metabolism and thus are likely to have lower clearance in humans.
