Abstract

The present work describes a series of novel chiral amines that potently inhibit the in vitro reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine (triple reuptake inhibitors) and were active in vivo in a mouse model predictive of antidepressant like activity. The detailed synthesis and in vitro activity and ADME profile of compounds is described, which represent a previously undisclosed triple reuptake inhibitor chemotype.
