  • Patent number: 11365195
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a series of modafinil analogue compounds that bind with moderate to high affinity to the dopamine (DA) transporter (DAT) and several analogues also having affinity for the serotonin (5-HT) transporter (SERT) and/or sigma-1 receptor. Employing aminopiperidine, piperidineamino, spirobicyclodiaza, or substituted piperazine functional groups, desired dopamine transporter affinity has been retained along with improved metabolic stability over unsubstituted piperazine ring analogues. Importantly, these compounds have no predicted addictive liability. Also disclosed are methods for treating substance use disorders as well as other neuropsychiatric disorders such as ADHD, depression, narcolepsy, and cognitive impairment.
