Publication number: 20070244149Abstract: New tropane analogs that bind to monoamine transporters are described, particularly, 8-aza, 8carbo and 8-oxo tropanes having 6- or 7-hydroxyl or ketone substituents. The compounds of the present invention can be racemic, pure R-enantiomers, or pure S-enantiomers. Certain preferred compounds of the present invention have a high selectivity for the DAT versus the SERT. Also described are pharmaceutical therapeutic compositions comprising the compounds formulated in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a method for inhibiting 5-hydroxy-tryptamine reuptake of a monoamine transporter by contacting the monoamine transporter with a 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibiting amount of a compound of the present invention. Preferred monoamine transporters for the practice of the present invention include the dopamine transporter, the serotonin transporter and the norepinephrine transporter.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2007Publication date: October 18, 2007Applicants: Organix, Inc., President and Fellows of Harvard CollegeInventors: Peter Meltzer, Bertha Madras, Paul Blundell

Publication number: 20070009432Abstract: Radiopharmaceutical compounds are disclosed. A tropane compound is linked through the N atom at the 8-position to a chelating ligand capable of complexing technetium or rhenium to produce a neutral labeled complex that selectively binds to the dopamine transporter over the serotonin transporter with a ratio of 10 or more. These compounds can be prepared as separate diastereoisomers as well as a mixture of diastereoisomers. Also disclosed are radiopharmaceutical kits for preparing the labeled radiopharmaceutical compounds.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2006Publication date: January 11, 2007Applicants: President and Fellows of Harvard College, Organix, Inc., General Hospital Corporation, TheInventors: Peter Meltzer, Paul Blundell, Bertha Madras, Alan Fischman, Alun Jones, Ashfaq Mahmood
