Abstract
A series of tropane derivatives has been synthesized as lobelane analogues and evaluated for their binding affinity at the vesicular monoamine transporter-2 (VMAT2), and at α4β2* and α7* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The trop-2-ene analogues 4a and 4b exhibited good affinity and high selectivity for VMAT2.
