The synthesis and pharmacological characterization of a series of N-substituted 3-(4-fluorophenyl) tropane derivatives is reported. The compounds displayed binding characteristics that paralleledthose of cocaine, and several had substantially higher affinity at cocaine recognition sites. Conjugate addition of 4-fluorophenylmagnesium bromide to anhydroecgonine methyl ester gave 2/S-(carbomethoxy)-3/3-(4-fluorophenyl) tropane (4a, designated CFT, also known as WIN 35,428) after flash chromatography. N demethylation of 4a was effected by Zn/HOAc reduction of the corresponding 2, 2, 2-trichloroethyl carbamate to give 2< 3-carbomethoxy-3/3-(4-fluorophenyl) nortropane (5), which wes alkylated with allyl bromide to Etfford the JV-Etllyl analogue, 6. The N-propyl analogue, 7, was prepared by catalytic reduction (Pd/C) of 6. The most potent analogue, 4a, was tritiated at a specific activity of 81.3 Ci/mmol.[3H] 4a bound rapidly Etnd reversibly to caudate putamen membranes; the two-component binding curve typical of cocaine anEilogues weis observed. Equilibrium weis achieved within 2 h and was stable for at least 4 h. High-and low-affinity K¿ values observed for [3H] 4a (4.7 and 60 nM, respectively) were more than 4 times lower than those for [3H] cocaine, and the density of binding sites (S^= 50 pmol/g, high, and 290 pmol/g, low) for the two drugs were comparable. Nonspecific binding of [3H] 4a was 5-10% oftotal binding.The abuse of cocaine is a public health problem of great national concern. Despite the intensive efforts that have been made in this area, there remains a lack of adequate information about the neurochemical mechanisms that mediate cocaine’s behavioral effects and abuse liability. 1 Selective, pharmacologically relevantbinding sites for [3H] cocaine have been identified in striatal tissue of ro-dents, 2" 5 nonhuman primates, 6 and humans. 7 These sites are associated with the monoamine uptake system and display properties characteristic of a pharmacological re-ceptor. Specifically, the sites bind [3H] cocaine saturably and reversibly, 8, 9 they display stereoselectivity for (-)-cocaine versus its enantiomer (+)-cocaine or its C-2 epimer, pseudococaine, 6 and they show a high degree of corre-spondence between the binding affinity of various cocaine analogues and their relative potencies for inhibiting dop-amine uptake6 and for producing cocaine-like behavioral effects such as behavioral stimulation, 10 intravenous self-administration, 11 and stereotypy. 2 More detailed characterization and mapping of cocaine binding sites and investigation of theirrelationship to the dopamine reuptake system has been restricted by the limitations of [3H] cocaine as a radioligand probe of the
