The conformationally defined analogues of amphetamine, exo-(3a) and endo-2-aminobenzobicyclo [2.2. 1] heptene (4a), and methamphetamine, exo-(3b) and endo-2-(methylamino) benzobicyclo [2.2. Ijheptene (4b), were synthesized and their stereochemical assignments confirmed by NMR analysis. Benzonorbornen-2-one (7) was converted to its oxime (8), followed by reduction to 4a. Amine 4b was produced from 7 by reductive amination with methylamine and NaBHgCN. Amine 3a was obtained by reduction of azide 5, formed from benzonorbornadiene and mercuric azide. Formylation of 3a, followed by hydride reduction, gave amine 3b. These compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the uptake of [3H] norepinephrine ([3H] NE) into chopped cerebral cortex and atrial tissue, to increase locomotor activity in mice, and to increase the beating rate of isolated rat atria. Pharmacological manipulations were performed to vary the releasable pool of NE fromprimarily vesicular to primarily extravesicular in nature. The data were compared to those previously reported for the closely related amphetamine analogues exo-(la) and endo-2-aminobenzobicyclo [2.2. 2] octene (2a) and methamphetamine analogues exo-(lb) and endo-2-(methylamino) benzobicyclo [2.2. 2] octene (2b). As was found for the conformationally restricted gauche analogues 2a and 2b in the [2.2. 2] ring system, the endo [2.2. 1] analogues (4a, b) were consistently less active than the trans antiperiplanar (exo) analogues. However, in the exo analogues (3a, b) removal of one methylene unit from the ethylene bridge of the exo [2.2. 2] ring system resulted in pronounced pharmacological differences. While 3b was equipotent with methamphetamine in releasing [3H] NE from extravesicular storagesites as measured by biochemical methods (tracer studies), release of extravesicular NE as measured by physiological methods (isolated atria, locomotor activity) was apparently masked by a nonspecific depressant effect induced by the compound. These complicating factors were not observed for the [2.2. 2] analogue lb. Also, while both la and lb showed a sensitivity to compartmentation of the releasable pool of [3H] NE, 3a showed a loss of sensitivity (possibly through monoamineoxidase inhibition). Since these pharmacological differences occurred upon relatively minor structural modifications, care should be exercised in utilizing such compounds as tools for assessing conformational preferences when the pharmacological evaluations employed rest upon physiological viability of effector membranes.We have recently demonstrated conformational pref-erences for the amphetamine-induced inhibition of [3H]-norepinephrine ([3H] NE) uptake1 and for the release1, 2 of previously accumulated [3H] NE from adrenergic nerve terminals of rat brain and rat atria by utilizing as con-formationally defined amphetamine analogues the exo (la) and endo (2a) isomers of 2-aminobenzobicyclo [2.2. 2] octene and as methamphetamine analogues the exo (lb) and endo (2b) isomers of 2-(methylamino) benzobicyclo [2.2. 2] octene (Chart I). The rationale for this approach was based upon the excellent spatial approximations of amphetamine (or methamphetamine) rotamers afforded by this ring system. The endo and exo isomers of the 2-methylamine derivative provide excellent strain-free models of thegauche and fully extended (see Chart I) conformations, respectively, of methamphetamine, with minimal perturbation of bond orders, angles, and distances as determined by molecular orbital calculations3 and X-ray crystallography. 4 The pharmacological results indicated that, while the fully
