General description

4-Benzylpiperidine is dopamine-selective releaser. It is a potential candidate for treatments for cocaine dependence.

Application

4-Benzylpiperidine was used to study the metabolism of 1,3-butadiene and its oxidized metabolites in perfused livers of male B6C3F1 mice and Sprague-Dawley rats.
Reactant for synthesis of:
  • Antiproliferatives
  • GABA uptake inhibitors
  • Pyridines
  • Histamine H3 antagonists
  • Multipotent drugs with cholinergic and neuroprotective properties for the treatment of Alzheimer′s and neuronal vascular diseases
  • Antiserotoninergic, antiplatelet, hemorheologic, antiarrythmic and antioxidant molecules via nucleophilic substitution

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Benzylpiperidine inhibits the activity of rat brain monoamine oxidase-A and -B.

Inhibitory effects of some MPTP and MPP+ analogues on rat brain MAO activity were studied to further clarify the structure-activity relationships of MPTP neurotoxicity. Of the analogues tested, 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (CPTP), 4-(4-chlorobenzyl)-pyridine (CBP), 4-benzylpyridine (BPY) and 4-benzylpiperidine (BPIP) dose-dependently inhibited both

The industrial chemical 1,3-butadiene (BD) is a potent carcinogen in mice and a weak one in rats. This difference is generally related to species-specific burdens by the metabolites 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (EB), 1,2:3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB), and 3,4-epoxy-1,2-butanediol (EBD), which are all formed in
