A rate of utilization of 4-phenyl piperidine and its 12 derivatives by brain monoamine oxidase (MAO) was studied as compared with typical neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). The enzyme was isolated from P2 synaptosomal fraction of brain corpus striatum of Sprague-Dawley rats.
This Letter describes the synthesis of two regioisomers of a new class of vesamicol analogs as possible ligands for imaging the vesicular acetylcholine transporter in future PET studies. The two pyrrolovesamicols (±)-6a and (±)-6b were synthesized by nucleophilic ring opening

Various 4-phenylpiperidine-benzoxazin-3-ones were synthesized and biologically evaluated as urotensin-II (U-II) receptor antagonists. Compound 12i was identified from in vitro evaluation as a low nanomolar antagonist against both rat and human U-II receptors. This compound showed in vivo efficacy in reversing

sigma receptors may represent an exciting new approach for the development of novel psychotherapeutic agents. Unfortunately, many of the commonly used sigma ligands lack selectivity (e.g., many bind at phencyclidine or dopamine receptors) or suffer from other serious drawbacks. Recently
