Abstract:
Several isopropyl and phenyl esters of 3 beta-(4-substituted phenyl) tropan-2 beta-carboxylic acid analogs of cocaine are relatively more potent and selective than cocaine and some other compounds in inhibiting dopamine uptake. These analogs can be used as binding ligands and as tools for elucidating the mechanisms of action of cocaine.
