Abstract

A series of halogenated (F, Cl, Br, I), pyrimido and diazepino homologs of mazindol were prepared and evaluated for their ability to displace [3H] WIN 35,428 binding and to inhibit uptake of [3H] dopamine (DA) in rat striatal tissue. All of the compounds except for the 2'- chloro (6) and 2'-bromo (16) analogs of mazindol displaced [3H] WIN 35,428 binding and inhibited [3H] DA uptake more effectively than (R)-cocaine. Structure-activity studies ...
