Abstract

Twenty novel N-diarylalkenyl-piperidinecarboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as γ-aminobutyric acid uptake inhibitors. The biological assay showed that (R)-1- [4, 4-bis (3-phenoxymethyl-2-thienyl)-3-butenyl]-3-piperidinecarboxylic hydrochloride (4e) possessed almost as strong GAT1 inhibitory activity as tiagabine. The synthesis and structure–activity relationships are discussed.
