Tropoxane (O-1072)[1] is an aryloxytropane derivative drug developed byOrganix Inc.,[2] which acts as astimulant and potentdopamine andserotoninreuptake inhibitor. It is an analogue ofdichloropane where theamine nitrogen has been replaced by an oxygenether link (at the bridgehead position), demonstrating that the amine nitrogen is not required forDAT binding and reuptake inhibition.[3][4][5]
The 8-thiabicyclo(3.2.1)octanes analogs such asO-4210 have been prepared.[6] A representative set of analogs is listed below.

It had been hypothesized that transporter binding of the tropanes might includeionic bonding of the central tropane nitrogen. But it turned out that at this site neither ionic norhydrogen bonding is a prerequisite for potent monoamine reuptake inhibition. Oxa- and thia-analogs of RTI-111 are potent inhibitors, and even anN-replacement bymethylene holds the potency within the same magnitude.[6][7][8] However,N-quaternisation (N-dimethyl) considerably reduces DAT affinity.
In this SAR, the focus is on seeing the effect of changing 8-NMe to S, O, or CH2. Both enantiomers, as well as the racemates are presented in several cases for comparison.
