Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Dec 1;18(23):6062-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.10.025. Epub 2008 Oct 11.

Abstract

A series of 3,3-disubstituted pyrrolidine monoamine triple reuptake inhibitors were discovered. Analogues with low nanomolar potency, good human in vitro microsomal stability and in vitro permeability, and low drug-drug interaction potential are described. One example showed in vivo anti-depressant-like effects in the mouse tail suspension assay with a minimum effective dose of 30 mg/kg i.p.
