Inhibition of DA Uptake
the DAT while showing moderate potency at the NET
and the SERT. The present series of compounds that
embody some elements of structural rigidity provide
further insight into the design of ligands showing certain
levels of transporter selectivity that may be useful in
the development of medications for the treatment of a
variety of neurological disorders.

As predicted, all equations derived in this study show that
the relative position and the size of the substitutions are
very important in determining activity at the three
monoamine transporters studied in this series. The QSAR
equation developed for the NET shows a linear depen-
dence of log Ki on the size of the O-alkyl substitution,
while the DAT and the SERT exhibit a parabolic depen-
dence. In case of the DAT, the distance between O6B
and C4B does not improve the quality of the QSAR
model suggesting that this parameter is not important
for inhibition of the DAT. However, the distance
between Cl1 and the substitution at O6B signi®cantly
improves the quality of the QSAR equation. Hence, the
relative spatial orientation of the two hydrophobic sub-
stituents is important for DAT inhibition.

In conclusion, a series of rigid 6-substituted azabicyclo-
octanes were prepared in their enantiomerically pure
form using a Dieckmann cyclization method. In this
series, oxime (+)-11 exhibits potent activity at the DAT
and moderate activity at the SERT and the NET. The
present work demonstrates that ``front bridged'' bicyclic
piperidines can be tailored to exhibit good potency at
