In an effort to develop selective inhibitors of vesicular acetylcholine storage, we have synthesized a series of semirigid vesamicol receptor ligands based on the structure of 2-(4-phenylpiperidino)-cyclohexanol (vesamicol, AH5183, 1). In these compounds, the planes of the phenyl and piperidyl moieties of the parent ligand 1 are held at right angles by vinyl, ethylene, and propylene bridges to form N-substituted derivatives of spiro[indene- 1,4'-piperidine], 2,3-dihydrospiro[indene-1,4'-piperidine], and 3,4- dihydrospiro[naphthalene-1(2H),4'-piperidine], respectively. Preliminary evaluation of these compounds in electric organ synaptic vesicles revealed several potent vesamicol receptor ligands, such as 1'-(2-hydroxy-1,2,3,4- tetrahydronaphth-3-yl)spiro[1H-indene-1,4'-piperidine] (11b) and 1'-(2- hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphth-3-yl)spiro[2-bromo-1H-indene-1,4'- piperidine] (14), which display subnanomolar affinity for this receptor. In general, the vinyl and ethylene bridges yielded the most potent analogs while the propylene-bridged analogs were among the least potent compounds. The increased rigidity of these spiro-fused compounds, relative to the corresponding simple 4-phenylpiperidine derivatives of vesamicol, is expected to confer greater selectivity for the vesamicol receptor.
Spiropiperidines as high-affinity, selective σ ligands

A variety of achiral conformationally restricted spirocyclic piperidines have been prepared in an attempt to investigate the functional role of the central σ recognition site. All the compounds possessed a lipophilic N- substituent incorporating either a tetralin, indan, or benzocycloheptane skeleton. Their in vitro affinity at the σ site was assessed in radioligand displacement experiments with guinea pig cerebellum homogenates using the σ- specific radioligand [3H]-N,N'-di-o-tolylguanidine ([3H]-DTG, [3H]-6). A study of the structure-activity relationships identified the N-butyl and N- dimethylallyl substituents as the optimum groups for high affinity and selectivity at the σ site (e.g., 3,4-dihydro-1'-(3-methylbut-2- enyl)spiro[1H-indene-1,4'-piperidine] (48), pIC50 = 8.9 vs [3H]-6 and greater than 10 000-fold selective over the dopamine D2 receptor). Such compounds are amongst the highest affinity σ ligands reported to date, with excellent selectivity over the dopamine D2 receptor, and may serve as a useful tool for exploring the physiological role of the σ site.
