Abstract
The dopamine transporter (DAT) plays a critical role in the central nervous system and has been implicated in numerous psychiatric disorders. The ligand-based approaches are instrumental to decipher the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of DAT ligands, especially the quantitative SAR (QSAR) modeling. By gathering and analyzing data from literature and databases, we systematically assemble a diverse range of ligands binding to DAT, aiming to discern the general features of DAT ligands and uncover the chemical space for potential novel DAT ligand scaffolds. The aggregation of DAT pharmacological activity data, particularly from databases like ChEMBL, provides a foundation for constructing robust QSAR models. The compilation and meticulous filtering of these data, establishing high-quality training datasets with specific divisions of pharmacological assays and data types, along with the application of QSAR modeling, prove to be a promising strategy for navigating the pertinent chemical space. Through a systematic comparison of DAT QSAR models using training datasets from various ChEMBL releases, we underscore the positive impact of enhanced data set quality and increased data set size on the predictive power of DAT QSAR models.

Comparative Study of Two Oxidizing Agents, Chloramine T and Iodo-Gen ®, for the Radiolabeling of β-CIT with Iodine-131: Relevance for Parkinson's Disease. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2019; 12:ph12010025.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, leading to alteration of the integrity of dopaminergic transporters (DATs). In recent years, some radiopharmaceuticals have been used in the clinic to evaluate the integrity of DATs. These include tropane derivatives such as radiolabeled β-CIT and FP-CIT with iodine-123 (123I), and TRODAT-1 with metastable technetium-99 (99mTc). Radiolabeling of β-CIT with radioactive iodine is based on electrophilic radioiodination using oxidizing agents, such as Chloramine T or Iodo-Gen®. For the first time, the present work performed a comparative study of the radiolabeling of β-CIT with iodine-131 (131I), using either Chloramine T or Iodo-Gen® as oxidizing agents, in order to improve the radiolabeling process of β-CIT and to choose the most advantageous oxidizing agent to be used in nuclear medicine. Both radiolabeling methods were similar and resulted in high radiochemical yield (> 95%), with suitable 131I-β-CIT stability up to 72 h. Although Chloramine T is a strong oxidizing agent, it was as effective as Iodo-Gen® for β-CIT radiolabeling with 131I, with the advantage of briefer reaction time and solubility in aqueous medium.

Abstract
This review focuses on the development of fluorine-18 radiolabeled PET tracers for imaging the dopamine transporter (DAT), serotonin transporter (SERT), and norepinephrine transporter (NET). All successful DAT PET tracers reported to date are members of the 3β-phenyl tropane class and are synthesized from cocaine. Currently available carbon-11 SERT PET tracers come from both the diphenylsulfide and 3β-phenyl nortropane class, but so far only the nortropanes have found success with fluorine-18 derivatives. NET imaging has so far employed carbon-11 and fluorine-18 derivatives of reboxetine but due to defluorination of the fluorine-18 derivatives further research is still necessary.

Abstract
Over the past 20 years, psychotropics affecting the serotonergic system have been used extensively in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Molecular imaging, in particular PET, has allowed for elucidation of the essential contribution of the serotonin transporter to the pathophysiology of various psychiatric disorders and their treatment. We review studies that use PET to measure cerebral serotonin transporter activity in psychiatric disorders, focusing on major depressive disorder and antidepressant treatment. We also discuss opportunities and limitations in the application of this neuroimaging method in clinical practice. Although results from individual studies diverge, meta-analysis indicates a trend towards reduced serotonin transporter availability in patients with major depressive disorder. Inconsistencies in results might suggest symptom heterogeneity in major depressive disorder and might therefore be relevant for stratification of patients into clinical subsets. PET has enabled the elucidation of mechanisms of response to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and hence provides a basis for rational pharmacological treatment of major depressive disorder. Such imaging studies have also suggested that the pattern of serotonin transporter binding before treatment might predict response to antidepressant treatment, which could potentially be clinically useful in the future. Additionally, this Review discusses PET studies investigating the serotonin transporter in anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and eating disorders. Few studies have shown changes in serotonin transporter activity in schizophrenia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. By showing the scarcity of data in these psychiatric disorders, we highlight the potential for further investigation in this field.

Abstract
First syntheses of C6,7 and C7 enantiopure cocaine analogues were achieved from D-(-)-ribose via a trans-acetonide controlled endo-selective intramolecular nitrone-alkene cycloaddition (INAC) as the key step. This synthetic scheme allows practical preparation of cocaine analogues for bioevaluation as potential candidates for the treatment of cocaine addiction and as potential conjugates for immunotherapy.

Abstract
The meta-vinylhalide fluoroalkyl ester nortropanes 1-4 were synthesized as ligands of the serotonin transporter (SERT) for use as positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents. In vitro competition binding assays demonstrated that 1-4 have a high affinity for the SERT (K(i) values = 0.3-0.4 nM) and are selective for the SERT over the dopamine and norepinephrine transporters (DAT and NET). MicroPET imaging in anesthetized cynomolgus monkeys with [(18)F]1-[(18)F]4 demonstrated that all four tracers behave similarly with peak uptake in the SERT-rich brain regions achieved after 45-55 min, followed by a steady washout. An awake monkey study was performed with [(18)F]1, which demonstrated that the uptake of [(18)F]1 was not influenced by anesthesia. Chase studies with the SERT ligand 15 displaced [(18)F]1-[(18)F]4, but chase studies with the DAT ligand 16 did not displace [(18)F]1-[(18)F]4 thus indicating that the tracers were binding specifically to the SERT.

Abstract
Citalopram and talopram are structurally closely related, but they have very distinct pharmacological profiles as selective inhibitors of the serotonin and norepinephrine transporters, respectively. A systematic structure-activity relationship study was performed, in which each of the four positions distinguishing the two compounds were varied. The inhibitory potencies of the resulting 16 compounds were tested at both serotonin and norepinephrine transporters. This showed that particularly two of the four positions are determinants for the biological activity.

Abstract
Novel derivatives of 1-[2-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methoxy]ethyl]-4-(3-phenylpropyl)piperazine (GBR 12909, 1) and 1-[2-(diphenylmethoxy)ethyl]-4-(3-phenylpropyl)piperazine (GBR 12935, 2) with various substituents in positions C2 and C3 of the phenylpropyl side chain were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to bind to the dopamine transporter (DAT) and the serotonin transporter (SERT). In the C2 series, the substituent in the S-configuration, with a lone-pair of electrons, significantly enhanced the affinity for DAT, whereas the steric effect of the substituent was detrimental to DAT binding affinity. In the C3 series, neither the lone electron pair nor the steric effect of the substituent seemed to affect DAT binding affinity, while sp (2) hybridized substituents had a detrimental effect on affinity for DAT. In the series, the 2-fluoro-substituted (S)-10 had the highest DAT binding affinity and good DAT selectivity, while the 2-amino-substituted (R)-8 showed essentially the same affinity for DAT and SERT. The oxygenated 16 and 18 possessed the best selectivity for DAT.

Abstract
2beta-carbomethoxy-3beta-(3'-((Z)-2-iodoethenyl)phenyl)nortropane (mZIENT, 1) and 2beta-carbomethoxy-3beta-(3'-((Z)-2-bromoethenyl)phenyl)nortropane (mZBrENT, 2) were synthesized and evaluated for binding to the human serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine transporters (SERT, DAT, and NET, respectively) using transfected cells. Both 1 and 2 have a high affinity for the SERT (Ki=0.2 nM) and are approximately 160 times more selective for the SERT than the DAT. Compound 2 has a significantly higher affinity for the NET than 1, and this may be a result of the different size and electronegativity of the halogen atoms. MicroPET imaging in nonhuman primates with [11C]1 and [11C]2 demonstrated that both tracers behave similarly in vivo with high uptake being observed in the SERT-rich brain regions and peak uptake being achieved in about 55 min postinjection. Chase studies with citalopram and methylphenidate demonstrated that this uptake is the result of preferential binding to the SERT.

A series of novel piperidine based analogs of cocaine was synthesized and evaluated in vitro against the three monoamine transporters to develop new potential selective SERT radiotracers. Modification of the phenyl substitution with five-membered heterocyclic groups resulted in a wide affinity and selectivity scale. Radiolabeling and mouse in vivo study was performed on the piperidine analog of ZIENT, which crossed the blood-brain barrier but failed to selectively accumulate in the regions of the brain rich in SERT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serotonin transporters (SERT) are a major target for antidepressant medication, although there have been limited in vivo studies of SERT availability in patients being treated with antidepressants. It is not known whether SERT availability differs in treatment-responsive and -nonresponsive patients receiving long-term treatment. In this study, we used single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to compare SERT residual availability in unipolar responders and nonresponders during long-term antidepressant treatment. Dopamine transporter (DAT) availability was also assessed in the same patients to examine the relationship between the two transporter systems. METHODS Twenty-four medicated unipolar patients were recruited, of whom 11 were responders and 13 were nonresponders. All patients underwent SPECT with [123I] beta-carbomethoxy-3-beta-(4 iodophenyl)tropane. Brain SERT was measured in the brain stem and diencephalon, and DAT was measured in the striatum. Residual availability was calculated as a ratio of specific to nonspecific uptake, with the occipital region used as the nonspecific reference region. RESULTS There was no difference between responders and nonresponders in SERT availability. Dopamine transporter availability was similar in responders and nonresponders, and there was no association between SERT and DAT availability. CONCLUSIONS Serotonin transporter availability does not discriminate responders and nonresponders during long-term treatment with antidepressants.
