Cocaine is one of the most widely abused drugs in the industrial world. Substantial evidence has accumulated that the dopamine transporter (DAT) is a key target for cocaine regarding its reinforcing effects. This work describes the application of chemometric methods to a data set of 54 N(1)-benzhydryl-oxy-alkyl-N(4)-phenyl-alk(en)yl-piperazines (GBR compounds) and chemically related mepyramines as putative candidates in cocaine abuse therapy. The aim of the study is to gain insight into the structural requirements that determine the affinity of the data set molecules to the DAT and the serotonin transporter (SERT) as well as their inhibitory potency on dopamine uptake. The compounds in the dataset are described using the recently developed GRID independent descriptors (GRIND), which allow one to obtain fast three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship models without the need of aligning and superimposing the structures; the results are interpreted in a convenient pharmacophoric-like fashion. In the first part of the work, the selectivity of the database molecules for DAT binding vs dopamine reuptake inhibition is investigated. In the second part, the selectivity of the compounds for DAT binding vs SERT binding is studied. In both cases, significant models are obtained, which define the structural features responsible for the respective selectivity profiles. Moreover, the information has potential interest for the design of new derivatives with improved selectivity.
