2-Benzylpiperidine is a stimulant drug of the aryl piperidine family. It is similar in structure to certain other stimulants such as methylphenidate and desoxypipradrol. However, it is far less potent as a monoamine reuptake inhibitor in comparison.[1] [2] [3] The drug is little used as a stimulant, with its main use being as a synthetic intermediate in the manufacture of other drugs.[4] [5] [6]
Pharmacology
[edit ]The affinity (Ki) of 2-benzylpiperidine for the dopamine transporter (DAT) has been reported to be 6,360 nM and its functional inhibition (IC50) of the DAT has been reported to be 3,780 to 8,800 nM.[1] [2] [3] These values were 85-fold and 53- to 38-fold lower than those of methylphenidate, respectively.[1] [2] [3] It produced 36% inhibition of binding to the norepinephrine transporter (NET) and 22% inhibition of binding to the serotonin transporter (SERT) at a concentration of 10,000 nM.[3] However, 2-phenylpiperidine might have actually been assayed by mistake in one of the two studies that reported the preceding values, and so some of the values might be incorrect.[1] In another older study, 2-benzylpiperidine was reported to be similarly potent to dextroamphetamine in terms of norepinephrine reuptake inhibition.[7]
Analogs
[edit ]Derivatives of 2-benzylpiperidine, such as the cathinone-like derivative α-keto-2-benzylpiperidine and its 4-methyl, 4-halo, and 3,4-dichloro analogues, have been synthesized and have been found to be much more potent as dopamine reuptake inhibitors.[1] Another analogue of 2-benzylpiperidine, 3-phenylpiperidine, is also more potent as a monoamine reuptake inhibitor in comparison, with higher affinities for the monoamine transporters and ~8-fold higher functional inhibition of the DAT.[3]

Compound 5 [(2-benzylpiperidine)] has also, apparently, been previously prepared and examined as a DAT reuptake inhibitor by Kim et al.6 However, there is a potential problem. Although Kim et al.6 showed the correct chemical structure for 2-benzylpiperidine, their experimental writeup suggests they might have inadvertently prepared 2-phenylpiperidine. Furthermore, their melting point for the target is different from that previously reported by others for the target compound.23,24 Obviously, apart from the different melting point, this might have been a typographical error.

8 Complete removal of the ester of tMP (i.e., 2-benzylpiperidine, 130) reduced the binding affinity at DAT by 85-fold (IC50 = 6360 nM) and reduced [ 3H]DA reuptake potency by 38-fold (IC50 = 8800 nM) as compared to tMP (70) (IC50 =75 and 230 nM, binding affinity and [ 3H]DA uptake, respectively).125 [...] We also showed that the carbonyl oxygen atom of 161 is not important for the compound to act as a DAT reuptake inhibitor as our descarbonyl analog (2-benzylpiperidine, 169) retained activity; however, the carbonyl oxygen atom helps to improve the potency at DAT as a reuptake inhibitor.

[...] removal of the additional phenyl ring of deoxypipradrol or the carbomethoxy group of methylphenidate yields 2-benzylpiperidine which contains the intact piperidine ring and is as potent as S-(+)-amphetamine as an inhibitor of norepinephrine uptake into synaptic vesicles (unpublished observations).
