Abstract: Three phencyclidine (PCP) analogues possessing a highly rigid carbocyclic structure and an attached piperidine ring which is free to rotate were synthesized. Each analogue has a specific fixed orientation of the ammonium center of the piperidinium ring to the centrum of the phenyl ring. The binding affinities of the rigid analogues 1-piperidino-7,8-benzobicyclo[4.2.0]octene (14), 1-piperidinobenzobicyclo[2.2.1]heptene (16), and 1-piperidinobenzobicyclo[2.2.2]octene (13) for the PCP receptor ([3H]TCP) and th-receptor (NANM) were determined. The three analogues show low to no affinity for the PCP receptor but good affinity for the th-receptor and can be considered th-receptor selective ligands with PCP/th ratios of 13, 293, and 368, respectively. The binding affinities for the th-receptor are rationalized in terms of a model for the th-pharmacophore.
