Preparation and evaluation of tetrabenazine enantiomers and all eight stereoisomers of dihydrotetrabenazine as VMAT2 inhibitors.


ABSTRACT: Tetrabenazine (TBZ) ((±)-1) and dihydrotetrabenazines (DHTBZ) are potent inhibitors of VMAT2. Herein, a practical chemical resolution of (±)-1 and stereoselective synthesis of all eight DHTBZ stereoisomers are described. The result of VMAT2 binding assay revealed that (+)-1 (Ki=4.47 nM) was 8000-fold more potent than (-)-1 (Ki=36,400 nM). Among all eight DHTBZ stereoisomers, (2R,3R,11bR)-DHTBZ ((+)-2: Ki=3.96 nM) showed the greatest affinity for VMAT2. The (3R,11bR)-configuration appeared to play a key role for VMAT2 binding. In summary, (+)-1, (+)-2, and their derivatives warrant further studies in order to develop more potent and safer drugs for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease and other hyperkinetic disorders.
