nocaine
it is interesting that nocaine which essentially lacks a lot of the locomotor activity of cocaine and is being investigated as a cocaine theraputic Cocadone al la methadone is the trans isomer of clarkes phenyl piperidine cocaine analogs (4-beta phenyl 3-alpha methoxycarbonyl), the cis isomer with the stereochemical configuration of the win series and cocaine is probably of more interest from a stimulant rather than anti cocaine point of view.
the cis trans mixture produced from arecoline via grignard at RT is also very ineffective as a locomotor stimulant in rats, suggesting that whilst the trans has reasonable DAT inhibitor activity it is not a good stimulant. the predominantly cis product produced at low temperatures is however an active stimulant and has been reported in some forensic literature.
