SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION O The present invention provides a compound having the H1-1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexylcyclohexyl-piperidine Structure (TCP). an analog of the dissociative anesthetic phencyclid ine (PCP), binds with high affinity to two sites in guinea pig brain membranes, one of which is MK-801 sensitive and one of which is not. The MK-801-sensitive site (PCP site 1) is 5 associated with NMDA receptors. The MK-801-insensitive site (PCP site 2) is thought to be associated with biogenic amine transporters (BAT) (Rothman, R. B., et al. Mol. Pharmacol. 36: 887-896 (1989); Akunne. H. C. et al. Synapse 8: 289-300 (1991); Rothman. R. B., et al.

Res. 17:261-264 (1992)). 25 Based upon the association of PCP site 2 with BATs. a 7- CH2; drugs with high affinity for PCP site 2 would be expected to inhibit the reuptake of biogenic amines. and R2 is The present invention is directed to classes of compounds 30 which bind selectively and potently to PCP site 2 and also have activity as biogenic amine transport blockers.
