JNJ-7925476 (original) (raw)

JNJ-7925476 is a triple reuptake inhibitor antidepressant discovered by Johnson & Johnson, but never marketed. These molecules were first prepared by Bruce E. Maryanoff and coworkers during the late 1970s–1980s. The structure is a isoquinoline core, with an overlaid benzhydryl motif. There is some confusion over the nomenclature and cis/trans isomeric relationship at the piperidine ring. The compounds as depicted have the carbon of the pyrrolidine carbon and the phenyl cis, but Maryanoff and coworkers are of the opinion that the compound is trans. (see abstract)
