A set of 1‐(arylalkyl)quinolizidines, isosteric thioanalogues, and variously functionalized congeners were synthesized (see 1 – 25 ) and tested for affinity to sigma 1 and sigma 2 receptor subtypes, by displacing [ 3 H]‐ (+)‐pentazocine and [ 3 H]DTG from guinea pig brain and rat brain preparations, respectively. All compounds exhibited a good affinity for the σ 1 subtype, with subnanomolar K i values for the best of them, while only modest or poor affinity for the σ 2 subtype was observed ( Tables 1 and 2 ). Some structureactivity relationships were put forward.
