ABSTRACT
A series of substituted naphthyl containing chiral [2.2.1] bicycloheptanes were prepared utilizing asymmetric Diels-Alder chemistry. This paper describes structure-activity relationships in this series. The N-methyl 2-naphthyl analogue (16d) and its des-methyl analogue (17d) are active triple re-uptake inhibitors both in vivo and in vitro.

ABSTRACT
Several isoquinoline-based templates were identified from the studies of the conformational effects of the diketopiperazine structures for PAI-1 inhibition. Moderate to good activity was retained with the elimination of unattractive characteristics in the diketopiperazine template.
