The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is soliciting proposals

from qualified organizations having the capability to design and

synthesize compounds which affect primarily dopaminergic systems and

either substitute for cocaine or antagonize its effects.  The project

shall involve the synthesis of any of the following: dopamine uptake

inhibitors with a slower rate of onset than cocaine; compounds which

affect dopaminergic systems through the inhibition of dopamine or

serotonin transporters;  serotonin transporter selective cocaine

analogs;  dopamine partial agonists, agonists, and antagonists;  and

dopamine sparing cocaine antagonists (compounds that bind to the

dopamine transporter without inhibiting dopamine uptake); and

compounds selective for D1 and D3 receptors.  The project shall also

provide for the scale-up production, and analog synthesis, of

promising compounds.  The major goal of this project is to provide

NIDA with a resource of novel compounds with potential use in the

treatment of cocaine abuse.  It is anticipated that six cost

reimbursement, term type contracts will be awarded for a period of

two years, with two one-year options.  This requirement is a partial

set-aside for small business, i.e., three of the awards will be made

to small businesses.
