Mecamylamine (Inversine) is a nonselective and noncompetitive antagonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors that was introduced in the 1950s as an antihypertensive drug.[1]
Chemically, it is a secondary aliphatic amine, with a pKa of 11.2[2]

Pharmacology and Clinical Applications[edit]
Mecamylamine has been used as an orally-active ganglionic blocker in treating autonomic dysreflexia and hypertension,[3] but, like most ganglionic blockers, it is more often used now as a research tool.
Mecamylamine is also sometimes used as an anti-addictive drug to help people stop smoking tobacco,[4] and is now more widely used for this application than it is for lowering blood pressure. This effect is thought to be due to its blocking α3β4 nicotinic receptors in the brain. It has also been reported to bring about sustained relief from tics in Tourette's Disorder when a series of more usually used agents had failed [22].
In a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II trial in Indian patients with major depression, (S)-mecamylamine (TC-5214) appeared to have efficacy as an augmentation therapy. This is the first substantive evidence that shows that compounds where the primary pharmacology is antagonism to neuronal nicotinic receptors will have antidepressant properties.[5][6] TC-5214 is currently in Phase III of clinical development as an add-on treatment and on stage II as a monotherapy treatment for major depression. The first results reported from the Phase III trials showed that TC-5214 failed to meet the primary goal and the trial did not replicate the effects that had been encouraging in the Phase II trial.[7][8] Development is funded by Targacept and AstraZeneca.[9] It did not produce meaningful, beneficial results on patients as measured by changes on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale after eight weeks of treatment as compared with placebo.
(S)-(+)-Mecamylamine dissociates more slowly from α4β2 and α3β4 receptors than does the (R)-(-)-enantiomer.[10]
A large SAR study of mecamylamine and its analogs was reported by a group from Merck in 1962.[11] Another, more recent SAR study was undertaken by Suchocki et al.[12]
A comprehensive review of the pharmacology of mecamylamine was published in 2001.[13]
Toxicology[edit]
LD50 for the HCl salt[14] in mice: 21 mg/kg (i.v.); 37 mg/kg (i.p.); 96 mg/kg (p.o.).[15]
Chemistry[edit]
Mecamylamine is synthesized from camphene, which is reacted under Ritter reaction conditions with hydrogen cyanide in concentrated sulfuric acid, giving N-(2,3,3-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl)formamide, the reduction of which by lithium aluminum hydride leads to mecamylamine.[11][16][17]
Since there have been some studies to examine the differences between the pharmacological properties of the two mecamylamine enantiomers, and interest in the possible therapeutic application of one of these (see "Pharmacology and Clinical Applications", above), a few comments on the stereochemistry of mecamylamine may be useful.
The synthesis of "mecamylamine" reported by Stone et al., and shown in the reaction scheme above, began with racemic camphene.[11]
The attachment of the nitrogen substituent to C-2 via the Ritter reaction could, in principle, lead to two different geometrical isomers, endo- and exo-, depending on the geometry of addition of the nitrogen atom with respect to the two different bridges in the bicyclic part of the molecule. Each of these geometrical isomers would be racemic because the starting camphene was racemic. In practice, only one racemic geometrical isomer, believed to be the exo-isomer on theoretical grounds, was isolated from the reaction, and this substance was given the name "mecamylamine".[18] Racemic mecamylamine was also resolved into its two enantiomers using d-camphorsulfonic acid, and the resulting enantiomers then converted into their respective hydrochloride salts, with the following specific rotations and melting points:[11]
(+)-mecamylamine.HCl: [α] = + 20.6° (c = 1.5%, CHCl3); m.p. 262-264°.
(-)-mecamylamine.HCl: [α] = - 20.6° (c = 1.5%, CHCl3); m.p. 258°.
The melting point of the racemic HCl salt was 246-247°.
Many years later, Schonenberger and co-workers at the NIH separated racemic mecamylamine (which they obtained from Paul Anderson at Merck) into its enantiomers using a method different from that of Stone et al., noting that the latter method was inefficient in their hands.
The specific rotations and melting points obtained by these chemists are as follows:
(+)-mecamylamine.HCl: [α] = + 20.1° (c = 1.7%, CHCl3); m.p. 259-260°.
(-)-mecamylamine.HCl: [α] = - 20.0° (c = 2.2%, CHCl3); m.p. 259-260°.
It was noted in passing that the corresponding free bases had the opposite signs of optical rotation.
The NIH group also carried out a crystallographic analysis of the levorotatory hydrochloride, and established its absolute configuration to be (1S, 2R, 4R), in which the nitrogen is attached to the C-2 position.[19] This then corresponds to "exo-R-(-)-mecamylamine", the full IUPAC name becoming (1S, 2R, 4R)-N-methyl-(2,3,3-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)amine, and that of its enantiomer (1R, 2S, 4S)-N-methyl-(2,3,3-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)amine.[20][21]
The two exo-isomers of mecamylamine are shown below:
To date (June 2012), syntheses of either of the two endo-isomers (see below) corresponding to mecamylamine have not been reported in the primary literature.
