Nocaine ((+)-CPCA, 3α-carbomethoxy-4β-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-methylpiperidine) is a stimulant drug similar in structure to RTI-31, but lacking the two-carbon bridge of the tropane skeleton and with inverted stereochemistry around the carbomethoxy group. It was developed in the late 1990s,[1] and since this time a large number of substituted phenylpiperidine derivatives have been discovered, hybridizing the basic nocaine structure with that of other similar molecules such as methylphenidate, meperidine and modafinil to create a large family of derivatives with a range of activity profiles and potential applications.[2][3][4][5]

The Nocaine family includes a diverse assortment of piperidine based cocaine mimics. The parent compound Nocaine was developed in an attempt to develop a substitute drug for cocaine for the treatment of addiction, and was found to substitute for cocaine in animal models while having significantly less abuse potential itself.[6] It has some stimulant effects, but is only around one quarter to one third the potency of cocaine, and cocaine-addicted animals self administer it less often than cocaine.[7] It also blocks the action of cocaine when the two drugs are administered at the same time, and does not increase cocaine-induced convulsions.[8] This is a significant field of research with much work ongoing,[9][10][11][12][13][14] and dozens of novel compounds have been developed although none have yet come to market.
