Work-flow of cryo-EM data processing of ΔN72/ΔC13 SERT/8B6 Fab/paroxetine complexes.
A representative zoomed, motion-corrected micrograph with individual single particles circled in white. Bar equals 20 nm. Motion-correction and CTF estimation was performed using MotionCor2 and Ctffind4. The number of movies/particles collected for each data set are shown in black (paroxetine), red (Br-paroxetine), and blue (I-paroxetine). After particle picking using either DoG picker or the blob picker in cryoSPARC, particles were sorted using heterogeneous refinement in cryoSPARC followed by 2D classification. For the DoG-picked particles, 3D classes containing SERT-Fab features (boxed) were combined and subjected to 2D classification. For cryoSPARC-picked particles, heterogeneous refinement was also used to initially sort particles in cryoSPARC. Classes with similar features (boxed) were combined, subjected to three independent 2D classifications, and 2D classes containing SERT-Fab features were combined. Particles picked by both methods were combined and duplicate particle-picks were removed in RELION (particle picks that are less than 100 Å of one another were considered duplicates).

3D refinement of ΔN72/ΔC13 SERT/8B6 Fab/paroxetine complexes.
For the paroxetine complex, 3D refinement was performed in RELION followed by 3D classification without alignment and a mask which isolated SERT and Fab. 3D classification was not performed on the Br-paroxetine and I-paroxetine particles. Particles were further refined using non-uniform refinement in cryoSPARC, followed by local refinement in cisTEM with a mask which isolated SERT and the Fab variable domain and removed the Fab constant domain and micelle (mask is shown overlaid in blue on top of the Br-paroxetine reconstruction). The final reconstructed volume was sharpened using Phenix local sharpening.

Full Synthetic Route to Racemic and Enantioenriched Br-Piperidine Derivatives (±)-S2a, (±)-S3a, (+)−6a, (+)−7a, (–)-S3a, (–)−8a, (+)-S4a, (–)−9a and Br-(–)-paroxetine 2.
In order to evaluate the enantiomeric excess of key intermediates (+)−6a and (+)−7a by chiral HPLC, the C–H arylation with 4-bromo iodobenzene was performed on both racemic ((±)-S1) and enantioenriched (–)−5 piperidine amide substrates (Scheme 1). The racemic synthesis was performed on a 0.5 mmol scale according to our previously reported protocol, (Antermite et al., 2018) and afforded cis-arylated derivatives (±)-S2a in 34% (Scheme 1a). A minor trans-functionalized product (±)-S3a, formed via a trans-palladacycle, (Antermite et al., 2018) was also isolated in 14%. C–H Arylation of enantioenriched substrate (–)−5 proceed smoothly on a 4.0 mmol scale, and cis- and trans-piperidine products (+)−6a and (–)-S3a were isolated as single enantiomers in very similar yields (Scheme S1b). Subsequent treatment of enantiopure cis-derivative (+)−6a with DBU at 100°C afforded the trans-diastereomer as the right-handed enantiomer (+)−7a in 94% yield.

Synthetic sequence, including the Pd-catalyzed C(4)–H arylation step, to access racemic and enantioenriched cis- and trans-piperidine amide derivatives (±)-S2a, (±)-S3a, (+)−6a, (+)−7a and (–)-S3a.
(a) C–H Arylation conditions: (±)-S1 (0.5 mmol, one equiv) Ph-CF3 (500 μL, 1 M). (b) C–H Arylation conditions: (–)−5 (4.0 mmol, one equiv), Ph-CF3 (2.0 mL, 2 M). The enantiomeric excess of alcohol intermediates (+)-S4a and (–)−8a was evaluated after aminoquinoline removal on both enantiomeric trans-derivatives (–)-S3a and (+)−7a (Scheme 2). No undesired debromination was observed for the reductive aminoquinoline removal, and enantiopure alcohols (+)-S4a and (–)−8a were obtained in 70% and 77% yield, respectively. No erosion of enantiopurity should be expected after this step, given the literature precedents on the synthesis of (–)-paroxetine (Amat et al., 2000) and the absence of acidic protons in the substrate. Therefore, the synthesis was continued exclusively on alcohol derivative (–)−8a. O-Alkylation and Boc-deprotection with HCl finally afforded enantiopure Br-(–)-paroxetine analogue two as the corresponding hydrochloride salt in 12% yield over eight steps from commercial material.

Reductive aminoquinoline removal and final steps in the synthesis of Br-(–)-paroxetine 2.
(a) AQ removal on enantiomerically pure trans-piperidine (–)-S3a (0.2 mmol, one equiv). (b) AQ removal on enantiomerically pure trans-piperidine (+)−7a (1.1 mmol, one equiv) and final steps in the synthesis of Br-(–)-paroxetine 2. Full Synthetic Route to Racemic and Enantioenriched I-Piperidine Derivatives (±)-S2b, (±)-S3b, (+)−6b, (+)−7b, (–)-S3b, (–)−8b, (+)-S4b, (–)−9b and I-(–)-paroxetine 3 Similarly to the Br-analogue, C–H arylation with 1,4-diiodobenzene was performed on both racemic ((±)-S1) and enantioenriched ((–)−5) piperidine amide substrates (Scheme 3). The reaction proceeded well on both substrates affording racemic cis- and trans-arylated products (±)-S2b and (±)-S3b in 35% and 19% yield, and enantioenriched cis- and trans-derivatives (+)−6b and (–)-S3b in 35% and 20% yield respectively.

Synthetic sequence, including the Pd-catalyzed C(4)–H arylation step, to access racemic and enantioenriched cis- and trans-piperidine amide derivatives (±)-S2b, (±)-S3b, (+)−6b, (+)−7b and (–)-S3b.
(a) C–H Arylation conditions: (±)-S1 (0.5 mmol, one equiv) Ph-CF3 (500 μL, 1 M). (b) C–H Arylation conditions: (–)−5 (4.0 mmol, one equiv), Ph-CF3 (2.0 mL, 2 M). Reductive aminoquinoline cleavage was again performed to access enantiomeric trans-piperidine alcohols (+)-S4b and (–)−8b (Scheme 4). In both cases, a small degree of LiAlH4-mediated dehalogenation was observed, and an inseparable mixture of the desired product and 10–15% of deiodinated material was isolated. However, the contaminant could be effectively removed after O-Alkylation, affording the pure aryl ether derivative (–)−9b in 71% yield. Final HCl-mediated Boc deprotection formed the desired I-(–)-paroxetine three as the corresponding HCl salt in 81% yield (12% yield over eight steps from commercial material).
