Beschreibung

Application

Nepicastat hydrochloride has been used as an inhibitor of dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) in zinc finger protein 521 (ZFP521) deficient mice.[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

By inhibiting dopamine β-hydroxylase (DβH), nepicastat enhances dopamine levels and norepinephrine levels in brain.[2]

Nepicastat is a potent and selective dopamine β-hydroxylase inhibitor

Nepicastat is a potent and selective dopamine β-hydroxylase inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 9 nM and negligible affinity (>10 μM) for twelve other enzymes and thirteen neurotransmitter receptors tested. Nepicastat has been shown to attenuate multiple aspects of cocaine-seeking behavior and suppress cocaine-primed reinstatement of cocaine seeking in rats, and has been in clinical trials for cocaine dependence. Nepicastat also suppressed chocolate self-administration and reinstatement of chocolate seeking in rats.
