The phencyclidine (PCP) derivative, [3H]N-[1-(2-benzo[b]thiophenyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine ([3H]BTCP), was used to label in vivo the dopamine uptake complex in mouse brain. The striatum accumulated the highest level of total and specific binding. Drugs which bind to the dopamine uptake site inhibited [3H]BTCP

1-[1-(2-Benzo[b]thiopheneyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine hydrochloride (BTCP) and cocaine bind to the neuronal dopamine transporter (DAT) to strongly inhibit dopamine (DA) reuptake. Although similar to acute administration, cocaine and BTCP produce sensitization and tolerance, respectively, on chronic administration. We previously found that liver microsomes

The present study was designed to investigate the modulatory effect of gonadal steroids on brain dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) presynaptic transporters in female and male rats. Female and male rats were castrated and treated with either vehicle or gonadal

Phencyclidine (PCP) inhibits dopamine (DA) uptake and acts as a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist by binding to PCP receptors. The PCP analog N-[1-(2-benzo(b)thiophenyl) cyclohexyl]piperidine (BTCP, GK13) is a potent DA uptake inhibitor, but has low affinity for PCP receptors. The behavioral

Molecular mechanics calculations using MM3-92 and ab initio quantum mechanical calculations using SPARTAN 5.0 were performed on the structurally similar PCP and BTCP, in which only the latter has a cocaine-like pharmacological profile as a dopamine reuptake blocker. Calculations were
