1. [3H]N-[1-(2-Benzo(b)thiophenyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine ([3H]BTCP) labels in vivo the dopamine uptake complex in the mouse striatum. 2. In mice treated with gamma-butyrolactone (GBL, 400 mg/kg), [3H]BTCP specific binding was increased and ID50 values of BTCP and cocaine for the prevention of [3H]BTCP

Piperidine and cyclohexyl ring homologues of the high-affinity dopamine (DA) uptake inhibitor 1-[1-(2-benzo[b]thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine (BTCP, 3) were each prepared in four steps from the appropriate cycloalkanones. These compounds were tested for their ability to displace [3H]BTCP and [3H]cocaine and to inhibit
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

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

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
