Application

GBR 12909 dihydrochloride has been used as a dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitor:

  • to study its effects on LPS-induced mRNA expression on the proinflammatory cytokines in the mouse striatum
  • to study its effects on neurotransmitter release in zebrafish brain
  • in DA uptake assay in mice striatal fraction

Biochem/physiol Actions

GBR 12909 may show pharmacotherapeutic effects against cocaine addiction.
GBR 12909 is a highly selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor with behavioral effects similar to cocaine.
