Application

GBR 12935 dihydrochloride has been used as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor to study its effects on noradrenergic stimulation in the medial prefrontal cortex of rats (mPFC). It has also been used as a selective dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitor to study its effects on behavior and neurochemical response in enriched condition (EC) and impoverished condition (IC) rats.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GBR 12935 inhibits the dopamine and norepinephrine transporters with Kis of 21.5 nM and 225 nM, respectively. It does not inhibit the serotonin transporter (Ki = 6.5 mM). GBR 12935 binds to a nondopaminergic piperazine site in blood platelets and brain that has been identified as cytochrome P450.

The presence of multiple [3H]GBR-12935 binding sites in the human brain has been revealed in several recent studies. One site represents the dopamine uptake site. In rat brain it was demonstrated that [3H]GBR-12935 also binds to nondopaminergic "piperazine acceptor sites."

Effects of destroyed noradrenergic (NE) innervation in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) were examined on dopamine (DA) content and metabolism. Six-hydroxy-DOPA (6-OHDOPA) or 6-hydroxy-dopamine (6-OHDA) in combination with a potent DA reuptake inhibitor GBR 12935 or 6-OHDA were injected bilaterally

It remains controversial whether blood platelet can be used as a peripheral model for the central presynaptic dopaminergic neurons. We investigated the existence of dopamine transport complex in human blood platelet membranes using the selective dopamine uptake inhibitor [3H]GBR 12935

The binding of [3H]1-[2-(diphenylmethoxy)ethyl]-4-(3-phenyl propyl) piperazine (GBR-12935), an antagonist of the dopamine transporter, to human P450s expressed in yeast cells was investigated. Among the ten forms of human P450 tested (CYP1A1, 1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C18, 2D6, 2E1, and

Rats raised in an enriched condition (EC) during development display increased hyperactivity to the effect of acute amphetamine compared to rats raised in an impoverished condition (IC). The present study determined whether environmental enrichment differentially alters the effects of GBR
