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

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

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

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
