Application

Nomifensine maleate salt has been used to study the β-CFT (cocaine analogue) binding using human embryonic kidney 293T cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nomifensine maleate is a selective dopamine uptake inhibitor interacting with the dopamine transporter, at a site different from that of cocaine; antidepressant. Nomifensine serves as an antidepressant and is known to cause frequent hemolytic anemia. The aniline group in this compound results in blood and liver toxicities.

For over two decades, fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) has served as a reliable analytical method for monitoring dopamine release in near real-time in vivo. However, contemporary FSCV techniques have been limited to measure only rapid (on the order of seconds

The inhibition by cocaine of the apparent initial rate of the transport of striatal dopamine was compared with inhibitions produced by cocaethylene, benztropine, GBR-12909, mazindol, and nomifensine. Rotating disk electrode voltammetry was used to measure the kinetically resolved, inwardly directed
