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.

Mesolimbic dopamine (DA) signaling has been implicated in the incentive, reinforcing and motivational aspects of food intake. Insulin receptors are expressed on dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA), and insulin may act in the VTA to suppress feeding.
