General description

4-Benzylpiperidine is dopamine-selective releaser. It is a potential candidate for treatments for cocaine dependence.

Application

4-Benzylpiperidine was used to study the metabolism of 1,3-butadiene and its oxidized metabolites in perfused livers of male B6C3F1 mice and Sprague-Dawley rats.
Reactant for synthesis of:
  • Antiproliferatives
  • GABA uptake inhibitors
  • Pyridines
  • Histamine H3 antagonists
  • Multipotent drugs with cholinergic and neuroprotective properties for the treatment of Alzheimer′s and neuronal vascular diseases
  • Antiserotoninergic, antiplatelet, hemorheologic, antiarrythmic and antioxidant molecules via nucleophilic substitution

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Benzylpiperidine inhibits the activity of rat brain monoamine oxidase-A and -B.
