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.

Among the best-replicated and most heritable endophenotypes of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are deficits in attention, inhibitory response control and larger intra-individual variability in response latencies. Here, we explored the presence of these heritable ADHD endophenotypes in two commonly used inbred

Impulsivity is associated with a number of psychiatric disorders, most notably attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Drugs that augment catecholamine function (e.g. methylphenidate and the selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor atomoxetine) have clinical efficacy in ADHD, but their precise mechanism of action
