The current studies sought to better characterize the onset of cocaine-induced DA uptake inhibition and to compare these effects to those obtained with the high-affinity, long-acting DA transporter inhibitor, GBR-12909 (1-(2-bis (4-fluorphenyl)-methoxy)-ethyl)-4-(3-phenyl-propyl) piperazine).

For dopaminergic neurons, uptake by the high-affinity dopamine transporter (DAT) is the most effective mechanism, and the contribution of glial COMT remains secondary under normal conditions.
In the present study we have characterized the role of COMT using COMT-deficient mice in conditions where DAT is inhibited by 1-[2-[bis (4-fluorophenyl) methoxy] ethyl]-4-(3-phenylpropyl)-piperazine (GBR 12909) or cocaine.

Modulation of the dopamine (DA) transporter inhibitor GBR-12909 effect on DA release by protein kinases and protein phosphatases was studied in slices of the rat caudate nucleus measuring DA outflow in the superfusate of static chambers.
These results suggest a complex and strong influence of phosphorylation on GBR-12909 effects on calcium channel-dependent DA outflow at low-affinity piperazine binding sites in slices of the rat caudate nucleus in vitro.

These results suggest that systemic administration of a single dose of 1-BnTIQ increases striatal extracellular dopamine concentration through activation of dopaminergic nigra striatal neurons via the dopamine transporter.
This 1-BnTIQ-induced increase in extracellular dopamine concentration was also inhibited by pre-treatment with a dopamine uptake inhibitor, GBR12909 (1-(2-[bis (4-Fluorophenyl)-4-(3-phenylpropyl) piperazine dihydrochloride).

12023554 Baumann MH, Ayestas MA, Sharpe LG, Lewis DB, Rice KC, Rothman RB: Persistent antagonism of methamphetamine-induced dopamine release in rats pretreated with GBR12909 decanoate. J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2002 Jun;301(3):1190-7.

At the molecular level, methamphetamine promotes DA release by a nonexocytotic diffusion-exchange process involving DA transporter (DAT) proteins.
We have shown that blocking DAT activity with high-affinity DA uptake inhibitors, such as 1-[2-[bis (4-fluorophenyl) methoxy] ethyl]-4-(3-phenylpropyl) piperazine (GBR12909), can substantially reduce amphetamine-induced DA release in vivo.

We characterized undifferentiated (UN) and three differentiation conditions of the SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line for phenotypic markers of dopaminergic cells, sensitivity to the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridinium ion (MPP+), the requirement to utilize the dopamine (DA) transporter (DAT) for MPP+ toxicity, and the neuroprotective effects of pramipexole.
RA/TPA differentiated cells evidenced high sensitivity to the neurotoxic effects of MPP+ (0.03 to 3.0 mM), and the neurotoxic effects of MPP+ were blocked with the DAT inhibitor 1-(2-[bis (4-fluorophenyl) methoxy] ethyl)-4-(3-phenylpropyl) piperazine (GBR 12909).

14978248 Gaffaney JD, Vaughan RA: Uptake inhibitors but not substrates induce protease resistance in extracellular loop two of the dopamine transporter. Mol Pharmacol. 2004 Mar;65(3):692-701.

Changes in protease sensitivity of extracellular loop two (EL2) of the dopamine transporter (DAT) during inhibitor and substrate binding were examined using trypsin proteolysis and epitope-specific immunoblotting.
However, in the presence of the dopamine uptake blockers [2-(diphenylmethoxyl) ethyl]-4-(3phenylpropyl) piperazine (GBR 12909), mazindol, 2beta-carbomethoxy-3beta-(4-flourophenyl) tropane (beta-CFT), nomifensine, benztropine, or (-)-cocaine, 100- to 1000-fold higher concentrations of trypsin were required to produce comparable levels of proteolysis.

J Med Chem. 2003 May 22;46(11):2205-15.

One of the enantiomers, compound S,S-(-)-19a, exhibited the highest potency for the DAT (IC50 = 11.3 nM) among all the compounds tested and was as potent as GBR 12909 (1-[2-[bis (4-fluorophenyl) methoxy] ethyl]-4-(3-phenylpropyl) piperazine).
All novel compounds were tested for their affinity at the dopamine transporter (DAT), serotonin transporter (SERT), and norepinephrine transporter (NET) in the brain by measuring their potency in competing for the binding of [3H] WIN 35 428, [3H] citalopram, and [3H] nisoxetine, respectively.

The effect of methylphenidate was mediated by increased extracellular levels of DA instead of norepinephrine because this effect was not altered by the coadministration of prazosin, an alpha (1) receptor antagonist, and was mimicked by the application of DA transporter blockers, nomifensine and 1-2 (-[bis (4-flurophenyl) methoxy] ethyl)-4-(3-phenyl) piperazine dihydrochloride (GBR 12909).

In this study, we found that the selective inhibitor of dopamine transporter (DAT) function, 1-[2-[bis (4-fluorophenyl) methoxy] ethyl]-4-(3-phenylpropyl) piperazine (GBR 12909, vanoxerine), but not the selective inhibitors of serotonin and norepinephrine (SERT and NET) transporters, sertraline and nizoxetine, emulated cocaine-mediated enhancement of Tat neurotoxicity in rat fetal midbrain primary cell cultures.

15496938 Baumann MH, Clark RD, Budzynski AG, Partilla JS, Blough BE, Rothman RB: N-substituted piperazines abused by humans mimic the molecular mechanism of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, or 'Ecstasy'). Neuropsychopharmacology. 2005 Mar;30(3):550-60.

Recent evidence reveals that drug users are ingesting piperazine analogs, like 1-benzylpiperazine (BZP, or 'A2') and 1-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl) piperazine (TFMPP, or 'Molly'), to mimic psychoactive effects of MDMA.
The effects of MDMA, BZP, and TFMPP on transporter-mediated efflux of [3H] 5-HT and [3H] MPP+ (DA transporter substrate) were determined in synaptosomes.

The ability of MDMA, BZP, and TFMPP to stimulate efflux of [3H] 5-HT and [3H] MPP+ (a DA transporter substrate) was determined in vitro using release assays in synaptosomes.

Perfusion of the nucleus accumbens for 60 min with the dopamine uptake inhibitors, 1-[2-[bis (4-Fluorophenyl) methoxy] ethyl]-4-[3-phenylpropyl] piperazine dihydrochloride (GBR 12909; 100 microm) or 1-[2-(Diphenylmethoxy) ethyl]-4-(3-phenylpropyl)-piperazine dihydrochloride (GBR 12935; 100 microm) alone, increased the extracellular levels of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens to 400% and 350% of basal, respectively.

However, well-characterized piperazine and tropane radioligands failed to recognize DAT in pig brain; the two tropane radioligands lacked pharmacological specificity for DAT and SERT in pig brain in vitro and in vivo.

11578899 Ishiwata K, Kobayashi T, Kawamura K, Matsuno K, Senda M: [11C] Raclopride binding was reduced in vivo by sigma (1) receptor ligand SA4503 in the mouse brain, while [11C] SA4503 binding was not by raclopride. Nucl Med Biol. 2001 Oct;28(7):787-92.


[11C] Raclopride is widely used as a representative dopamine D (2)-like receptor ligand in positron emission tomography (PET) studies, and [11C] 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-4-(3-phenylpropyl) piperazine dihydrochloride ([11C] SA4503) is a recently developed selective ligand for mapping sigma (1) receptors in the brain.

Both measures of mitochondrial dysfunction induced by MPP+ (40 nmol) at 18 h were attenuated, at least in part, by pretreatment with a selective dopamine uptake inhibitor GBR-12909 (1-(2-(bis (4-fluorophenyl) methoxy) ethyl)-4-(3-phenylpropyl) piperazine).
