| Bioactivity | Vanoxerine dihydrochloride (GBR-12909 dihydrochloride) is a competitive, potent, and highly selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor (Ki=1 nM). Vanoxerine dihydrochloride (GBR-12909 dihydrochloride) binds to the target site on the dopamine transporter (DAT)[1]. |
| Target | Ki: 1 nM (dopamine reuptake) |
| Invitro | Vanoxerine dihydrochloride (GBR-12909 dihydrochloride) inhibits the uptake of dopamlne (DA), with an IC50 in the low nanomolar range, and is several-fold less potent as inhibitors of the uptake of noradrenaline and 5-HT[2]. Vanoxerine dihydrochloride (GBR-12909 dihydrochloride) is also an oral, mixed ion channel blocker with IKr, INa, and L-type calcium channel activity[3]. |
| In Vivo | Vanoxerine dihydrochloride (2.5-20 mg/kg; i.p.) significantly increases the ambulatory activity[3]. Animal Model: |
