| Bioactivity | Vanoxerine (GBR-12909) is a competitive, potent, and highly selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor (Ki=1 nM). Vanoxerine (GBR-12909) binds to the target site on the dopamine transporter (DAT)[1]. |
| Target | Ki: 1 nM (dopamine reuptake) |
| Invitro | Vanoxerine (GBR-12909) 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 (GBR-12909) is also an oral, mixed ion channel blocker with IKr, INa, and L-type calcium channel activity[3]. |
| In Vivo | Vanoxerine (GBR-12909) (2.5-20 mg/kg; i.p.) significantly increases the ambulatory activity[3]. Animal Model: |
