| Targets |
The primary target of GBR 12935 is the dopamine transporter (DAT), where it potently binds to inhibit dopamine reuptake. This compound exhibits high selectivity for DAT: in rat striatal membranes, it has a Ki of 3.7 nM for DAT; in COS-7 cells, it has a Kd of 1.08 nM. The binding affinity for the norepinephrine transporter (NET) is Ki = 630 nM, and for the serotonin transporter (SERT) Ki = 2,090 nM, demonstrating >500-fold selectivity for DAT. Additionally, GBR 12935 has moderate affinity for sigma non-opioid intracellular receptor 1 (IC₅₀ = 17 nM) and exhibits specific binding to human CYP2D6.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro studies demonstrate that GBR 12935 functions by inhibiting DAT-mediated dopamine reuptake. In the nucleus accumbens, 10 nM GBR 12935 elevates extracellular dopamine levels to approximately 400% of basal values within 2 minutes of application. This compound dose-dependently inhibits [³H]-dopamine uptake in rat striatal homogenates, with a pIC₅₀ of 7.74 at the human DAT (IC₅₀ ≈ 18 nM). In nucleus accumbens homogenates, 1-9 nM GBR 12935 dose-dependently inhibits active [³H]dopamine uptake. Furthermore, GBR 12935 also inhibits dopamine uptake into brain synaptic vesicles (concentrations of 34-45 nM required, one order of magnitude higher than for neuronal uptake inhibition).

| ln Vivo |
In vivo studies demonstrate that GBR 12935 dose-dependently increases locomotor activity in mice. In C57BL/6J and DBA/2J inbred mouse strains, intraperitoneal administration of GBR 12935 (10 mg/kg) significantly enhances locomotor activity compared to vehicle, but does not induce stereotypy at any tested dose. Unlike cocaine, GBR 12935 does not induce sensitization to stereotypy following repeated injections. Additionally, injection of GBR 12935 into the rostral agranular insular cortex of rats produces dose-dependent antinociception and prevents the d-fenfluramine-induced head-twitch response in mice. This compound also inhibits GABA-induced chloride influx and antagonizes the effects of muscimol on rat cerebellar Purkinje cells.

| Enzyme Assay |
DAT Competition Binding Assay: Prepare rat striatal membranes, incubate with varying concentrations of GBR 12935 (0.01-100 μM) and [¹²⁵I]-RTI-55, detect radioactivity by filtration and liquid scintillation counting, and calculate a Ki of 3.7 nM for DAT.
Sigma Receptor Binding Assay: Use [³H]-(+)-pentazocine as radioligand and frozen guinea pig brain membranes as receptor source, incubate with varying concentrations of the compound, and determine an IC₅₀ of 17 nM for the σ1 receptor.
CYP2D6 Binding Assay: Incubate human liver microsomes enriched in CYP2D6 with [³H]-GBR 12935, separate by ultracentrifugation, and detect bound radioactivity.

| Cell Assay |
Dopamine Uptake Inhibition Assay (Synaptosomes): Dissect rat striatum and homogenize in ice-cold buffer, centrifuge to obtain crude synaptosomal fraction. Incubate synaptosomes with varying concentrations of GBR 12935 and [³H]-dopamine for 15 minutes at 37°C, filter and detect radioactivity to determine uptake inhibition.
Dopamine Uptake Inhibition Assay (Cell Lines): Use HEK293 cells expressing the human dopamine transporter, incubate with varying concentrations of the compound and [³H]-dopamine, and determine an IC₅₀ of 18 nM.
Synaptic Vesicle Uptake Assay: Isolate brain synaptic vesicles, incubate with 34-45 nM GBR 12935 and [³H]-dopamine, and detect inhibition of dopamine uptake into vesicles.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Animal Models: Use adult male DBA/2J and C57BL/6J mice (22-30 g) for behavioral studies.
Dosing Regimen: Dissolve GBR 12935 fumarate in saline and administer via intraperitoneal injection. Dose range is 1-40 mg/kg. For repeat injection studies, administer daily for 7 days.
Behavioral Assessment: Measure locomotor activity (distance traveled) and stereotypy for 120 minutes using an automated activity monitoring system. In the rat rostral agranular insular cortex injection model, assess antinociception using the formalin test.
Data Analysis: Compare locomotor activity, stereotypy, and dopamine levels between treatment and control groups.
