Decynium-22 is a

monoamine transporters such as the dopamine transporter and norepinephrine transporter.[2]

Transporter inhibition

Decynium has been shown to have a very high affinity to organic cation transporters in a variety of species, including human,[3][4] rat,[5] and pig.[6] Decynium-22 has been shown to block the uptake of the neurotoxin

astrocytes.[7]

Fluorescence

Decynium-22 emits a low

excitation spectrum of these aggregates. Decynium-22 fluorescence caused by aggregation can be observed in astrocytes.[2]

Schizophrenia and depression

Decynium-22 has recently been investigated for its role in increasing

5-HT transporter
(SERT), although it is also taken up by auxiliary transporters, known as "uptake 2", which include OCT and PMAT.

The most commonly prescribed antidepressant drugs are the

knock-out mice, which resulted in an improvement of social behavior.[11] When OCT3 was knocked out in mice, however, decynium-22 was ineffectual, indicating that the anti-depressant effects of decynium-22 are dependent upon its blockage of the OCT3.[10]
