Decynium-22 is a
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]
