(–)-2β-Carbomethoxy-3β-(4'-chlorophenyl)tropane (RTI-4229-31) is a synthetic
A further advantage, in addition to potency of this compound, is that its duration of activity is longer than for cocaine. It could therefore be considered within the context as an agonist based therapy for treating cocaine addiction, although it is actually
Binding and uptake selectivity
Based on the uptake of tritiated biogenic monoamine
The binding ligand affinities for the different transporters is skewed somewhat in favor of the DAT; there may be some bias in the data. The reason for this could be that WIN35428 is relatively easier to displace from the DAT versus paroxetine from the SERT, because of the higher binding constant of the former compound.
Also it needs to be borne in mind the idea of transporter promiscuity.[2] It may be possible that the NE levels are raised, at least in part, through DAT blockade.
RTI-31 lies somewhere in the middle of the table between troparil on one end and RTI-55 on the other. It is not as selective as RTI-113 for the DAT, but is more selective than Dichloropane is for this transporter. RTI-31 also has some muscarinic acetylcholine agonist activity.
