Chemical structure of GBR-13119

GBR-13119 is a chemical compound that acts as a potent and selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor. It is part of the piperazine class of drugs and has been studied for its potential use in the treatment of various neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

GBR-13119 functions primarily by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine in the brain. This action increases the concentration of dopamine in the synaptic cleft, thereby enhancing dopaminergic neurotransmission. The compound binds to the dopamine transporter (DAT) with high affinity, preventing the reabsorption of dopamine into the presynaptic neuron.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

The mechanism of action of GBR-13119 involves its interaction with the dopamine transporter (DAT). By binding to DAT, GBR-13119 blocks the reuptake of dopamine, leading to increased levels of dopamine in the synaptic cleft. This results in prolonged dopaminergic signaling, which can affect various physiological and behavioral processes.

Potential Therapeutic Uses[edit | edit source]

GBR-13119 has been investigated for its potential therapeutic applications in several conditions, including:

Research and Development[edit | edit source]

Research on GBR-13119 has primarily focused on its pharmacological properties and potential therapeutic benefits. Studies have shown that it can effectively increase dopamine levels in the brain, which may be beneficial in treating disorders characterized by dopamine dysregulation.

Safety and Side Effects[edit | edit source]

As with other dopamine reuptake inhibitors, GBR-13119 may have side effects related to its dopaminergic activity. Potential side effects include:

Related Compounds[edit | edit source]

GBR-13119 is structurally related to other piperazine derivatives, such as GBR-12909 and GBR-12935, which also act as dopamine reuptake inhibitors.
