It is speculated that because the experience of the high is associated with the fast uptake of cocaine and methylphenidate in the brain, the slow clearance ofethylphenidate from the brain may serve as a limiting factor in promoting its frequent self-administration.

Investigation of the ability of lapatinib to reverse tumor multidrug resistance (MDR) due to overexpression of ABC subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) and ABCsubfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) transporters found it reverses ABCB1- and ABCG2-mediated MDR by directly inhibiting their transport function.
Erlotinib (Tarceva, OSI-774) antagonizes ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 and ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2-mediated drug resistance.

It is concluded that erlotinib reverses ABCB 1- and ABCG2-mediated MDR in cancer cells through direct inhibition of the drug efflux function of ABCB1 andABCG2.

The mesolimic DA D3 receptor plays an important role in mediating stress-induced reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior and is investigated in rats allowed to self-administer cocaine for 10–14 days.
