Rationale: Cocaine dependence is a major health concern and there are no effective pharmacotherapies currently available. Although cocaine is an indirect DA agonist that binds to all three monoamine transporters, there is much evidence implicating a greater role for the dopamine (DAT) than norepinephrine (NET) and serotonin (SERT) transporters in the behavioral effects of cocaine. As such, several groups have developed compounds that exhibit high affinity and selectivity for the DAT. Objective…

It is suggested that the S(+)-MDPV enantiomer is likely responsible for the majority of the biologic effects of the racemate and should be targeted in therapeutic efforts against MDPV overdose and abuse.

Assessment of cocaine-like interoceptive effects of synthetic cathinone analogues functioning as passive monoamine reuptake inhibitors (naphyrone) or as releasers (mephedrone) in mice suggests that synthetic cath inones likely elicit psychostimulant-like abuse-related effects.

The data suggest that the discriminative-stimulus effects of cocaine are more closely related to actions mediated by high-affinity binding to the dopamine transporter than they are to actions mediating by the low-Affinity site.

Results suggest that inhibition of DA uptake is involved in the discriminative stimulus properties of cocaine since compounds that act by inhibiting DA uptake rather than through some other mechanism mimic cocaine and the reported affinities of these drugs for the DA transport site and their order of potency in blocking cocaine are identical.

The results indicate that the behavioral pharmacology of RTI-113 is similar to that of cocaine, further implicating a prominent role for dopamine uptake inhibition in the behavioral effects of cocaine.

The results support a role for norepinephrine uptake and alpha-1 adrenoceptor mechanisms in the DS effects of cocaine, possibly reflecting a facilitory noradrenergic influence on mesocorticolimbic dopamine activity.
