Abstract
Cocaine and several sigma receptor ligands inhibit dopamine uptake via a common site. This is evidenced by a concentration-dependent inhibition of dopamine uptake and displacement of the binding of [3H]WIN 35,428 (also called CFT), a cocaine analog with high affinity for the dopamine transporter. Since several sigma receptor ligands have been shown to block the stimulant effects of cocaine, this site may serve as a target for future drug development to treat cocaine abuse.Entities:
