GBR 12783 can improve memory performance and increase hippocampal acetylcholine release in rats. GBR 12783 is a specific, potent and selective dopamine uptake inhibitor that inhibits the [3H]dopamine uptake by rat and mice striatal synaptosomes with IC50s of 1.8 nM and 1.2 nM, respectively.
Benzatropine is a centrally active muscarinic antagonist. It also inhibits the uptake of dopamine. It has been used in the symptomatic treatment of Parkinson's Disease.
Piroheptine HCl is an agent of anticholinergic that acts by inhibiting dopamine uptake and completely preventing loss of striatal dopamine in MPTP-treated mice.
