Psychostimulants, Brain Membrane Lipids and Dopamine Transmission
Chronic abuse of psychoactive drugs produces profound changes in neurotransmitter transporters and receptors, which have been associated with manifestations of many addiction phenotypes such as tolerance/sensitization, dependence and withdrawal (see reviews in [1]). Although the molecular mechanisms underlying psychostimulant-induced changes in transporters and receptors remain elusive, emergin...
متن کاملMultiple ionic conductances of the human dopamine transporter: the actions of dopamine and psychostimulants.
Electrophysiological and pharmacological studies of a cloned human dopamine transporter (hDAT) were undertaken to investigate the mechanisms of transporter function and the actions of drugs at this target. Using two-electrode voltage-clamp techniques with hDAT-expressing Xenopus laevis oocytes, we show that hDAT can be considered electrogenic by two criteria. (1) Uptake of hDAT substrates gives...
متن کاملAmphetamine induces dopamine efflux through a dopamine transporter channel.
Drugs of abuse, including cocaine, amphetamine (AMPH), and heroin, elevate extracellular dopamine (DA) levels in the brain, thereby altering the activity/plasticity of reward circuits and precipitating addiction. The physiological release of DA occurs through the calcium-dependent fusion of a synaptic vesicle with the plasma membrane. Extracellular DA is cleared by uptake through the Na+/Cl- -d...
متن کاملDifferent Binding Mechanisms of Dopamine Transporter Inhibitors
DAT inhibitors have at least two different binding mechanisms (Scheme 1): fast ligand binding following the conventional equilibrium scheme (i) and their binding effectiveness is described by the KA values; two-step binding, after initial fast binding step the ligand induces protein conformation change (ii) [2]. This extra step consists of a slow protein conformational change, enhancing the app...
