Abstract:
:The cocaine analog 3 beta-(4-iodophenyl)tropane-2 beta-carboxylic acid methyl ester (RTI-55 or beta CIT) has a higher affinity for the dopamine transporter and may be potentially useful in interfering with cocaine's actions in brain. However, imaging studies have demonstrated displacement of tracer doses of [123I]RTI-55 by a subsequent dose of cocaine. Similar displacement of pharmacological doses of RTI-55 might compromize therapy with RTI-55 in cocaine abuse. The reduction in dopamine transporter availability, assessed in vivo in mouse striatum using [3H]cocaine, caused by pretreatment with RTI-55 was significantly mitigated by subsequent administration of cocaine. In a similar experiment using a tracer dose of [123I]RTI-55 significant reductions of striatal radioligand binding by pretreatment with cocaine or RTI-55 were not observed. These results suggest that: (1) cocaine can displace pharmacological doses of RTI-55 from striatum, and (2) radioligands used to assess binding site occupancy should have a lower affinity than the occupying drug.
