The mechanisms of interaction between lobeline and the dopamine transporter (DAT) or the vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT-2) are not clear. The goal of this study was to elucidate the effects of lobeline on these transporters in a cell system co-expressing the DAT and VMAT-2. Lobeline caused release of [(3)H]dopamine to a similar extent as reserpine (VMAT-2 inhibitor), but was less efficacious than methamphetamine or dopamine. Additionally, lobeline decreased the [(3)H]dopamine-releasing effects of methamphetamine, unlike reserpine which increased release by methamphetamine. These results suggest that lobeline has unique properties at the DAT and VMAT-2 which may make it useful as a pharmacotherapeutic to treat methamphetamine abuse.
洛贝林与多巴胺转运体(DAT)或囊泡单胺转运体(VMAT-2)之间的相互作用机制尚不清楚。本研究的目的是在共表达DAT和VMAT-2的细胞系统中阐明洛贝林对这些转运体的影响。洛贝林引起的[³H]多巴胺释放程度与利血平(VMAT-2抑制剂)相似,但效力低于甲基苯丙胺或多巴胺。此外,与利血平增加甲基苯丙胺的释放不同,洛贝林降低了甲基苯丙胺的[³H]多巴胺释放作用。这些结果表明,洛贝林在DAT和VMAT-2上具有独特的性质,这可能使其成为治疗甲基苯丙胺滥用的有效药物。
