RTI-51とは 意味・読み方・使い方

(–)-2β-Carbomethoxy-3β-(4-bromophenyl)tropane (RTI-51, bromopane) is a semi-synthetic alkaloid in the phenyltropane group of psychostimulant compounds. First publicized in the 1990s, it has not been used enough to have gained a fully established profile. RTI-51 can be expected to have properties lying somewhere in between RTI-31 and RTI-55. Importantly it has a ratio of monoamine reuptake inhibition of D > S > N (1.8:10.6:37.4nM respectively) which is an unusual balance of effects not produced by other commonly used compounds (although RTI-121 is similar, but more DAT selective). It has been used in its ⁷⁶Br radiolabelled form to map the distribution of dopamine transporters in the brain.
