GBR-12935 is a potent and selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor, belonging to the piperazine derivative class. Initially developed in its tritiated form, it was primarily used to map the distribution of dopaminergic neurons in the brain by selectively labeling dopamine transporter proteins. This application has been instrumental in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, although more selective radioligands like Ioflupane (123I) are now preferred for this purpose. GBR-12935 is extensively utilized in animal research to investigate Parkinson’s disease and the dopamine pathways in the brain.
