1-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-pentan-1-one (Pyrovalerone) analogues: a promising class of monoamine uptake inhibitors

PC Meltzer, D Butler, JR Deschamps… - Journal of medicinal …, 2006 - ACS Publications
Dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine are essential for neurotransmission in the mammalian
system. These three neurotransmitters have been the focus of considerable research …

Further evidence of dopamine transporter dysregulation in ADHD: a controlled PET imaging study using altropane

…, DD Dougherty, AA Bonab, E Livni, PC Meltzer… - Biological …, 2007 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: The dopamine transporter (DAT) is known to be a key regulator of dopamine,
and recent studies of genetics, treatment, and imaging have highlighted the role of DAT in …

Rapid detection of Parkinson's disease by SPECT with altropane: a selective ligand for dopamine transporters

…, RJ Callahan, SA Barrow, W Graham, PC Meltzer… - Synapse, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
Increasing evidence indicates that dopamine (DA) transporter density declines in
Parkinson's disease (PD). 2β‐Carbomethoxy‐3β‐(4‐fluorophenyl)‐n‐(1‐iodoprop‐1‐en‐3‐yl) …

2-Carbomethoxy-3-aryl-8-oxabicyclo [3.2. 1] octanes: potent non-nitrogen inhibitors of monoamine transporters

PC Meltzer, AY Liang, P Blundell… - Journal of medicinal …, 1997 - ACS Publications
Cocaine is a potent stimulant of the mammalian central nervous system. Its reinforcing and
stimulant properties have been associated with its propensity to bind to monoamine …

The discovery of an unusually selective and novel cocaine analog: Difluoropine. Synthesis and inhibition of binding at cocaine recognition sites

PC Meltzer, AY Liang, BK Madras - Journal of medicinal chemistry, 1994 - ACS Publications
Cocaine is a stimulant drug with a high abuse liability. Although it inhibits several monamine
transporters in the mammalian brain, its primary mechanism of action has been ascribed to …

2-Carbomethoxy-3-aryl-8-bicyclo [3.2. 1] octanes: potent non-nitrogen inhibitors of monoamine transporters

PC Meltzer, P Blundell, YF Yong, Z Chen… - Journal of medicinal …, 2000 - ACS Publications
Cocaine is a potent central nervous system stimulant with severe addiction liability. Its
reinforcing and stimulant properties derive from inhibition of monoamine transport systems, in …

A technetium-99m SPECT imaging agent which targets the dopamine transporter in primate brain

PC Meltzer, P Blundell, AG Jones… - Journal of medicinal …, 1997 - ACS Publications
The dopamine transporter (DAT), located presynaptically on dopamine neurons, provides a
marker for certain neurological diseases. In particular, the DAT is depleted in Parkinson's …

Altropane, a SPECT or PET imaging probe for dopamine neurons: III. Human dopamine transporter in postmortem normal and Parkinson's diseased brain

…, LM Gracz, MA Fahey, D Elmaleh, PC Meltzer… - Synapse, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
Increasing evidence suggests that the dopamine transporter is situated almost exclusively on
dopamine neurons. Accordingly, it is an valuable marker for Parkinson's disease and other …

Synthesis and evaluation of dopamine and serotonin transporter inhibition by oxacyclic and carbacyclic analogues of methylphenidate

PC Meltzer, P Wang, P Blundell… - Journal of medicinal …, 2003 - ACS Publications
Methylphenidate (Ritalin) binds stereoselectively and enantioselectively to the dopamine
transporter (DAT) and inhibits dopamine reuptake with in vitro and in vivo potency similar to …
