ABSTRACT
Previous research has demonstrated therapeutic potential for VMAT2 inhibitors in rat models of methamphetamine use disorder. Here, we report on the neurochemical and behavioral effects of 1-(2-methoxyphenethyl)-4-phenethypiperazine (JPC-141), a novel analog of lobelane. JPC-141 potently inhibited (Ki = 52 nM) [3H]dopamine uptake by VMAT2 in striatal vesicles with 50 to 250-fold greater selectivity for VMAT2 over dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin plasmalemma transporters. Also, JPC-141 was 57-fold more selective for inhibiting VMAT2 over [3H]dofetilide binding to hERG channels expressed by HEK293, suggesting relatively low potential for cardiotoxicity. When administered in vivo to rats, JPC-141 prevented the METH-induced reduction in striatal dopamine content when given either prior to or after a high dose of METH, suggesting a reduction in METH-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity. In behavioral assays, JPC-141 decreased METH-stimulated locomotor activity in METH-sensitized rats at doses of JPC-141 which did not alter locomotor activity in the saline control group. Moreover, JPC-141 specifically decreased iv METH self-administration at doses that had no effect on food-maintained responding. These findings support the further development of VMAT2 inhibitors as pharmacotherapies for individuals with methamphetamine use disorder.
