GBR-12935 (1-{2-benzhydryloxyethyl}-4-(3-phenylpropyl)piperazine) is a potent and selective inhibitor of dopamine transporter. Gist-Brocades originally initiated studies of GBR-12935 for the treatment of cocaine dependence. Tritium-labeled GBR-12935 may be used in radioligand binding studies. GBR-12935 is considered to be the metabolite of vanoxerine, another piperazine dopamine uptake inhibitor.
