SKF-83566 (0.1 μM-10 μM) causes a concentration-dependent increase in peak evoked extracellular DA concentration ([DA]o) evoked by single-pulse stimulation, with a maximum 65% increase in peak evoked [DA]o with 5 μM. The EC50 value of this effect of SKF-83566 is 1.3 μM.
SKF-83566 inhibited [H]DA uptake with an IC50 of 5.73 μM. Moreover, SKF-83566 more potently inhibits the binding of [H]CFT, a cocaine analog, with an IC50 of 0.51 μM in [H]DA uptake and [H]CFT binding studies.
Similarly, in LLc-PK-rDAT cell, SKF-83566 also inhibits [H]CFT binding with an IC50 of 0.77 μM in LLc-PK-rDAT cell membrane preparations.
