DAT-IN-2
DAT-IN-2 is an atypical dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitor with blood-brain barrier permeability. DAT-IN-2 binds to human DAT with a Ki of 63.0 nM and stabilizes the transporter in an inward-facing conformation. DAT-IN-2 produces only weak locomotor stimulant effects and does not induce conditioned place preference in mice, indicating no rewarding effects. DAT-IN-2 can be used in research related to psychostimulant use disorder.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
DAT-IN-2 (compound 32b) binds with high affinity and selectivity to hDAT in HEK293 cell membranes[1].
DAT-IN-2 is an atypical dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitor with a Ki of 63.0 nM for hDAT[1].
DAT-IN-2 is metabolically stable in mouse and rat liver microsomes, with half-lives of 16 min and 26 min, respectively[1].

Parmacokinetics
| Species | Dose | Route | Tmax |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mice[1] | 10 mg/kg | i.p. | 0.5 h |
In Vivo
DAT-IN-2 (10-30 mg/kg; i.p.) effectively penetrates brain tissue and significantly enhances DA-dependent brain stimulation reward at a dose of 30 mg/kg; it does not produce rewarding effects in the conditioned place preference model[1].

Protocols

Transepithelial/transendothelial electrical resistance assay
TEER measures electrical resistance across epithelial or endothelial monolayers cultured on permeable supports, and the readout reflects ionic conductance through the cell barrier, especially the paracellular pathway regulated by junctional integrity. TEER can be measured without destroying the monolayer and is commonly used before or during transport, permeability, barrier-disruption, and barrier-maturation experiments. TEER values are influenced by biological maturation and technical conditions; reported factors include temperature, medium formulation, passage number, electrode geometry, membrane properties, and junctional length during early monolayer maturation. Therefore, TEER should be interpreted with blank-insert subtraction, area normalization, repeated readings, and, when possible, orthogonal barrier readouts such as FITC-dextran flux or tight-junction staining.
