Vanoxerine (GBR-12909) inhibits the uptake of dopamlne (DA), with an IC50 in the low nanomolar range, and is several-fold less potent as inhibitors of the uptake of noradrenaline and 5-HT[2].
Vanoxerine (GBR-12909) is also an oral, mixed ion channel blocker with IKr, INa, and L-type calcium channel activity[3].

p38MAPK activation by dopamine (DA) can be inhibited by selective DAT blockers (Benztropine and Vanoxerine; 2 μM each) and PMAT blocker (Decynium; 2 μM). Combination of DAT and PMAT blockers further inhibits the activation of p38MAPK.
