Table 1. Inhibitory constants (IC50) for transport inhibitors in hDAT, hNET, and GFP-SmDAT.

Transiently transfected COS-7 cells were incubated for 10 min with increasing concentrations of the indicated inhibitor, followed by the addition of [3H]DA to give a final concentration of 50 nM [3H]DA. Putative substrates were not pre-incubated but instead incubated directly with 50 nM [3H]DA. The uptake was allowed to continue for 10 min at 20°C before washing. IC50 values were calculated from at least five experiments performed in duplicate. Values are given in µM and represent Mean ± SEM.
