Serotonin uptake in cerebral cortex cultures: imipramine-like inhibition by N-isopropyl-p-iodoamphetamine

Journal Article · · Exp. Neurol.; (United States)
In cultured rat neocortex, uptake of (/sup 3/H)serotonin (5-HT) and the SPECT radiopharmaceutical N-isopropyl-p-(/sup 123/I)iodoamphetamine (IMP) was demonstrated after 4 and 14 days in vitro. Both imipramine and cold IMP inhibited (/sup 3/H)5-HT uptake. Uptake of (/sup 123/I)IMP was inhibited by imipramine but not by cold 5-HT. The similarity in the behaviors of IMP and imipramine indicates that uptake of IMP might be related to a serotonergic uptake system in a way that is similar to that in which imipramine is related to such a system.
