  • Fluorescent substrates for neurotransmitter transporters
    Patent number: 8647827
    Abstract: The invention is based on the finding that IDT307 and analogs thereof are fluorescent substrates transported by several neurotransmitter transporters. Provided are methods for the analysis of neurotransmitter transport and binding using IDT307 and its analogs. The invention also provides rapid methods for screening for modulators of neurotransmitter transport.
    Type: Grant
