2′-NH2-MPTP

2′-NH₂-MPTP, also known as 2′-amino-MPTP, is a monoaminergic neurotoxin that was derived from MPTP and is used in scientific research to lesion brain monoaminergic systems in animals.^[1]^[2] Whereas MPTP is a selective dopaminergic neurotoxin, 2′-NH₂-MPTP is a specific serotonergic and noradrenergic neurotoxin that does not affect dopaminergic neurons.^[1]^[2] 2′-NH₂-MPTP is transported by the serotonin transporter (SERT) into serotonergic neurons and by the norepinephrine transporter (NET) into noradrenergic neurons, and its serotonergic and noradrenergic neurotoxicity is dependent on this transport by the SERT and NET, respectively.^[3]^[4]^[5] 2′-NH₂-MPTP was first described in the scientific literature by 1993.^[1]^[6]

Retrieved 28 September 2024. Selective neurotransmitter depletion was observed with the MPTP analog 1-methyl-4-(2'-aminophenyl)-1-(2'-NH2-MPTP) leading to marked reductions (60-70%) in levels of 5-HT, 5-HIAA and NA in frontal cortex and hippocampus while not affecting striatal DA. In contrast, 1-methyl-4-(2'- methylphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (2'-Me-MPTP) minimally affected 5-HT, 5-HIAA and NA, while markedly reducing (90%) striatal DA content [128].

PMID 15087484. SERT has some ability to transport other endogenous amines such as dopamine, and also is a drug transporter for agents that include fenfluramine, nonfenfluramine, substituted amphetamines (i.e., MDMA, and parachloroamphetamine), methcathinone, and the serotonin (but not dopamine) neurotoxin amino-MPTP [1-methyl-4-(2′-aminophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine], which enters neurons via SERT to induce persistent (months-long) reductions of serotonin accompanied by neurodegenerative changes (11–14).
