A major challenge in treating central nervous system (CNS) disorders is to achieve adequate drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Receptor-mediated nanodrug as a Trojan horse strategy has become an exciting approach. However, these nanodrugs do not accumulate significantly brain parenchyma, which greatly limits therapeutic effect of drugs. Amplifying efficiency receptor-mediated BBB becomes holy grail treatment CNS disorders.

There has been much controversy about whether the well-known alkaloid and tertiary amine base cocaine (pKa = 8.5) binds to human dopamine transporter (DAT) in its protonated form. Most potent DAT inhibitors are also strong amines─yet there some noteworthy examples where neutral analogues have high affinity, while quaternary ammonium analog of cocaine, methiodide, is a comparatively poor inhibitor. In this paper, we show that fluorescent analog, with lower pKa than becomes binding site conclude similar behavior must be expected from cocaine. By determining aspartate residue believed interact able explain apparently contradictory structure–activity data analogues.
