Detailed explanation-1: -Cocaine inhibits the re-uptake of synaptic dopamine and serotonin, as well as norepinephrine by binding with high affinity to the serotonin transporter (SERT), dopamine transporter (DAT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET).
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, cocaine acts by binding to the dopamine transporter, blocking the removal of dopamine from the synapse.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dopamine antagonist drugs include: chlorpromazine (Thorazine) metoclopramide (Reglan) promethazine (Phenergan)
Detailed explanation-4: -Cocaine increases dopamine levels by inhibiting reuptake through the dopaminergic transporter. However, this mechanism is insufficient to account for all of the actions of cocaine on the dopaminergic system.
