Description

3-acetylbenzo[b]thiophene is an isomeric molecule that has been shown to inhibit the reuptake of dopamine by binding to the dopamine transporter. It has a high affinity for the dopamine transporter, and has been shown to be selective for this receptor. 3-acetylbenzo[b]thiophene is not toxic in mice at doses up to 150 mg/kg, and has a safety profile similar to placebo. This drug can be administered orally, which makes it more convenient than other drugs with similar pharmacokinetic properties (e.g., amphetamine). The optical properties of this compound make it suitable for confocal microscopy. 3-acetylbenzo[b]thiophene also reacts with camphor, a chemical in plants such as cinnamon and bay leaves, with photoexcited fluorescence and chemoenzymatic reactions.
