(–)-2β-Carbomethoxy-3β-(4-bromophenyl)tropane (RTI-4229-51,bromopane) is a semi-synthetic alkaloid in thephenyltropane group of psychostimulant compounds. First publicized in the 1990s, it has not been used enough to have gained a fully established profile. RTI-51 can be expected to have properties lying somewhere in betweenRTI-31 andRTI-55. It has a ratio of monoamine reuptake inhibition of dopamine > serotonin > norepinephrine (1.8:10.6:37.4 nM respectively) which is an unusual balance of effects not produced by other commonly used compounds (althoughRTI-121 is similar, but moreDAT selective).[1] It has been used in its76Brradiolabelled form to map the distribution of dopamine transporters in the brain.[2]
Modern research seems to confirm the above hypothesis.[3] However, earlier work produced more scattered results.[4] Based upon what is obvious from the table, RTI-31, RTI-51, and RTI-55 are all similarly potent TRIs.[5][6]

Data in above table is from rats brains (1995). More recent work has advocated using cloned human transporters.
