Buy 4-Fluorococaine Powder | ForeverChems – Premium Research Chemical.

Introduction to 4 Fluorococaine.

4 Fluorococaine (CAS: 134507-62-3) is a tropane derivative and a synthetic analogue of cocaine . It is characterized by the substitution of a fluorine atom at the para position of the benzoyl ester ring of the cocaine molecule. This specific structural modification produces a compound with a significantly altered pharmacological profile compared to its parent molecule .

As a research chemical, 4-Fluorococaine is primarily utilized in neuropharmacological studies, particularly in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging research, and in transporter binding assays for investigating monoamine transporter interactions. At ForeverChems, we supply premium-grade 4-Fluorococaine Powder to researchers and professionals worldwide, with a focus on fast, discreet shipping across Europe.

Chemical Properties and Mechanism of Action

4 Fluorococaine acts as a monoamine reuptake inhibitor, primarily targeting the dopamine transporter (DAT) and the serotonin transporter (SERT) . Research indicates that this compound exhibits a pharmacological profile that is distinct from cocaine in several important aspects.

Key Pharmacological Data

• Dopamine Transporter (DAT) Inhibition: 4-Fluorococaine demonstrates approximately equivalent potency to cocaine as an inhibitor of dopamine reuptake .

• Serotonin Transporter (SERT) Inhibition: The compound is a significantly more potent serotonin reuptake inhibitor than cocaine, with studies indicating an approximately 100-fold increase in SERT affinity . This results in a substantially altered DAT/SERT inhibition ratio compared to cocaine.

• Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) Interaction: 4 Fluorococaine has been characterized as both a substrate and an inhibitor of plasma butyrylcholinesterase, the enzyme responsible for the rapid hydrolytic metabolism of cocaine . This makes it a valuable tool compound for investigating BChE-mediated ester hydrolysis kinetics.

PET Imaging Applications

4-Fluorococaine has been successfully used as a positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer when labeled with fluorine-18 ([¹⁸F]4-fluorococaine) . The longer half-life of fluorine-18 (109.8 minutes) compared to carbon-11 (20.4 minutes) offers significant practical advantages for multi-step radiochemical syntheses and distribution to imaging centers without on-site cyclotrons .

The demonstration that [¹⁸F]4-fluorococaine produces PET images equivalent to [¹¹C]cocaine validates its use for probing cocaine binding sites in brain imaging studies .
