'''GBR-13119''' is a [[psychoactive drug]] and [[research chemical]] of the [[diphenylmethane]] class. It acts as a potent and selective [[dopamine reuptake inhibitor]] (DRI) and is the most selective DRI known, with 1,000-fold selectivity for dopamine over [[norepinephrine]] and [[serotonin]]. GBR-13119 was developed in the 1980s by the pharmaceutical company [[G.D. Searle & Company]].

GBR-13119 is a potent inhibitor of the [[dopamine transporter]] (DAT), which is responsible for the reuptake of dopamine in the [[synapse]]. By blocking this transporter, GBR-13119 increases the amount of dopamine available in the synapse, leading to increased [[dopaminergic]] activity.
