JJC8-089 is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor (DRI) that was derived from modafinil and is related to JJC8-016, JJC8-088, and JJC8-091.[1] [2] Its affinity (Ki) for the dopamine transporter (DAT) is 37.8nM, for the norepinephrine transporter (NET) is 11,820nM (313-fold lower than for the DAT), for the serotonin transporter (SERT) is 6,800nM (180-fold lower than for the DAT), and for the sigma σ1 receptor is 2.24nM (17-fold higher than for the DAT).[3] It also has significant affinity for several dopamine receptors. JJC8-089 has substantially higher affinity for the DAT than modafinil. The drug shows pro-motivational effects in animals.[4] [5] It was first described in the scientific literature by 2016.[6] [7]
