Cross species computational analysis of dopamine and MPP plus binding to the dopamine transporter elucidates mechanisms of MPTP induced neurotoxicity

2026-01-08

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) induces parkinsonism through its toxic metabolite, 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+), which structurally mimics dopamine and enters dopaminergic neurons via the dopamine transporter (DAT). Although zebrafish are increasingly used as an MPTP-induced parkinsonian model due to their genetic and functional similarity to humans, direct mol...
