Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short by simply answering these key questions:
Can you list the top facts and stats about RTI-121?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
(–)-2β-Carboisopropoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl)tropane (RTI-4229-121, IPCIT) is a stimulant drug used in scientific research, which was developed in the early 1990s.[1] RTI-121 is a phenyltropane based, highly selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor[2] and is derived from methylecgonidine. RTI-121 is a potent and long-lasting stimulant, producing stimulant effects for more than 10 hours after a single dose in mice[3] which would limit its potential uses in humans, as it might have significant abuse potential if used outside a medical setting. However RTI-121 occupies the dopamine transporter more slowly than cocaine, and so might have lower abuse potential than cocaine itself.[4]
