Cayman Tetrabenazine


Product Description
Tetrabenazine is an inhibitor of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) that is selective over VMAT1 (Kis = 97 and >20,000 nM, respectively, in a serotonin uptake assay). It dose-dependently reduces levels of the monoamines norepinephrine (Item No. ), dopamine (Item No. ), and serotonin (5-HT; Item No. ) in rat brain and has been used to induce depressive-like behavior in animal models., Tetrabenazine (5 mg/kg) improves performance in balance beam and rotarod tests and prevents decreases in the number of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in a YAC128 transgenic mouse model of Huntingtons disease. Formulations containing tetrabenazine have been used in the treatment of chorea associated with Huntingtons disease.
