Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Deserpidine is a rauwolfia alkaloid structurally related to reserpine that irreversibly blocks vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2). This prevents storage of norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin in synaptic vesicles, depleting monoamine levels and reducing sympathetic tone.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in VMAT2 pathway studies, monoaminedepletion modelling, antihypertensive mechanism research, neurotransmitterstorage assays and naturalalkaloid SAR investigations.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include depression, sedation, hypotension, bradycardia, GI upset, nasal congestion and extrapyramidal symptoms. Handle with VMATmodulator safety procedures.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
