Product Information
| Description: | Fenclonine (4-Chloro-DL-phenylalanine) is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of tryptophan hydroxylase, a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of serotonin. Fenclonine (4-Chloro-DL-phenylalanine) acts pharmacologically to deplete endogenous levels of serotonin. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
