Product Information
| Description: | Tetrabenazine Racemate (Ro 1-9569 Racemate) is a selective and reversible inhibitor of vesicular monoamine transporter-2 (VMAT-2). (1) The reference for administration is 0.25-0.75 mg/kg IP (2) Injections of tetrabenazine into accumbens core also reduced FR5 lever pressing and increased chow intake. (3) Tetrabenazine (Racemate) reduced extracellular DA and altered DARPP-32 signaling in both substance-P- and enkephalin-containing accumbens neurons. (4) Tetrabenazine (Racemate) inhibits locomotor activity and produces hypothermia upon systemic administration in rats and mice. |
| 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. |
