CAS Number: 195875-84-4
Format: Encapsulated Monoamine Transporter Inhibitor
Chemical Description
Tesofensine is a serotonin–noradrenaline–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SNDRI) belonging to the phenyltropane class of compounds. Chemically, it acts by binding to the presynaptic monoamine transporters (DAT, SERT, and NET), thereby preventing the clearance of neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft. This mechanism leads to increased extracellular concentrations of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. It is widely used in neuroscience research to investigate the kinetics of triple reuptake inhibition and its downstream effects on central autonomic signaling pathways.
Research Applications
This compound is strictly for laboratory research use in the study of:
- Neurotransmitter Transporter Kinetics: Investigation of the binding affinity (Ki) and inhibition constants (IC50) for dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine transporters in vitro.
- Synaptic Signaling Modulation: Research into the sustained activation of post-synaptic receptors due to elevated monoamine availability in neuronal models.
- Central Metabolic Signaling: In vitro analysis of sympathetic nervous system markers and thermogenic gene expression markers regulated by noradrenergic pathways.
