| Tetrabenazine |
Tetrabenazine is a synthetic derivative of benzylquinolizine that causes depletion of dopamine and other monoamines in the central nervous system. The precise mechanism by which tetrabenazine exerts its effects is unknown, but is believed to be related to its effect as a reversible depletor of monoamines (such as dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and histamine) from nerve terminals. Neurotransmitter depletion by a single dose of tetrabenazine is reversible and lasts only a few hours. |
