Reserpine-d9 (CAS 84759-11-5)

Reserpine-d9, also known as 9-deoxo-reserpine, is a synthetic compound utilized in a wide range of research applications, particularly within scientific research and laboratory experiments. This compound is derived from reserpine, an alkaloid found in the Rauwolfia serpentina plant. Its primary function lies in inhibiting the vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT). This transporter is responsible for the uptake of monoamine neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, into synaptic vesicles. By binding to the VMAT, Reserpine-d9 effectively hinders the uptake of monoamine neurotransmitters, leading to a reduction in their levels within the synaptic cleft. Consequently, this interference causes a decrease in neurotransmission and subsequently diminishes the impact of monoamine neurotransmitters on behavior and cognition. Overall, Reserpine-d9′s mechanism of action impacts the neurochemical signaling pathways, influencing various aspects of brain function and altering the way behaviors and cognitive processes are regulated.
