Tetrabenazine [CAS: 58-46-8] treats hyperkinetic movement disorders such as chorea in Huntington’s disease, Tourette syndrome, tardive dyskinesia, hemiballismus, and senile chorea.
Tetrabenazine: Use and Commercial Availability
Tetrabenazine is an inhibitor of the human vesicular monoamine transporter type 2. It manages hyperkinetic movement disorders and tardive dyskinesia characterized by involuntary movements.
Tetrabenazine is available under Xenazine, which contains the active ingredient, Tetrabenazine.
Tetrabenazine Structure and Mechanism of Action 
The chemical name of Tetrabenazine is rel-(3R,11bR)-1,3,4,6,7,11b-Hexahydro-9,10-dimethoxy-3-(2-methylpropyl)-2H-benzo[a]quinolizin-2-one. Its chemical formula is C19H27NO3, and its molecular weight is approximately 317.4 g/mol.
The precise mechanism of action of Tetrabenazine is unknown.
Tetrabenazine Impurities and Synthesis
During the Tetrabenazine preparation1, impurity formation is possible, compromising its effectiveness. They can arise from various sources, including the raw materials, intermediates, and chemicals utilized to synthesize Tetrabenazine. Close management and monitoring of impurities ensure the drug’s efficacy and safety.
Daicel offers a wholesome and integrated Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for Tetrabenazine impurity standards, encompassing (+) α-Dihydro tetrabenazine, (+) β -Dihydro tetrabenazine, Tetrabenazine Related Impurity 3, and more. The CoA provides detailed characterization data, including 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, MASS, and HPLC purity. Additionally, we give a detailed 13C-DEPT on delivery. With advanced technology and expertise, Daicel can synthesize any unknown Tetrabenazine impurity or degradation products. We also supply labeled compounds, facilitating the quantification of generic Tetrabenazine efficacy. For bioanalytical research and BA/BE studies, we also offer deuterium-labeled Tetrabenazine standards, 9-Desmethyl Tetrabenazine-D3, 9-desmethyl α-dihydro tetrabenazine D3, Deutetrabenazine DTBRC-4, Dihydrodeutetrabenazine-D6, α-Dihydro Deutetrabenazine, and β-Dihydro Deutetrabenazine.
