Applications RTI-55 is a semi-synthetic alkaloid that is a cocaine analogue belonging to the phenyltropane group. RTI-55 acts as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor (DRI) with siginificant abuse potential. RTI-55 is used to assess the rate of dopamine neuron degradation in the brains of patients with Parkinson’s disease.

Fenitrothion-d6 (O,O-dimethyl-d6) is a deuterated compound of Fenitrothion. Fenitrothion has a CAS number of 122-14-5. Fenitrothion is an organothiophosphate cholinesterase inhibitor. Fenitrothion is used as an insecticide.

Cyproheptadine hydrochloride (Periactin hydrochloride) is a hydrochloride salt form of cyproheptadine which is a histamine receptor antagonist.

(+)-Tomoxetine hydrochloride is a bioactive chemical.

Ketanserinol is a metabolite of the antihypertensive drug ketanserin, which blocks 5-HT2 receptors to treat protamine-induced pulmonary hypertension.

Biperiden lactate is a biochemical.

VU0029767 is an allosteric enhancer of the M1 muscarinic receptor, capable of modulating the receptor's activity. This compound enhances M1 receptor activity by increasing agonist affinity. However, VU0029767 demonstrates distinct characteristics from other compounds, particularly under varying experimental conditions such as its interaction with mutated M1 receptors and its effects on downstream signaling pathways.

Applications A new modulator of dopamine neurotransmission. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain. Drugs that act at central dopamine receptors are commonly used in the treatment of neurologic and psychiatric disorders.

Applications 6S-Nalfurafine is a stereoisomer of Nalfurafine (N255600), a on-narcotic opioid drug for intractable itch caused by hemodialysis. It showed significant opioid κ-agonist activity and induced neither aversion nor preference in rats on the CPP (Conditioned Place Preference) test. Nalfurafine is a new therapeutic agent for the treatment of uremic pruritus in hemodialysis patients.
