| Description | Deutetrabenazine metabolite M4 is believed to be related to its effect as a reversible depletion of monoamines from nerve terminals. The major circulating metabolites of Deutetrabenazine, are reversible inhibitors of VMAT2, resulting in decreased uptake of monoamines into synaptic vesicles and depletion of monoamine stores. |
