Project Details
Description
The objective of this project is to characterize the effect of valbenazine, a vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT2) inhibitor, on neurotransmitter efflux in the medial prefrontal cortex and dorsal striatum of mice: 1) to relate the neurotransmitter release to the efficacy of valbenazine to treat tardive dyskinesia (TD); 2) to understand the interaction of valbenzaine with antipsychotic drugs used to treat patients with TD; and 3) to generate ideas for possible additional indications for valbenazine.
