Description

(±)-Salsolinol (Hydrochloride) CAS NO 79923-51-6 is a synthetic derivative of the endogenous compound salsolinol, widely utilized as a key research chemical in neuroscience and pharmacology. Its primary value lies in serving as a potent and selective dopamine-derived neurotoxin and a reference standard for studying Parkinson's disease models and catecholamine metabolism. This compound is essential for researchers and developers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and academic sectors focused on neurodegenerative disorders, neurochemistry, and drug discovery.

Application

• Neuroscience Research: Critical tool for inducing and studying Parkinsonian symptoms in cellular and animal models by selectively targeting dopaminergic neurons.
• Pharmacological Studies: Used as a reference standard to investigate the mechanisms of neurotoxicity, oxidative stress, and apoptosis related to catecholamines.
• Biochemical Analysis: Serves as an analytical standard in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry for the quantification of salsolinol and related tetrahydroisoquinolines in biological samples.
• Drug Discovery & Development: Employed in screening assays to evaluate potential neuroprotective agents and therapies aimed at mitigating dopaminergic cell death.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Fundamental reagent for universities and research institutes conducting studies on the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases.
• Toxicology Investigations: Applied in research to understand the role of endogenous neurotoxins in substance abuse and alcohol addiction.
