AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
XENAZINE (tetrabenazine) is an oral small-molecule vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor approved in 2008 for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease. It works by depleting monoamines (dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine) in presynaptic terminals, thereby reducing involuntary movements. This unique mechanism addresses a critical unmet need in hyperkinetic movement disorders.
