| Targets |
Valbenazine tosylate targets the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2). VMAT2 is responsible for transporting monoamines (dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine) from the cytosol into synaptic vesicles for storage and subsequent release. Valbenazine is a potent, selective, and specific inhibitor of VMAT2 with a Ki value of 150 nM, displaying no significant binding to VMAT1 (Ki < 10 μM). It has minimal off-target interactions at more than 80 other receptor transporters and ion channels.

| ln Vitro |
Valbenazine demonstrates VMAT2 binding affinity in rat striatum and human platelets with Kis of 110 and 150 nM, respectively[1].
In vitro, valbenazine is a potent, selective, and specific inhibitor of VMAT2 with a Ki of 150 nM, with no inhibition of the related VMAT1 transporter. It exhibits VMAT2 binding affinity in rat striatum and human platelets with Kis of 110 and 150 nM, respectively. The compound has minimal off-target interactions at more than 80 other receptor transporters and ion channels. |
| ln Vivo |
When given orally to rats, valbenazine (10 mg/kg) causes ptosis (mostly an adrenergic reaction) and raises plasma prolactin (mainly a dopaminergic response)[1].
In vivo, valbenazine (10 mg/kg; orally) induces ptosis (primarily an adrenergic response) and increases plasma prolactin (primarily a dopaminergic response) in rats. The compound has a half-life of approximately 20 hours that supports once-daily dosing. Valbenazine is approved by the FDA for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia and has demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The VMAT2 binding assay for valbenazine involves incubating the compound with membrane preparations from cells expressing human VMAT2 or rat striatal membranes and a radiolabeled VMAT2 ligand (such as [³H]-dihydrotetrabenazine). After incubation, bound and free ligands are separated by filtration, and the radioactivity is counted. The Ki for displacement of the radioligand is calculated from the competition curve. Selectivity is assessed by testing against VMAT1 and other transporters.
|
| Cell Assay |
To evaluate the cellular activity of valbenazine, cells expressing human VMAT2 are incubated with varying concentrations of the compound and a fluorescent monoamine substrate (such as [³H]-dopamine). The uptake of the substrate into synaptic vesicles is measured by scintillation counting after lysis of the cells and separation of vesicles. The IC50 for inhibition of monoamine uptake is calculated. Alternatively, the compound's effect on monoamine release can be assessed using neurotransmitter release assays.

| Animal Protocol |
NANA
The in vivo efficacy of valbenazine is evaluated in rodent models of tardive dyskinesia, such as the haloperidol-induced vacuous chewing movements (VCM) model in rats. Animals are treated with haloperidol to induce orofacial dyskinesia, and then administered valbenazine orally at various doses. The number of VCMs is counted over a specified period. The compound's ability to reduce VCMs is expressed as the percentage inhibition relative to vehicle-treated controls. Plasma prolactin levels are measured as a pharmacodynamic marker. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Valbenazine is orally bioavailable with a half-life of approximately 20 hours that supports once-daily dosing. Specific pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g., Cmax, Tmax, AUC) are not detailed in the available sources. The compound has a molecular weight of 762.97 and a molecular formula of C38H54N2O10S2. As a powder, it is stable at -20°C for 3 years.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Valbenazine is generally well-tolerated, with common adverse effects including somnolence, fatigue, and akathisia. As a VMAT2 inhibitor, it reduces dopamine storage and release, which underlies its therapeutic effect in tardive dyskinesia. The compound is approved by the FDA for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia. Specific toxicity data from preclinical studies are not detailed in the available sources.
