Tetrabenazine is a reversible, high-affinity inhibitor of vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2). By blocking VMAT2 in presynaptic nerve terminals, it inhibits the packaging and storage of monoamines (dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine), leading to depletion of monoamine stores and reducing hyperkinetic involuntary movements. Indicated for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease and refractory tardive dyskinesia.
