DSP 4 is a selective neurotoxin selective for noradrenergicneurons in the locus coeruleus noradrenergic system and capable of crossing the blood–brain barrier and cyclizes to a reactive aziridinium derivative that is accumulated into the noradrenergic ne
PSAM (pharmacologically selective actuator module) agonist. Activates PSAML141F-GlyR chimeric ion channels. Inhibits activity of neurons expressing PSAML141F-GlyR in vivo and activates locus coeruleus noradrenergicneurons expressing PSAML141F,Y115F-5-HT3 ion channels. Recommended concentration for use in mice is 5 mg kg or lower. Plasmid vectors for the transfection of cells with PSAML141F-GlyR and PSAML141F,Y115F-5-HT3 are available from Addgene.

FFN 270 is a fluorescent false neurotransmitter (FFN). Fluorescent substrate for NET and VMAT2. Labels noradrenergicneurons and their synaptic vesicles, and enables imaging of synaptic vesicle content release from specific axonal sitesin vivo. Selectively labels NA neurons over other monoamine and CNS targets. Exhibits two resolved absorption/excitation maxima depending on solvent pH (excitation maxima: 320 nm or 365 nm, emission maxima: 475 nm).
