Clozapine N-oxide CAS:34233-69-7 Manufacturer Price

Clozapine N-oxide is a metabolite of the antipsychotic medication clozapine. It has gained attention in research for its potential use in optogenetics, a technique that uses light to control cells in living tissue, typically neurons. In optogenetic studies, clozapine N-oxide can be used to control the activity of designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs), which are engineered molecular switches that respond to clozapine N-oxide. This application allows researchers to manipulate specific neural circuits and study their function. Additionally, clozapine N-oxide has also been studied for its potential therapeutic effects in psychiatric and neurological disorders.
