Background

Ki: 19 and 64 nM for VGlut andVMAT, respectively

Rose Bengal is a potent VGlut and vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT) inhibitor.

The common biochemical l-glutamate (Glu) is widely recognized as the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate CNS. Proper Glu transmission plays a critical role in physiological brain functions, such as learning and memory formation as well as basic neural communication.

In vitro: Rose Bengal was a quite potent membrane-permeant inhibitor of glutamate uptake into isolated synaptic vesicles. Such vesicular Glu uptake inhibition was achieved without affecting H1-pump ATPase. It was found that various degrees of reduction elicited by Rose Bengal in [3H]Glu in synaptic vesicles inside the synaptosome [1].

In vivo: The distribution of i.v. administered rose bengal was found to depend on its dose. At a low dose, rose bengal could be found almost solely in the liver and plasma. However, at higher doses, the amount of rose bengal found in extra-hepatic tissues gradually increased. The hepatic transfer maximum of rose bengal amounted to 146 micrograms/kg/min. By increasing the dose from 10 to 200 mg/kg, the hepatic concentration of rose bengal also approached a maximum. The storage capacity of the liver, however, did not limit the transfer maximum of rose bengal [1].

Clinical trial: N/A
