Valbenazine |
The mechanism of action of valbenazine for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia and chorea in patients with Huntington’s disease is unclear, but is thought to be mediated through the reversible inhibition of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), a transporter that regulates monoamine uptake from the cytoplasm to the synaptic vesicle for storage and release. |
