DSP-4, or N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-ethyl-2-bromobenzylamine, is a monoaminergic neurotoxin selective for noradrenergic neurons, capable of crossing the blood–brain barrier.[1]
It exerts transient effects in peripheral sympathetic neurons, but more permanent changes within neurons of the central nervous system. It can induce long-term depletion in cortical and spinal levels of noradrenaline.[2]
