Usage

Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 28094-15-7 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. 6-Hydroxydopamine is a selective catecholaminergic neurotoxin. Studies show that 6-Hydroxydopamine can be used to create an animal model of Parkinson's disease as it causes almost complete destruction of nigral dopaminergic neurons and their striatal terminals when injected into the substantia nigra of rats. 6-Hydroxydopamine induces apoptosis in PC12 cells.
2. 6-hydroxydopamine hydrochloride has been used:to induce Parkinson′s disease (PD) in ratsto analyse cytotoxic effect of 6-OHDA on PC12 cell lineto induce noradrenergic (NA) neuron deletion from the locus-coeruleus

Air & Water Reactions

Hygroscopic. Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

A weak acid. Materials in this group are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Many of these compounds catalyze organic reactions.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition 6-HYDROXYDOPAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE emits very toxic fumes.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for 6-HYDROXYDOPAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE are not available. 6-HYDROXYDOPAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE is probably combustible.

Biological Activity

Selective catecholaminergic neurotoxin. Depletes brain catecholamine levels via uptake and accumulation by a transport mechanism specific to these neurons. Causes almost complete destruction of nigral dopaminergic neurons and their striatal terminals when injected into the substantia nigra of rats, producing an animal model of Parkinson's disease.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Neurotoxin that destroys catecholaminergic terminals.
