1) Cat. No.: TRC-S099995; 2) Chemical Name: rac Salsolinol, Hydrobromide; 3) CAS No.: 59709-57-8; 4) Mol. Formula: C10H14BrNO2; 5) Mol. Weight: 260.13; 6) Packing Size: 100mg / 1g; 7) Appearence: Off-White to Pale Yellow Solid; 8) Application Notes: Salsolinol is derived from the neurotransmitter dopamine and acetaldehyde.  Interest in this molecule comes from studies suggesting that it might be involved in alcohol addiction, as acetaldehyde is both a well recognized substrate for the Pictet-Spengler reaction and the primary metabolite of ethanol in the liver.  It has further been suggested that acetaldehyde formed as a result of alcohol consumption might induce central changes in the metabolism of dopamine.; 9) Synonym: 1-Methyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline; 10) Solubility: DMSO, Methanol, ; 11) Storage condition: Hygroscopic, -20C Freezer, Under Inert Atmosphere; 12) References: J.
