Encyclopedia
VDM-11 is a potent cannabinoid reuptake inhibitor
. It is light-sensitive and therefore must be stored within an inert gas
such as argon
, in a dark place and at an ideal temperature of -20ºC. This gold-colored substance is rarely found outside research laboratories.
Reuptake inhibitor
A reuptake inhibitor , also known as a transporter blocker, is a drug that inhibits the plasmalemmal transporter-mediated reuptake of a neurotransmitter from the synapse into the pre-synaptic neuron, leading to an increase in the extracellular concentrations of the neurotransmitter and therefore an...

Inert gas
An inert gas is a non-reactive gas used during chemical synthesis, chemical analysis, or preservation of reactive materials. Inert gases are selected for specific settings for which they are functionally inert since the cost of the gas and the cost of purifying the gas are usually a consideration...
