Xylamine is a monoaminergic neurotoxin and benzylamine derivative that is closely related to DSP-4.[1][2] It is a relatively selective noradrenergic neurotoxin, which is attributed to its high affinity for the norepinephrine transporter (NET).[1] DSP-4 is generally preferred over xylamine for use in scientific research and hence xylamine is limitedly employed.[1] Xylamine was first described in 1975.[2][3]
