Description

Clomipramine (Chlorimipramine) hydrochloride is a potent 5-HT reuptake blocker with the IC50 value of 1.5 nM. Clomipramine hydrochloride is a tricyclic antidepressant that can be used for the research of depression and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)[1].

In Vitro

Clomipramine hydrochloride can inhibit reuptake of both noradrenaline and 5-HT, although Clomipramine inhibits 5-HT reuptake more strongly than it inhibits noradrenaline reuptake[1].
The antidepressant Clomipramine inhibits both venom AChE as well as human serum BChE in a concentration-dependent manner but has no effect on AChE in the rat brain striatum[2].
Clomipramine hydrochloride interferes with the autophagic flux and severely compromises the viability of tumorigenic cells upon cytotoxic stress[3].
Clomipramine hydrochloride reduces autophagy in neuronal primary cultures. Clomipramine (1 and 5 μM) hydrochloride negatively regulates neuronal autophagic pathway in primary cultured cells[3].

Western Blot Analysis[3]

Cell Line: Primary cortical neurons
Concentration: 1 and 5 µM
Incubation Time: 12, 24 and 48 hours
Result: Enhanced the LC3-I conversion to LC3-II in a concentration-dependent manner at all analyzed time points.
In Vivo

Clomipramine (5-20 mg/kg; i.p) hydrochloride elicits significant hyperglycemia in mice. Clomipramine hydrochloride induces hyperglycemia in mice by blocking the 5-HT2B and/or 5-HT2C receptors, which results in facilitation of adrenaline release. In mice, Clomipramine hydrochloride reduces immobility in the forced swimming test, which is the behavioral model for antidepressants. Clomipramine hydrochloride also inhibits the OCD animal model, marble burying behavior in mice[1].
Clomipramine (20 mg/kg) hydrochloride decreases autophagic flux in murine tissues[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: C57BL/6 J mice (6 weeks of age and 22 to 25 g)[3]
Dosage: 20 mg/kg
Administration: Treated intraperitoneally for 21 days
Result: Both LC3-II and p62 were significantly increased in the liver of Clomipramine treated mice compared to vehicle treated ones.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 3 mg/mL (8.54 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (30.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 3 mg/mL (8.54 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (30.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
