Description

Desipramine hydrochloride is an inhibitor of norepinephrine transporter (NET), 5-HT transporter (SERT) and dopamine transporter (DAT) with Kis of 4, 61 and 78,720 nM, respectively.

IC50 & Target

Ki: 4 nM (NET), 61 nM (SERT), 78720 nM (DAT)[1]

In Vivo

Treatment of rats with Desipramine hydrochloride for 14 days reduces norepinephrine transporter (NET) expression in a dose-dependent manner, as indicated by a reduction of the specific binding of 3H-nisoxetine to the NET in preparations of cerebral cortex (F(3,16)=4.33, p<0.05) and hippocampus (F(3,16)=4.34, p<0.05). This NET down regulation is observed 2 days after discontinuation of chronic Desipramine hydrochloride treatment, a time when plasma and brain concentrations of Desipramine hydrochloride and desmethyldesipramine are undetectable (ie below the 25 ng detection limit of the assay)[2].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.26 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.26 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  PBS

    Solubility: 1 mg/mL (3.30 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C

Animal Administration
[2]

Rats are anesthetized with ketamine (100 mg/kg) and xylazine (10 mg/kg) and implanted subcutaneously with osmotic minipumps preloaded with either vehicle (50% saline, 40% DMSO, and 10% ethanol) or Desipramine hydrochloride at a concentration that delivered 5, 10, or 15 mg/kg per day of the free base. Minipumps are removed, under anesthesia, 14 days later. Rats are tested for antidepressant-like behavior in the forced-swim test 2 to 8 days after pump removal and discontinuation of Desipramine hydrochloride treatment. Following the completion of the behavioral tests, rats are killed by decapitation, their brains are removed, and cerebral cortex and hippocampus are dissected for neurochemical analyses[2].

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.
