Description

Opipramol (Ensidon) is an atypical tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). Opipramol acts primarily as a sigma (σ) receptor agonist and can potently interact with sigma recognition sites with a Ki value of 50 nM. Opipramol can be used for the research of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)[1][2].

IC50 & Target

Ki: 50 nM (σ receptor); IC50: 5.5 μM ([3H] DA)[1].

In Vitro

Opipramol can potently interact with sigma recognition sites with a Ki value of 50 nM[1].
Opipramol inhibit the uptake of [3H] DA in crude synaptosomal preparations with an IC50 value of 5.5 μM[1].

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

In Vivo

Opipramol (i.p.; 5-50 mg/kg) increases dopamine release in vivo[2].

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

Animal Model: Sprague-Dawley rats (male, 150-l 80 g)[2]
Dosage: 5-50 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injections
Result: Increased the levels of DOPAC and HVA in the striatum of the rat, without changing the steady-state levels of DA.
Potently increased the metabolism of dopamine in the striatum, olfactory tubercle and pyriform cortex of the rat.
Increased plasma prolactin in the rat, only at a dose as large as 50 mg/kg dose.

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 (6.88 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.

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.
