Paroxetine  (Synonyms: BRL29060)

Cat. No.: HY-122272 Purity: 99.92%
SDS COA Handling Instructions

Paroxetine is an oral inhibitor that falls under the category of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Paroxetine is also a very weak norepinephrine (NE) reuptake inhibitor, capable of inducing cell apoptosis and having anti-tumor activity. Paroxetine has antidepressant, anti-anxiety, and pain-relieving effects, and it can help improve conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, premenstrual anxiety, and chronic headaches.

    Description

    Paroxetine is an oral inhibitor that falls under the category of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Paroxetine is also a very weak norepinephrine (NE) reuptake inhibitor, capable of inducing cell apoptosis and having anti-tumor activity. Paroxetine has antidepressant, anti-anxiety, and pain-relieving effects, and it can help improve conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, premenstrual anxiety, and chronic headaches[1][2][3][4].

    In Vitro

    Paroxetine (10-30 μM, 72 h) reduces the viability of MCF-7 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner[1].
    Paroxetine (10-30 μM, 1-12 h) induces mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis in MCF-7, increasing ROS generation[1].

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

    Western Blot Analysis[1]

    Cell Line: MCF-7
    Concentration: 0, 10, 30 μM
    Incubation Time: 12 h
    Result: Reduced the expression levels of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, increased the expression level of pro-apoptotic protein Bax, and caused the cleavage of caspase-8 and caspase-9.

    Cell Viability Assay[1]

    Cell Line: MCF-7, MCF-10A
    Concentration: 10, 30 μM
    Incubation Time: 72 h
    Result: Decreased cell viability.

    Apoptosis Analysis[1]

    Cell Line: MCF-7
    Concentration: 30 μM; 10, 30 μM
    Incubation Time: 12 h; 1, 3, 6, 12 h
    Result: Led to the translocation of cytochrome C, the expression of cytochrome C in the mitochondria was reduced, and the expression of cytochrome C in the cytoplasm was accumulated. The concentration of reduced glutathione was significantly reduced, and the level of ROS was increased.
    In Vivo

    Paroxetine (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, once a day for 14 days) reduces neurogenic pain in rats both before and after sciatic nerve injury[2].
    Paroxetine (0.3-10 mg/kg, orally, single dose) has anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects in rats, increasing social interaction time[3].

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

    Animal Model: Male Wistar rat[2]
    Dosage: 10 mg/kg; daily; 14 days
    Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.)
    Result: Reduced mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia, and also showed effective relief of existing hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia when administration began 7 days after injury.
    Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats[3]
    Dosage: 0.3, 1, 3, 10 mg/kg; single dose
    Administration: Oral
    Result: Reduced the synthesis rate of serotonin and increased the social time of rats, but had no effect on motor activity. The motor activity of animals taking the drug for a long time was slightly lower than that of animals taking the drug for a short time.

    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 (7.59 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% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.59 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    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.
