Acta Pharmacol Sin
Esflurbiprofen exerts a fast-onset antidepressant effect by blocking SERT-nNOS interaction. [Abstract]2025 Oct 9. PMID: 41068287
8-OH-DPAT hydrobromide purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2025 Oct 9. [Abstract]
Microinjecting 8-OH-DPAT (4 mM) into the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), followed by esflurbiprofen treatment (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) at 5 min. TST (F (3, 28) = 6.237, P = 0.0022), FST (F (3, 28) = 4.385, P = 0.0119) were performed 2 h post treatment (n = 8). The results showed that 8-OH-DPAT, a selective 5-HT₁A receptor agonist, abolished the rapid antidepressant activity of esflurbiprofen, confirming that esflurbiprofen exerted antidepressant effects by inhibiting the negative feedback mediated by 5-HT₁A autoreceptors.

The allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) isolated from mustard (Sinapis alba L.) oil exerts antidepressant effects by blocking the interaction between SERT and nNOS. [Abstract]2026 Feb 28:357:120876. PMID: 41274522
8-OH-DPAT hydrobromide purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: J Ethnopharmacol. 2026 Feb 28:357:120876. [Abstract]
Microinjecting 8-OH-DPAT (4 mM) into the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) followed by AITC ME treatment. TST (F (3,28) = 3.435, P = 0.0303, n = 8) and FST (F (3,28) = 14.79, P < 0.0001, n = 8) were performed 2 h later. The results showed that 8-OH-DPAT, a 5-HT₁AR agonist, abolished the antidepressant activity of AITC ME, indicating that the antidepressant effect of AITC ME was associated with the autoreceptor-mediated negative feedback mechanism of 5-HT₁AR in the DRN.

8-OH-DPAT hydrobromide purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Mol Neurobiol. 2025 Nov 24;63(1):163. [Abstract]
Co-administration of the sigma-1 receptor (S1R) agonist SA-4503 (1 mg/kg, i.p.) and the 5-HT₁A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT (0.3 mg/kg, i.p.) produced synergistic anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects.

8-OH-DPAT hydrobromide purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Neurochem Int. 2025 Mar:184:105937. [Abstract]
Statistical analysis of the percentage of c-Fos+ TPH2+ cells in the experimental groups of mice (n = 6, with samples from at least three mice per group). The results showed that treatment with SA-4503 (1.0 mg/kg; p.o. ; once daily for 3 days), alone or in combination with 8-OH-DPAT (0.3 mg/kg ; i.g.; once daily for 3 days), activated a greater number of serotonergic neurons in the DRN of mice subjected to CRS. Similarly, the combined treatment significantly enhanced the effect of 8-OH-DPAT alone (P = 0.0022).
