Azaphen dihydrochloride monohydrate
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Azaphen dihydrochloride monohydrate is an orally active tricyclic antidepressant that inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and monoamines, regulates the 5-HT2c receptor, and exerts sedative, antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. Azaphen dihydrochloride monohydrate increases the bioavailability of serotonin in the synaptic cleft, does not block muscarinic receptors or affect monoamine oxidase activity, and binds to the human serotonin transporter via salt bridges, π-stacking, π-cation and hydrophobic interactions. Azaphen dihydrochloride monohydrate can be used in studies related to depression.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Azaphen (5-20 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) dihydrochloride monohydrate (Azafen dihydrochloride monohydrate) exhibits pronounced antidepressant activity in the Porsolt behavioral despair test, with significant reductions in immobility duration at oral doses of 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg[2].
Azaphen dihydrochloride monohydrate exhibits pronounced antidepressant activity in the Normura forced swimming test with significant reductions in depressive state duration[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
Azaphen dihydrochloride monohydrate binds preferentially to the allosteric (S2) site of hSERT with minimal conformational change from its solid-state structure, stabilized by multiple key interactions including a salt bridge, pi-stacking, and pi-cation interactions[3].

Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
H2O : ≥ 100 mg/mL (257.54 mM)
DMSO : 1 mg/mL (2.58 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.
