Diclofensine
Diclofensine (Ro 8-46500) is an orally active neuronal monoamine uptake inhibitor. Diclofensine blocks the uptake of dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin by rat brain synaptosomes with IC50 values of 0.74, 2.3 and 3.7 nM, respectively. Diclofensine potentiates norepinephrine-induced hypertension and attenuates Tyramine (HY-W007606)-induced hypertension. Diclofensine produces psychostimulant and mood-elevating effects without causing sudden disappearance or withdrawal reactions. Diclofensine can be used in the research of moderate to severe depression.

Biological Activity
Diclofensine (0.01-1 μM; 13 min) potently inhibits 3H-DA uptake in synaptosomes isolated from the arcuate nucleus-periventricular nucleus-median eminence of rats[3].
Diclofensine (50 μM; 10 min) does not alter the basal endogenous dopamine release from tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neurons in rats[3].
Diclofensine (50 μM; 20 min) increases the K+-stimulated release of endogenous dopamine by 3-fold in rat tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neurons[3].

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.
