    Description

    Vilazodone Hydrochloride (EMD 68843 Hydrochloride) is a serotonin transporter (SER) inhibitor and 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist.

    IC50 & Target[1]

    sPLA2

     

    5-HT1A Receptor

     

    In Vivo

    Administration of 5-HT1A receptor agonists produce a characteristic behavioral syndrome that includes changes in posture, hind limb reduction, head weaving, tremors, forepaw treading, and straub tail. In the rat ultrasonic vocalizations test, stress-induced vocalizations are inhibited by Vilazodone Hydrochloride (EMD 68843 Hydrochloride) (55 mg/kg po) at 120 and 210 min post dose. Vilazodone Hydrochloride (EMD 68843 Hydrochloride) (20-40 mg/kg ip), administered acutely or prophylactically (1 week prior to behavioral testing), attenuated stress induces potentiated startle but has no effect on stress potentiated anxiety response in the elevated plus maze. Interestingly, a lower dose of 10 mg/kg of Vilazodone Hydrochloride (EMD 68843 Hydrochloride) has the opposite effect in the startle response, indicating a somewhat unexplained bidirectional effect, and all doses produce a potentiation of the startle-induced stress response possibly suggestive of an anxiogenic-like response[1]. Vilazodone Hydrochloride (EMD 68843 Hydrochloride) also represents another option for the treatment of MDD[2].

    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 (5.23 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.23 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 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    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.
