Azaphen (Azafen) 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 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 can be used in studies related to depression.

Biological Activity

Description

All 5-HT Receptor Isoforms :

In Vitro

Azaphen (Azafen) (Less than 1 mg; 0.5 s exposure per frame, 2° s^-1 rotation rate, 120° total rotation angle) has its first atomic solid-state structure solved by MicroED at 0.82 Å resolution, revealing two inversion-related conformers with minimal conformational flexibility that supports binding to its target protein^[3].
Azaphen 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].

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

In Vivo

Azaphen (Azafen) (5-20 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) 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 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.

Animal Model:

Mongrel albino rats (70-90 days old, 200-250 g, behavioral despair induced via Porsolt forced swimming test)^[2]
Dosage:

5 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg; 20 mg/kg
Administration:

p.o.; single dose
Result:

Significantly shortened the duration of immobility (depressive state) compared to control.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
