Tipepidine
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Tipepidine reversibly inhibits dopamine (DA) D2 receptor-mediated GIRK currents (IDA(GIRK)) with an IC50 of 7.0 μM. Tipepidine subsequently activates VTA dopamine neuron. Tipepidine, a non-narcotic antitussive, exerts an antidepressant-like effect.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.
