Nomifensine
Based on 6 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Nomifensine ((±)-Nomifensine) is a potent norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) reuptake inhibitor. Nomifensine inhibits uptake of NE, DA and 5-HT in rat brain synaptosomes, with IC50 values of 6.6 nM, 48 nM and 830 nM, and Ki values of 4.7 nM, 26 nM and 4000 nM, respectively. Nomifensine has antidepressant and analgesic effects. Nomifensine is used in neurodegenerative diseases, compound addiction, and pain research.

Nomifensine (5 mg/kg/day; s.c. using minipumps; 2-14 days) potently and significantly inhibits dopamine neuronal firing in the ventral tegmental area of SD rats after 2 days, with recovery to normal after 14-day treatment due to D2 autoreceptor desensitization[4].
Nomifensine (0.625-5 mg/kg; s.c.; 30 min before testing) produces analgesia (only in the formaldehyde test) and abolishs the nociceptive behavior induced by 2% formaldehyde in rats[6].
Nomifensine (20 mg/kg; i.p.; once a day; 6 consecutive days) can suppress the neurotoxicity of MPTP (HY-15608) in C57 black mice, inhibiting the long-term depletion of neostriatal DA concentration induced by MPTP[7].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.49 mM); Clear solution
