  3. Milnacipran

Milnacipran is an orally active Serotonin (HY-B1473A) and Norepinephrine (HY-13715) reuptake inhibitor. Milnacipran inhibits monoamine transporters, especially the norepinephrine transporter and the serotonin transporter (Ki values of 31 and 8.5 nM, respectively). Milnacipran inhibits pERK1/2 activation. Milnacipran has antidepressant, anxiolytic and analgesic properties. Milnacipran inhibits biting behavior in mice. Milnacipran can be used in the study of major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and neuropathic pain (e.g., fibromyalgia).

Description

Milnacipran is an orally active Serotonin (HY-B1473A) and Norepinephrine (HY-13715) reuptake inhibitor. Milnacipran inhibits monoamine transporters, especially the norepinephrine transporter and the serotonin transporter (Ki values of 31 and 8.5 nM, respectively). Milnacipran inhibits pERK1/2 activation. Milnacipran has antidepressant, anxiolytic and analgesic properties. Milnacipran inhibits biting behavior in mice. Milnacipran can be used in the study of major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and neuropathic pain (e.g., fibromyalgia)[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].

In Vitro

Milnacipran shows high affinity for 5-HT and NA transporters (Ki = 8.5 and 31 nM, respectively)[2].
Milnacipran (10-100 µM; 3 min) reduces the amplitude of NMDA (HY-17551)-induced currents in rat spinal lamina II neurons[5].
Milnacipran (100 µM; 10 min) suppresses NMDA (HY-17551)-induced pERK1/2 activation in superficial dorsal horn neurons[5].

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

In Vivo

Milnacipran (30-60 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) shows anxiolytic effects in rats[2].
Milnacipran (30-120 mg/kg; p.o.) increases withdrawal threshold to tactile stimulation and latency to heat stimulation in a dose-dependent manner in rats with spinal nerve ligation (SNL)[4].
Milnacipran (0.01-0.1 µmol; intrathecal) suppresses hyperalgesia in a dose-dependent manner in mice with intrathecal NMDA-induced thermal hyperalgesia[5].
Milnacipran (3-30 mg/kg; i.p.) suppresses impulsive, aggressive, and depressive-like behaviors in male C57BL/6N mice[6].
Milnacipran (20-60 mg/kg; i.p.) suppresses food intake in fasted male C57BL/6J and Ay mice, increases hypothalamic POMC and CART mRNA levels, and does not elevate plasma corticosterone or blood glucose[7].
Milnacipran (0.1-10 μg/site; intrathecal) inhibits Serotonin-induced biting behavior in male ICR mice[8].

Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats; conditioned fear stress test[2]
Dosage: 10, 30, 60 mg/kg

Animal Model: Male C57BL/6N mice and male BALB/c mice[6]
Dosage: 0, 3, 10, 30 mg/kg (saline)
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.); 60 min prior to each test; single dose per session with washout intervals (1 week for 3-CSRTT, 2 days for RIT).

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 (10.15 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 (10.15 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.
