Sertraline (1 μM, 12 hours) inhibits high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)- or tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced microglial activation and inflammatory mediator production in microglia[3].
Sertraline (1 μM) inhibits the HMGB1/toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)- and TNF-α/TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1)-mediated nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activation in HMGB1- or TNF-α-stimulated microglia[3].

Sertraline (10 mg/kg; a single i.p.) significantly reduces the immobility time during forced swim test (FST) in all female animals[4].
Sertraline (10 mg/kg; a single i.p.) does not alter spontaneous locomotor activity in all three genotypes regardless of sex difference[4].

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 (7.30 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.30 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
