Viloxazine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Viloxazine is a non-brain-penetrant, selective norepinephrine transporter (NET) inhibitor (IC50= 0.26 μM) and 5-HT receptor modulator. Viloxazine antagonizes 5-HT2B receptors (Ki=4.2 μM) and agonizes 5-HT2C receptors (EC50= 32 μM), respectively, and enhances 5-HT neurotransmission by modulating 5-HT2B/C receptors. Viloxazine also competitively inhibits NET from increasing NE and DA levels in the synaptic cleft, and can be used in the study of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Biological Activity

5-HT2B Receptor |
5-HT2C Receptor |
Viloxazine (10 μM; kinase binding assay) significantly inhibits 7 out of 132 targets, including NET, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, 5-HT1B, 5-HT7, ADRα1A, ADRα1B receptors, with the highest selectivity for NET (inhibition rate>50%)[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Viloxazine (1-30 mg/kg; i.p.; single injection) dose-dependently increases NE and 5-HT levels in the PFC and inhibited the NE metabolite DHPG in Sprague-Dawley rats, but had no significant effect on DA[2].
The median lethal dose (LD50) of Viloxazine in different animals is 500-1000 mg/kg (po, mouse), 2000 mg/kg (po, rat), and 60 mg/kg (iv, mouse)[3].

Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley rats (male, 300-400 g, 7-8 weeks; naïve model)[1]
-
Dosage:50 mg/kg (0.9% NaCl)
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection, single
-
Result:Increased extracellular NE, DA, and 5-HT in the PFC, Acb, and Amg. Resulted peak responses at 60 min post-injection (NE: 649%, DA: 670%, 5-HT: 506% of baseline).

-
Dosage:1, 3, 10, 30 mg/kg (0.9% NaCl)
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection, single dose
-
Result:Dose-dependently increased NE (30 mg/kg: 545% of baseline) and 5-HT (30 mg/kg: 197.9% of baseline) in the PFC.
Decreased DHPG levels significantly at 10 and 30 mg/kg (p<0.05), without changed DA levels.

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
