Melitracen  (Synonyms: Melitracene; N 7001; Trausabun)

Cat. No.: HY-121778
Handling Instructions

Melitracen (Melitracene) is an orally active tricyclic antidepressant and it is also a bipolar thymoleptic with activating properties. Melitracen inhibits 3H-5-HT and 14H-5-HT with IC50s of 670 nM and 5500 nM, respectively. Melitracen can be used for the research of depression and anxiety.

At equivalent molar concentrations, both the salt and free forms of a compound exhibit comparable biological activity. Nevertheless, the salt form (Melitracen hydrochloride) usually boasts enhanced water solubility and stability.

For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Description

Melitracen (Melitracene) is an orally active tricyclic antidepressant and it is also a bipolar thymoleptic with activating properties. Melitracen inhibits 3H-5-HT and 14H-5-HT with IC50s of 670 nM and 5500 nM, respectively. Melitracen can be used for the research of depression and anxiety[1][2].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 670 nM (3H-5-HT), 5500 nM (14H-5-HT)[2]

In Vitro

Melitracen (0-10 μM; 10 min) inhibits 3H-5-HT in synaptosomes and 14H-5-HT in blood platelets[2].

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

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: Synaptosomes and blood platelets from male albino rats
Concentration: 0-10 μM
Incubation Time: 10 min
Result: Inhibited 3H-5-HT in synaptosomes and 14H-5-HT in blood platelets with IC50s of 670 nM and 5500 nM, respectively.
In Vivo

Melitracen (10-90 mg/kg; p.o. once daily for 3 months) affects behavior, weight and growth of rats[1].

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

Animal Model: Male and female Wistar rats[1]
Dosage: 10, 30 and 90 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; 10-90 mg/kg daily; for 3 months
Result: Showed aggressive behaviour, excitability, body and livers weight gain, and livers slight atrophic with increasing dose to rats.

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.
