Description

Vilazodone (EMD 68843; SB 659746A) is a potent, selective and orally active serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and partial 5-HT1A receptor agonist. Vilazodone exhibits antidepressant efficacy in vivo can be used for the research of major depressive disorder (MDD) and affective disorders[1][2].

IC50 & Target

5-HT1A Receptor

 

In Vitro

Vilazodone shows an IC50 of 0.2 nM at the human 5-HT1A receptor and 0.5 nM for the SERT. Vilazodone preferentially binds to the high agonist affinity state of human 5-HT1A receptors, and it displays high affinity (pKi≥9.3) for human recombinant and rat, guinea pig, mouse, and marmoset native tissue 5-HT1A receptors.
Vilazodone acts as a high efficacy partial agonist at 5-HT1A receptors. In [35S]GTPγS binding studies in Sf9 cells expressing h5-HT1A receptors, a single concentration of Vilazodone (100nM) increases basal binding by approximately 70% of that produced by the full 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8‐OH‐PIPAT.
In [35S]GTPγS binding studies in rat hippocampal membranes, Vilazodone acts as a potent 5‐HT1A receptor partial agonist with a pEC50 of 8.1 and an intrinsic activity of 0.61.
Vilazodone acts as a potent 5‐HT reuptake inhibitor in rat and guinea pig cortex. In LLCPK cells expressing human SERT, whereby vilazodone inhibits [3H]5‐HT uptake with a pIC50 of 8.8[1].

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

In Vivo

Vilazodone (intraperitoneal injection; 3 mg/kg ; single dose) produces increases in extracellular levels of 5‐HT in both the frontal cortex (FC) and ventral hippocampus (vHipp) of rats in vivo microdialysis studies. Maximum increases are observed at 3 mg/kg and reaches 527% and 558% of preinjection baseline values in the FC and vHipp, respectively[2].
Vilazodone (oral gavage ;55 mg/kg ; single dose) inhibits stress‐induced vocalizations in the rat ultrasonic vocalizations test at 120 and 210 min post dose[2].

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 (5.66 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.66 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
