Clear solution
5%DMSO Corn oil
4.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 80 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Amitriptyline HCl is an inhibitor of both serotonin transporter (SERT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET) with Ki of 3.45 nM and 13.3 nM, respectively. Amitriptyline HCl also inhibits histamine receptor H1, histamine receptor H4, 5-HT2 and sigma 1 receptor with Ki of 0.5 nM, 7.31 nM, 235 nM and 287 nM, respectively. Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA).

In vitro

Amitriptyline inhibits Forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation with EC50 values of 16.2 μM in intact CHO/DOR cells. Amitriptyline causes a concentration-dependent stimulation of ERK1/2 and GSK-3β phosphorylation with EC50 values of 9.0 μM in CHO/DOR cells. Amitriptyline (15 μM) causes a stimulation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation in C6 cells. Amitriptyline (30 μM) inhibits Forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity and antagonizes (−)-U50,488 inhibitory effect in rat nucleus accumbens. [5] Amitriptyline binds the extracellular domain of both TrkA and TrkB and promotes TrkA-TrkB receptor heterodimerization. Amitriptyline (< 500 nM) promotes TrkA autophosphorylation in primary neurons and induces neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. Amitriptyline selectively protects T17 cells from apoptosis with EC50 of 50 nM. [6]
In vivo

Amitriptyline (15 mg/kg, i.p.) activates TrkA and TrkB receptors and significantly reduces kainic acid-triggered neuronal cell death in mice. [6] Amitriptyline (15 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg, i.p.) dose-dependently decreases the immobility time in the forced swimming test (FST) of mice. Amitriptyline (15 mg/kg, i.p.) shows a significant 24-h rhythm in the immobility time in the forced swimming test (FST) of mice. [7] Amitriptyline (1 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg) significantly increases the total distance travelled of mice in novel cages. Amitriptyline (10 mg/kg p.o., twice daily) considerably attenuates the hypothermic response to 8-OHDPAT and mCPP in mice. Amitriptyline (10 mg/kg p.o., twice daily) significantly reduces serotonin transporter density by approximately 20% in cortex of mice. [8]
