Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
5-HT [1]
In vitro

Venlafaxine has a low potential to inhibit the metabolism of substrates for CYP2D6 such as imipramine and desipramine compared with several of the most widely used SSRIs, as well as the metabolism of substrates for several of the other major human hepatic P450s. [1] Venlafaxine inhibits binding to the human norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5-HT) transporters with K(i) values of 2480 nM and 82 nM, respectively, and with a K(i) ratio of 30. Venlafaxine has ED(50) values of 5.9 mg/kg and 94 mg/kg for blocking p-chloramphetamine- and 6-hydroxydopamine-induced monoamine depletion, respectively. [2]

In vivo

Venlafaxine induces a dose-dependent antinociceptive effect following i.p. administration with an ED50 of 46.7 mg/kg in mice. Venlafaxine-induced antinociception is significantly inhibited by naloxone, nor-BNI and naltrindole but not by beta-FNA or naloxonazine, implying involvement of kappa1- and delta-opioid mechanisms in mice. [3] Venlafaxine reverses hyperalgesia in rats with a fully developed neuropathic lesion. Venlafaxine also appears to have a mild non-specific analgesic effect that increased paw withdrawal latency (PWL) in the sham limb. [4]
