Amitriptyline HCl Serotonin Transporter inhibitor

Cat.No.S3183

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

In vivo

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