Biological Activity

Paroxetine is a potent and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that targets the serotonin transporter. By blocking serotonin reuptake, it increases extracellular serotonin levels to modulate central neurotransmission. Additionally, paroxetine inhibits pyroptosis and suppresses osteoclast formation through inhibition of the NF-kB signaling pathway, thereby reducing inflammatory responses and bone resorption in experimental models.

Solvent Solubility & Note
DMSO 66 mg/mL (200.38 mM)
(Moisture-contaminated DMSO may reduce solubility. Use fresh, anhydrous DMSO. The recommended stock concentration is 10 mM in DMSO.)
Ethanol 10 mg/mL
Water Insoluble
FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
