Biological Activity

Description	Imipramine (Melipramine,G 22355) is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) of the dibenzazepine group, mainly used in the treatment of major depression and enuresis (inability to control urination).

In vitro
In vitro	Imipramine in the microsomal incubation results in a predicted value for human clearance of 8.6 to 11 ml/min/kg, a slight underestimate of reported mean human blood clearance values (14–15 ml/min/kg). ^[1] Imipramine is metabolized into N-desmethylimipramine (84%), 2-hydroxyimipramine (10%), and 10-hydroxyimipramine (6%) in human hepatic microsomes. ^[2] Imipramine (3 μM) inhibits HERG-encoded potassium channels in a reversible manner in CHO cells. Imipramine (3 μM) inhibits HERG tail currents (IHERG) following test pulses to +20 mV with an IC50 of 3.4 μM and a Hill coefficient of 1.17 in CHO cells. Imipramine can completely block native cardiac IKr at 1μm in guinea-pig myocytes. ^[3]

In Vivo
In vivo	Imipramine (10 mg/kg b.i.d.) reverses the decreased sucrose intake of rats exposed to chronic mild stress. Imipramine (10 mg/kg b.i.d.) completely reverses stress caused decrease in D2-receptor binding in the limbic forebrain (but not the striatum). ^[4] Imipramine (15 mg/kg, IP) exerts anxiolytic-like effects in the two elevated T-maze tasks in male Wistar rats. Imipramine (15 mg/kg, IP) enhances both avoidance and escape latencies in male Wistar rats. Imipramine (15 mg/kg, IP) decreases locomotor activity measured in a square arena in male Wistar rats. ^[5]

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.
