Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Desipramine Hydrochloride, also known as Norpramin and EX-4355, is a tricyclic dibenzazepine compound that potentiates neurotransmission. Desipramine Hydrochloride selectively blocks reuptake of norepinephrine from the neural synapse, and also appears to impair serotonin transport. Desipramine Hydrochloride also possesses minor anticholinergic activity, through its affinity to muscarinic receptors.

Product Data
Biological target:
Desipramine hydrochloride is an inhibitor of norepinephrine transporter (NET), 5-HT transporter (SERT) and dopamine transporter (DAT) with Kis of 4, 61 and 78,720 nM, respectively.
In vitro activity:
To simulate hepatic ischemia, rat hepatocytes were incubated in anaerobic, nutrient-deficient, and acidic KRH buffer (pH 6.2) at 37°C. After 4 h of ischemic conditions, the anaerobic buffer was replaced with aerobic KRH buffer at pH 7.4. Similar to a previous report, hepatocyte death progressively increased after reperfusion (Fig. 1A). DMI (desipramine) at 5 μM significantly reduced cell death during 120 min of reperfusion, while a lower concentration (1 μM) did not. Reference: Biochem Biophys Rep. 2021 Sep; 27: 101075. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8313843/
In vivo activity:
Alveolar bone loss was significantly reduced in the ligature + desipramine group (P < 0.05), whereas gingival collagen degradation was like the ligature group (P > 0.05). Desipramine administration downregulated mRNA expressions of IL-1β, iNOS, COX-2, and TIMP-1 when compared to vehicle alone in the ligature group (P < 0.05). MMP-9 expression and MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio were similar among rats with ligature-induced periodontitis (P > 0.05); however, MMP-9 activity was lower in the group treated with desipramine (P < 0.05).
