Description:

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

Nisoxetine is a norepinephrine transporter (NET) inhibitor that inhibits norepinephrine uptake and inhibits amphetamine-induced increases in norepinephrine release. It reduces increases in locomotor activity induced by d-N-ethylamphetamine, methylphenidate, and cocaine, but not morphine and also reduces cataplexy in narcoleptic dogs.

Product Data
Biological target:
Nisoxetine hydrochloride is a potent and selective inhibitor of noradrenaline transporter (NET), with a Kd of 0.76 nM.
In vitro activity:
In in vitro studies, the voltage-clamp method was employed to examine whether nisoxetine blocked Na(+) currents in mouse neuroblastoma N2A cells. Nisoxetine was more potent (IC50 of 1.6 and 28.6 μM at holding potentials of -70 and -100 mV, respectively). Reference: Pharmacol Rep. 2013;65(2):350-7. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23744419/
In vivo activity:
Acute administration of nisoxetine (saline: 0, 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg; i.p.) resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in the 24 h refeeding response in male Sprague Dawley rats maintained on standard chow. In a similar fashion, nisoxetine resulted in reductions in blood pressure and a compensatory increase in heart rate. Nisoxetine (3 mg/kg) also resulted in greater neural activation, as measured by c-Fos immunohistochemistry, in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus in animals exposed to the high-fat diet.
