Description:

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

Quetiapine, marketed as Seroquel, is an atypical antipsychotic approved for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and along with an antidepressant to treat major depressive disorder. It is also sometimes used as a sleep aid because of its sedating effect but this use is not recommended. Quetiapine is a dopamine, serotonin, and adrenergic antagonist, and a potent antihistamine with clinically negligible anticholinergic properties. Quetiapine binds strongly to serotonin receptors; the drug acts as partial agonist at 5-HT1A receptors.

Product Data
Biological target:
Quetiapine is a dopamine, serotonin, and adrenergic antagonist, and a potent antihistamine with clinically negligible anticholinergic properties. Quetiapine has moderate to high affinity for the human D2, HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C receptor with pKis of 7.25, 5.74, 7.54, 5.55. It has antidepressant and anxiolytic effects.
In vitro activity:
Using PC12 cell cultures and the MTT assay for cell viability found that the atypical antipsychotics clozapine, quetiapine, and risperidone may exert a neuroprotective function after serum withdrawal through the modulation of SOD1 and p75NTR expression. They also found that 1) the atypical antipsychotics (clozapine, quetiapine, and risperidone) can protect PC12 cells from death after serum withdrawal and 2) these drugs up-regulated the SOD1 gene expression to more than 120% and also down-regulated p75NTR mRNA levels to less than 65% of their respective control values Reference: J Neurosci Res. 2002 Jul 15;69(2):278-83. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12111809/
In vivo activity:
Quetiapine significantly reduced depressive-like behaviors induced by chronic mild stress in adult rats. MPO activity and IL-6 levels increased in the serum of animals submitted to CMS. Quetiapine significantly reduced MPO activity and IL-6 levels. These results corroborate other evidence, indicating that chronic stress is a relevant phenomenon in the etiology of depression and suggesting that quetiapine induces an antidepressant effect because it reduces oxidative and inflammatory mechanisms.
