Description:

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

Amisulpride is an atypical antipsychotic used to treat psychosis in schizophrenia and episodes of mania in bipolar disorder. In Italy, it is also used as a treatment for dysthymia. It was introduced by Sanofi-Aventis in the 1990s. Its patent had expired by 2008 and hence generic formulations are now available.Amisulpride function primarily as a D2 and D3 receptor antagonist. It has high affinity for these receptors with dissociation constants of 2.2 nM and 2.4 nM, respectively. Although standard doses used to treat psychosis inhibit dopaminergic neurotransmission, low doses preferentially block inhibitory pre-synaptic autoreceptors.

Product Data
Biological target:
Amisulpride is a dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonist with Kis of 2.8 and 3.2 nM for human dopamine D2 and D3, respectively.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
As depicted in fig. (3), UCMS induced a significant reduction in sucrose preference starting from the end of the 3rd week till the end of the experiment compared to control rats (P < 0.001). AMI (Amisulpride) significantly (P < 0.05) reversed UCMS-induced effects on sucrose preference at the end of the 6th week compared to UCMS vehicle-treated group. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant effect of time (F(6,6) = 108.4, P < 0.001), treatment (F(1,6) = 23, P < 0.001), stress (F(1,6) = 434, P < 0.001), time with treatment (F(6,6) = 2.706, P = 0.0141), time with stress (F(6,6) = 80.86, P < 0.001) and treatment with stress (F(1,6) = 4.018, P = 0.0459).
