Product Data
Biological target:
Milnacipran hydrochloride is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
To determine the in vitro effect of milnacipran on four recombinant LGIC receptors, nicotinic acetylcholine, N-methyl-D-aspartate, gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine3A receptors. At high concentrations, milnacipran can inhibit certain LGICs (ligand-gated ion-channel). Reference: Psychopharmacology (Berl). 2004 Sep;175(2):241-6. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14997275/
In vivo activity:
The fifth left lumbar nerve of male C57BL6 mice was tightly ligated. Withdrawal threshold to tactile stimulation and withdrawal latency to heat stimulation in the injured or contralateral paw was tested by using von Frey filaments and radiant heat, respectively. Milnacipran was administered either orally (7.5-120 mg/kg), intrathecally, intracerebroventricularly, or locally (210 ng-21 microg). Both systemic, intrathecal and intracerebroventricular milnacipran increased withdrawal threshold and withdrawal latency in nerve-ligated mice whereas local injection had no effect.
