Animal experiment: | Rats: The Wistar (WIS) and Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats are divided into four groups: (1) a control WIS rat group, (2) an imipramine-treated WIS rat group, (3) a control WKY rat group and (4) an imipramine-treated WKY rat group. Distilled water (10 mL/kg) or imipramine solution (10 mg/10 mL/kg) is orally administered for 28 days except on the day of the open field test, when nothing is administered in order to avoid the acute effect of single administration on the open field test[5]. Mice: C57BL/6 mice subjected to repeated social defeat (RSD), home cage control (HCC) are randomLy selected into four groups: RSD/imipramine, RSD/vehicle, HCC/imipramine, and HCC/vehicle. Mice in the RSD/imipramine received daily intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of imipramine (20 mg/kg) for 24 days after the 6 cycles of RSD. HCC/imipramine received daily i.p. imipramine at the same dose while RSD/vehicle and HCC/vehicle groups received i.p. injections of vehicle (sodium chloride, 0.9%) for 24 days at the same time point[3]. |

Imipramine (hydrochloride) is a tricyclic antidepressant and is mainly used in the treatment of major depression and enuresis [1].
Antidepressants are antagonists of many neurotransmitter receptors in human brain [3].
Imipramine is the first tricyclic antidepressant that acts mainly as an inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine transporters [2]. In radioligand binding assays, imipramine inhibited serotonin and norepinephrine transporters with KD values of 1.4 and 37 nM, respectively [2]. Imipramine is also inhibited histamine H1 receptor, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and α1-adrenergic receptor with Kd values of 37, 46, and 32 nM, respectively [4].
In rodents, imipramine abolished the depressive syndrome produced by the acute administration of reserpine. Imipramine also possessed central anticholinergic activity and attenuate the activity of the centrally acting muscarinic agents tremorine and oxotremorine. Imipramine inhibited the presynaptic uptake of NA and 5-HT, and relatively weak against DA [1].

General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |

Working concentration: mg/ml;
Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.
Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
