Description of Serotonin HCl

Serotonin HCl a neurotransmitter, is a key messenger that mediates several central and peripheral functions in the human body[1]. Serotonin HCl is also a catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor with a Ki of 44 µM[2].

In vitro, Serotonin HCl (1 nmol/L-10 micromol/L) caused vasoconstriction in a concentration-dependent manner[3]. In vitro, 10 μM Serotonin HCl proliferates colon cancer cells through enhancing YAP (Yes-associated protein) expression[1]. In vitro, for left lower lobe of lungs isolated from the dog, infusion of Serotonin HCl (100 micrograms/min) increased the pulmonary pre- and post-capillary resistances, but did not change the filtration coefficient[4].

In vivo, topical Serotonin HCl (1-10 nmols) or the Serotonin HCl1/7 receptor agonist, 5-carboxamidotryptamine (10-30 nM), dilated third- and fourth-order arterioles, responses that were abolished by 1 μM SB269970, a selective Serotonin HCl7 receptor antagonist[5].

Protocol of Serotonin HCl

Cell experiment:

For macrophage culture, peritoneal cavity cells are collected from WT and IL-13-/- mice with or without dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) treatment and cultured. Cells are plated at a concentration of 3.0×106 cells per millilitre, and treated with either lipopolysaccharides (LPS); (100 ng/mL) or Serotonin hydrochloride (10-10 M) for 24 hours. The culture supernatant are collected and stored in -80°C until determination of cytokine levels using protein array system[2].

Animal experiment:

Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) colitis is induced by orally administering 5% DSS in drinking water for 5 days. In a separate experiment, IL-13-/- mice are injected subcutaneously with 100 mg/kg of Serotonin hydrochloride (5-HTP) twice daily for 8 days beginning 3 days prior to induction of DSS colitis; whereas, the control IL-13-/- mice receive saline as vehicle. Animals are anaesthetized prior to euthanization via cervical dislocation at the conclusion of each experiment or if they reach a predetermined end point (ie, loss of ≥20% body weight and/or significant deterioration of body condition)[2].

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.
