- Product Overview:
Vortioxetine is a multimodal serotonergic agent that acts as a serotonin (5-HT; Item No. 14332) reuptake inhibitor (Ki = 1.6 nM) and binds to the 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT3A, and 5-HT7 receptors (Kis = 15, 33, 3.7, and 19 nM, respectively).{36248} It also binds to the ?1-adrenergic receptor (Ki = 46 nM). It acts as an antagonist at 5-HT3A and 5-HT7, a partial agonist at 5-HT1B, and a full agonist at 5-HT1A receptors. Vortioxetine is selective for the serotonin transporter (SERT) over the dopamine and norepinephrine transporters (IC50s = 5.3, 890, and 140 nM, respectively). It has affinity for histamine H2, melanocortin 4, ?2-adrenergic, 5-HT2C, and 5-HT6 receptors with Ki values greater than 180 nM, but it is selective over the majority of targets in a panel of 75 ion channels, G protein-coupled receptors, enzymes, and transporters. Vortioxetine (5 or 10 mg/kg per day) increases 5-HT levels in vivo in rat brain and decreases occupancy at SERT. At acute and chronic doses of 5 mg/kg, but not 10 mg/kg, it increases the time mice spend in the center of the open field test, increases mobility in the forced swim test, and decreases the latency to feed in the novelty suppressed feeding test.{36249} It also increases proliferation and survival of adult-born granule cells in the hippocampus. Formulations containing vortioxetine have been used in the treatment of major depressive disorder.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
