| Product Description | Reserpine hydrochloride is an inhibitor of the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 ( VMAT2 ). In Vitro Reserpine hydrochloride is an inhibitor of the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2). Reserpine hydrochloride displays a significant on the density of dopamine D1 receptors (F 2,12 =8.81, p<0.01) in the rat striatum. The affinity (Kd) for the dopamine D1 and D2 receptors during withdrawal from acute and chronic administration of reserpine is not change. IC 50 values of 43.9 and 54.9 μM are obtained after 1 day of treatment with Reserpine hydrochloride in JB6 P+ and HepG2-C8 cells, respectively. Reserpine hydrochloride induces luciferase activity in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations ranging from 5 to 50 μM, and no significant induction is observed at concentrations lower than 5 μM. Results demonstrate that Reserpine hydrochloride (2.5 to 10 μM) also increases the protein expression of Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1. Reserpine hydrochloride at concentrations of 2.5 to 10 μM decreases the mRNA expression of DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b in a concentration-dependent manner in JB6 P+ cells after 7 days of treatment. Reserpine hydrochloride at 10 μM generates a significant difference for DNMT3a expression (p<0.05). MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. In Vivo Withdrawal (48 h) from chronic (14-day) but not acute Reserpine hydrochloride administration in a dose of 0.2 mg/kg i.p. produces a significant reduction of the immobility time (F 2,18 =3.68, p<0.05), but increases the climbing time (F 2,18 =4.48, p<0.02), and does not change the swimming time (F 2,18 =1.78; NS) in the forced swim test (FST) in rats . Reserpine hydrochloride at a dose of 5 mg/kg body weight produces significant increase in the urinary excretion profile of vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) compare to control animals. The amount of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) excreted in animals treated with Reserpine is found to be more than in the control. Dose dependent hypotension is observed with Reserpine hydrochloride. Reserpine hydrochloride at doses of 0.5, 1, 5, 10 and 15 μg/kg produce significant (p<0.01) reduction in blood pressure compare to control. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Cell Assay JB6 P+ cells are seeded in 96-well plates containing Minimum essential media (MEM) at a density of 1×10 4 cells/mL ( 100 μL/well ) for 1, 3, and 5 days, and HepG2-C8 cells are seeded in plates containing DMEM. After incubation for 24 h, the cells are treated with either DMSO or various concentrations of Reserpine hydrochloride . For JB6 P+ cells, the medium is changed every 2 days for the 3-day and 5-day treatments. Cell viability is assessed using a MTS assay kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The absorbance of the formazan product is read at 490 nm, and the cell viability is calculated and compared with the DMSO control group. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. IC50& Target:VMAT2 |
