Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Venlafaxine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride form of venlafaxine. Venlafaxine is an antidepressant of the serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) class. Venlafaxine is a dual serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) transporters reuptake inhibitor with Ki values of 0.2 µM and 82 nM, respectively, and with a Ki ratio of 30. Venlafaxine inhibits ex vivo binding to rat 5-HT transporters and NE transporters with ED50 values of 2 and 54 mg/kg, respectively. Besides, venlafaxine has ED50 values of 5.9 and 94 mg/kg for blocking p-chloramphetamine- and 6-hydroxydopamine-induced monoamine depletion, respectively.[1] Venlafaxine is less potent an inhibitor of imipramine 2-hydroxylation than the other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (including fluoxetine, paroxetine, and fluvoxamine) with a Ki of 41.0 µM.[2] In vivo, daily treatment with venlafaxine (10 mg/kg i.p.) before the operant session attenuates the acquisition of responding for heroin, but not for food in rats.[3] In rats, the mean plasma ratio of (S)-venlafaxine to that of (R)-venlafaxine over 0.5 to 6.0 hours varied from 2.97 to 8.50 with a mean value of 5.51.[4]

Protocols

In vivo: Venlafaxine hydrochloride is dissolved in sterile water.[4]
