 Use of Tipepidine hydrochloride


Tipepidine hydrochloride reversibly inhibits on dopamine (DA) D2 receptor-mediated GIRK currents (IDA(GIRK)) to activate VTA dopamine neuron, with an IC50 of 7.0 μM[1]. Tipepidine hydrochloride, a non-narcotic antitussive, exerts an antidepressant-like effect[2].

IC50: 7.0 μM (dopamine D2 receptor)[1]

In Vivo Tipepidine (i.p.; 10-40 mg/kg; 0.5-23 hours) significantly decreases the immobility time in the forced swimming test in ACTH-treated rats. Tipepidine (i.p.; 40 mg/kg) increases the extracellular dopamine level of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in ACTH-treated rats[2]. Animal Model: Male Wistar rats weighting 150-240 g (5-7 weeks old) [2] Dosage: 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg Administration: I.p.; 0.5, 5, 23 hours Result: Decreased the immobility time in the forced swimming test in ACTH-treated rats.
