Use of Melitracen

Melitracen (Melitracene) is an orally active tricyclic antidepressant and it is also a bipolar thymoleptic with activating properties. Melitracen inhibits 3H-5-HT and 14H-5-HT with IC50s of 670 nM and 5500 nM, respectively. Melitracen can be used for the research of depression and anxiety[1][2].

Target	IC50: 670 nM (3H-5-HT), 5500 nM (14H-5-HT)[2]
In Vitro	Melitracen (0-10 μM; 10 min) inhibits 3H-5-HT in synaptosomes and 14H-5-HT in blood platelets[2]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line: Synaptosomes and blood platelets from male albino rats Concentration: 0-10 μM Incubation Time: 10 min Result: Inhibited 3H-5-HT in synaptosomes and 14H-5-HT in blood platelets with IC50s of 670 nM and 5500 nM, respectively.
In Vivo	Melitracen (10-90 mg/kg; p.o. daily for 3 months) affects behavior, weight and growth of rats[1]. Animal Model: Male and female Wistar rats[1] Dosage: 10, 30 and 90 mg/kg Administration: Oral gavage; 10-90 mg/kg daily; for 3 months Result: Showed aggressive behaviour, excitability, body and livers weight gain, and livers slight atrophic with increasing dose to rats.
