Product Description

Desvenlafaxine Succinate (formerly WY45233; WY 45233; O-desmethylvenlafaxine; trade name Pristiq, Desfax), the succinate salt of Desvenlafaxine which is an approved antidepressant drug, is a novel and potent serotonin (5-HT) transporter and norepinephrine (NE) transporter reuptake inhibitor with Ki of 40.2 nM and 558.4 nM respectively. The active metabolite of the antidepressant venlafaxine, which is marketed under the trade names Effexor and Efexor, is called desvenlafaxine. Like venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine blocks serotonin and norepinephrine from being absorbed by neurons. The human dopamine (DA) transporter exhibits a weak binding affinity (62% inhibition at 100 μM) for desvenlafaxine. Desvenlafaxine is being targeted as the first non-hormonal based treatment for menopause.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
hSERT ( IC50 = 47.3 nM ); hNET ( IC50 = 531.3 nM )
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Desvenlafaxine succinate possesses the capacity to inhibit CYP2D6, which might lead to higher concentrations of medications metabolized via this route. Additionally, desvenlafaxine succinate induces CYP3A4, which may have an effect on how medications metabolized by this enzyme are metabolized[2].

ln Vivo
Desvenlafaxine succinate (30 mg/kg, orally) increases extracellular NE levels dramatically[1], but microdialysis had no effect on DA levels.
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in 0.25% Tween 80 and 0.5% methylcellulose; 30 mg/kg; oral gavage
Male Sprague-Dawley rats

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.

Biological Data
  • Desvenlafaxine Succinate

    DVS competes for the binding of radioligands specific to the serotonin (membrane) (A) and norepinephrine (whole-cell) (B) transporters, whereas weak competition was noted for the radioligand specific to the dopamine (membrane) (C) transporter.J Pharmacol Exp Ther.2006 Aug;318(2):657-65.
  • Desvenlafaxine Succinate

    A-C, DVS increases extracellular levels of serotonin (A) and norepinephrine (B) without increasing dopamine (C) in the rat hypothalamus compared with baseline.J Pharmacol Exp Ther.2006 Aug;318(2):657-65.
  • Desvenlafaxine Succinate
    Orally administered desvenlafaxine (30 mg/kg) to intact male rats is found in plasma and penetrates the brain and hypothalamus over time.


    Desvenlafaxine Succinate
    Functional activity of desvenlafaxine demonstrates inhibition of radioligand uptake of serotonin (A) or norepinephrine (B). For each uptake transporter bioassay, a known comparator was used [fluoxetine (5-HT reuptake inhibitor) and desipramine (NE reuptake inhibitor)]. Each data point depicted represents the mean ± S.E.M. of three independent experiments performed in triplicate.J Pharmacol Exp Ther.2006 Aug;318(2):657-65.
