Product Description

Moclobemide (Ro-111163; Ro11-1163; Ro 11-1163; Amira; Aurorix; Clobemix; Depnil; Manerix) is a novel, potent, reversible monoamine oxidase MAO-A (5-HT) inhibitor with anti-depressant and anti-anxiety effects. It inhibits MAO-A with an IC50 of 6.1 μM and is mainly used for the treatment of depression and social anxiety. Moclobemide is a prototype of RIMA agents. It is found to possess antidepressant efficacy with less risk of fatal side-effects like hypertensive crisis. Moclobemide shows a weak but specific inhibition of MAO-A in the in vitro assay using rat brain homogenates.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
PC12 cell growth is inhibited by NMDA (600 µM for three days). Moclobemide (2 and 10 µM) stimulates PC12 cells treated with NMDA to proliferate more rapidly[2].
ln Vivo
Moclobemide is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor that elevates norepinephrine and 5-HT levels in the brain. In animal behavior models, moclobemide (40 mg/kg) is effective[2].
Cell Assay
Cell Cycle Analysis[2]
Cell Types: PC12 cell line
Tested Concentrations: Moclobemide (2 and 10 µM); N-methylaspartate (NMDA) (600 µM)
Incubation Duration: 3 days
Experimental Results: Treatment with NMDA Dramatically decreased the percentage of S-phase, while the percentage of other cell cycle phases did not change Dramatically .However, the percentage of S-phase increased in the presence of Moclobemide.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Chronically stressed male mice (18± 2 g) of the Kunming strain[2]
Doses: 40 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Ip; daily
Experimental Results: BDNF level in the hippocampal subfields including subgranule zone diminished in stressed mice compared with normal control. Chronic treatment with Moclobemide could reverse these changes.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 53 mg/mL (197.2 mM)
Water:<1 mg/mL
Ethanol: 10 mg/mL (37.2 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.30 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.30 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.30 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

*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.

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:

  • 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
