Product Description

Vilazodone (EMD 68843; SB 659746A) is a combined serotonin specific reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist currently under clinical evaluation for the treatment of major depression.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
5-HT1A Receptor
ln Vitro
Vilazodone has an IC50 of 0.5 nM for the SERT and 0.2 nM at the human 5-HT1A receptor. Vilazodone exhibits high affinity (pKi≥9.3) for human recombinant and native tissue 5-HT1A receptors from rats, mice, marmosets, and guinea pigs, and it preferentially binds to the high agonist affinity state of human 5-HT1A receptors. Vilazodone functions at 5-HT1A receptors as a partial agonist with high efficacy. A single concentration of Vilazodone (100nM) increases basal binding by approximately 70% of that produced by the full 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8‐OH‐PIPAT, in [35S]GTPγS binding studies in Sf9 cells expressing h5-HT1A receptors. Vilazodone exhibits potent partial agonistic effects on the 5‐HT1A receptor, as demonstrated by [35S]GTPγS binding studies conducted in rat hippocampal membranes. Its intrinsic activity is 0.61 and its pEC50 is 8.1. Vilazodone has a potent inhibitory effect on 5‐HT reuptake in the cortex of rats and guinea pigs. Vilazodone has an 8.8 pIC50 to inhibit [3H]5-HT uptake in LLCPK cells that express human SERT[1].
ln Vivo
Vilazodone (intraperitoneal injection; 3 mg/kg ; single dose) causes increases in extracellular 5‐HT in rat frontal cortex (FC) and ventral hippocampal (vHipp) in in vivo microdialysis studies. Maximum increases are seen at 3 mg/kg, where they reach, in the FC and vHipp, 527% and 558% of preinjection baseline values, respectively[2]. Vilazodone (55 mg/kg; single dose; oral gavage) inhibits vocalizations induced by stress in the rat ultrasonic vocalizations test 120 and 210 minutes after the dose[2].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 75~88 mg/mL (199.3~169.9 mM)
Ethanol: ~14 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.66 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 (5.66 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.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.2649 mL 11.3245 mL 22.6490 mL
5 mM 0.4530 mL 2.2649 mL 4.5298 mL
10 mM 0.2265 mL 1.1325 mL 2.2649 mL

*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
