    Product Description

    Iprindole is a tricyclic antidepressant.1,2 It binds to the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtypes 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C in radioligand binding assays (Kis = 0.217 and 0.206 µM, respectively) but only weakly inhibits norepinephrine (NE) and 5-HT uptake in mouse brain slices (IC50s = 9 and 50 µM, respectively).1,3 Iprindole reduces immobility in the forced swim test in rats when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg once per day for 21 days.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
