Product Description
Imipramine HCl is an orally bioactive tertiary amine tricyclic antidepressant. Imipramine HCl is a Fascin1 inhibitor (antagonist) with anti-tumor activity. Imipramine HCl also inhibits the serotonin transporter with IC50 of 32 nM. Imipramine HCl stimulates autophagy in U-87MG glioma cells and causes apoptosis in HL-60 cells. Imipramine HCl has neuro-protective (neuro-protection) and Immune-modulatory effects.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Imipramine (0.5-300 μM, 3 days) reduces the viability of HCT-116 cells [1]. Cell invasion (48 hours) and migration (7.5 hours) are inhibited by imipramine (20 μM) [1]. In U-87MG glioma cells, imipramine (50 μM, 0-240 min) suppresses the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway [2]. In U-87MG glioma cells, imipramine (60 μM, 24 hours) promotes autophagy [2]. In HL-60 cells, imipramine (80 μM, 24 hours) causes apoptosis [3].
ln Vivo
Imipramine (20 mg/kg intraperitoneally or 15 mg/kg orally; given daily for 24 days) attenuates neuroinflammatory signaling and reverses stress-induced social avoidance in mice [4].

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.

*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

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.
