serotonin uptake

Gentisein (NSC-329491), a primary metabolite of Mangiferin, exhibits significant inhibition of serotonin uptake, demonstrating potency with an IC50 value of 4.7 µM[1][2].

Reserpine (Serpalan) is an alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria. Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles resulting in depletion of catecholamines and serotonin from central and peripheral axon terminals. It has been used as an antihypertensive and an antipsychotic as well as a research tool, but its adverse effects limit its clinical use.

4-aminobenzoic acid is an organic acid with UV-absorbing and antifibrotic properties. When exposed to light, 4-aminobenzoic acid absorbs UV light and releases excess energy through a photochemical reaction, which may cause DNA damage.4-aminobenzoic acid also increases oxygen uptake at the tissue level and may enhance monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity to promote serotonin degradation, which in excess may lead to fibrotic Changes.

Reserpine hydrochloride （Serpivite hydrochloride） is the salt form of Reserpine, an alkaloid that inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles, leading to depletion of catecholamines and serotonin in central and peripheral axon terminals, with antihypertensive and antipsychotic potential.

Jatrorrhizine hydroxide, an alkaloid derived from Coptis chinensis, exhibits a range of biological activities including neuroprotective, antimicrobial, antiplasmodial, and antioxidant properties [1]. It acts as a potent and orally active inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with an IC50 value of 872 nM, demonstrating over 115-fold greater selectivity for AChE compared to butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) [2]. Additionally, Jatrorrhizine hydroxide impedes the uptake of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) by inhibiting uptake-2 transporters, further contributing to its pharmacological profile [3].

Homoeriodictyol, a naturally occurring, bitter-masking flavanone, as a promising agent to increase appetite and food intake. The flavanone homoeriodictyol can increase SGLT-1-mediated glucose uptake but decrease serotonin release in differentiated Caco-2 cells.
