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 isolated from the root of Rauwolfia serpentina. As an inhibitor of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), it suppresses the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles, leading to depletion of catecholamines and serotonin in central and peripheral nerve terminals. It has antihypertensive and antipsychotic effects and can be used to induce gastric ulcer and depression models.

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 is the salt form of Reserpine and acts as an inhibitor of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2). It blocks the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles, leading to the depletion of catecholamines and serotonin at central and peripheral nerve terminals. It has antihypertensive and antipsychotic properties and is commonly used to induce models of gastric ulcer and depression.

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.
