Bioactivity | Sertraline hydrochloride is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. Sertraline hydrochloride is researched for a number of diseases, such as major depressive disorder and obsessive[1][2]. |
Invitro | Sertraline (1 μM, 12 hours) inhibits high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)- or tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced microglial activation and inflammatory mediator production in microglia[3].Sertraline (1 μM) inhibits the HMGB1/toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)- and TNF-α/TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1)-mediated nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activation in HMGB1- or TNF-α-stimulated microglia[3]. |
In Vivo | Sertraline (10 mg/kg) is shown to produce the optimal anti-depression effectsin chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-exposed mice[3].Sertraline (10 mg/kg; a single i.p.) significantly reduces the immobility time during forced swim test (FST) in all female animals[4].Sertraline (10 mg/kg; a single i.p.) does not alter spontaneous locomotor activity in all three genotypes regardless of sex difference[4].
