Tianeptine Metabolite MC5 sodium

• Catalog Number: orb1980124
• Category: Small Molecules
• Description: Tianeptine Metabolite MC5 sodium
• CAS Number: 115220-11-6
• MW: 430.88
• SMILES: O=C(CCCCNC1C2=C(N(S(=O)(C3=CC(Cl)=CC=C31)=O)C)C=CC=C2)[O-].[Na+]
• Formula: C₁₉H₂₀ClN₂O₄S.Na
• Biological Activity: Tianeptine metabolite MC5, an active derivative of the atypical antidepressant tianeptine produced through β-oxidation, exhibits selective G protein activation in bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) assays. Utilizing HEK293T cells expressing the human μ-opioid receptor (MOR) over the human δ-opioid receptor (DOR; EC50s = 0.454 and > 100 µM, respectively), it demonstrates specificity. Moreover, this metabolite reduces immobility in wild-type mice during the forced swim test at a dose of 30 mg/kg, an effect not observed in MOR knockout mice, suggesting its antidepressant-like activity is MOR-dependent.
