Agonist of all 5-HT Receptors and Transporters

Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10, 000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is soluble in pure water at high micromolar concentrations (100 µM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double-distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain biological activity

Yes

Serotonin is the endogenous agonist of 5-HT receptors and the endogenous substrate for the synthesis of a number of molecules, such as melatonin, formyl5hydroxykynurenamine, and 5hydroxyindoleacetic acid.Serotonin (5HT), also known as 5hydroxytryptamine is a monoamine derived from tryptophan. Primarily, serotonin can be found in the gastrointestinal tract, blood platelets, and the central nervous system (CNS)1. Only 2% of serotonin is present in the CNS where it plays an important role in the etiology of many mental disorders. 5-HT also plays an important role in regulating mood and social behavior, appetite, sleep, pain, bone density, tissue regeneration, platelet aggregation, gastrointestinal function, memory and sexual desire and function1, 2. In addition, serotonin affects the immune, gastrointestinal and nervous systems in a paracrine, endocrine, and juxtacrine manner2.An extensive use or overdose of serotonergic drugs can lead to a rare life threatening syndrome called serotonin syndrome that includes mental status changes, neuromuscular abnormalities and autonomic hyperactivity3.
