Lithium chloride hydrate, an orally active mood stabilizer, is a potent virus inhibitor and effective immunomodulatory agent. Lithium chloride hydrate has antidepressant activity by inhibiting GSK3β and promoting neurogenesis. Lithium chloride hydrate alleviates cognition dysfunction and the symptoms of acute mania and depression. Lithium chloride hydrate can also be used for research of virus infection and Alzheimer’s disease[1][2][3].
Lithium chloride hydrate (5 and 20 mM, 36 h) inhibits cytopathy and IBV replication in IBV Beaudette-infected BHK cells[1].
Lithium chloride hydrate (5 and 20 mM, 36 h) inhibits IBV-induced BHK cell apoptosis and inflammation[1].
Lithium chloride hydrate (1 mg/mL) improves the efficiency of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurospheres[4].
Lithium chloride hydrate (1.2 mM, 72 h) protects PC12 cells from Morphine (HY-P1701)-induced apoptosis[5].
Lithium chloride hydrate (60 mg/kg, i.p., twice a day) improves Sevoflurane (SEV)-induced memory impairment in rats[2].
Lithium chloride hydrate (150 mg/kg, p.o., every other day) stimulates bone formation in extraction socket repair in rats[5].
