Description

General description

Fluoxetine hydrochloride is a psychotropic agent and one of the initial members of the anti-depressant class of drugs known as selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is the active ingredient of Prozac^®.

Application

Fluoxetine hydrochloride has been used to study its effect on the binding ability of the radiopharmaceutical 123I-labeled 2-((2-((dimethylamino)methyl)phenyl)thio)-5-iodophenylamine (^[123I]ADAM) to SERT (serotonin transporters) in mice. It has also been used for the chronic treatment of light deprived animals.It has also been used as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor to study its effects on acute stress in fish.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fluoxetine hydrochloride works at presynaptic terminals where it prevents the reuptake of serotonin, resulting in the accumulation of serotonin in extracellular fluid at synapses.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; antidepressant.
