Biological Description

Chemical Properties

Storage & Solubility Information

Description	Fluoxetine is the first highly specific serotonin uptake inhibitor. It is used as an antidepressant and often has a more acceptable side-effects profile than traditional antidepressants.
In vitro	Fluoxetine blocks the downregulation of cell proliferation resulting from inescapable shock (IS) of hippocampal cell[1]. Fluoxetine increases the number of newborn cells in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus of adult rats which also increases the number of proliferating cells in the prelimbic cortex[2]. Fluoxetine accelerates the maturation of immature neurons. Fluoxetine enhances neurogenesis-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) in the dentate gyrus[3]. Fluoxetine, but not citalopram, fluvoxamine, paroxetine and sertraline, increases norepinephrine and dopamine extracellular levels in prefrontal cortex. Fluoxetine produces robust and sustained increases in extracellular concentrations of norepinephrine and dopamine after acute systemic administration[4].
In vivo	Fluoxetine treatment also reverses the escape latency deficit observed in animals exposed to inescapable shock in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats[1]. Fluoxetine (5 mg/kg) alone increases cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus. Compared to the controls, Coadministration (fluoxetine 5 mg/kg + olanzapine) also significantly increases the number of BrdU-positive cells [2]. Fluoxetine combined with Olanzapine produces robust, sustained increases of extracellular levels of dopamine ([DA](ex)) and norepinephrine ([NE](ex)) up to 361% and 272% of the baseline, respectively, which are significantly greater than either drug alone[5].
