SKU: orb1310602

Description

Fluoxetine hydrochloride (Lilly 110140) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used as an antidepressant with a favorable side-effect profile. It is widely employed in neuroscience research to study serotonin neurotransmission in both in vitro binding assays and in vivo behavioral models of depression.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Fluoxetine accelerates the maturation of immature neurons. It enhances the proliferation of new cells in the dentate gyrus of the adult rat hippocampus, strengthens neurodependent long-term potentiation in the hippocampal dentate gyrus, and increases the number of proliferating cells in the prefrontal cortex.
• In Vitro:
  When co-administered in adult male SD rats, fluoxetine and olanzapine induce a robust and sustained increase in extracellular dopamine levels, with concentrations surpassing baseline by 361% and 272%, respectively—significantly higher than when either drug is used alone. Additionally, fluoxetine reverses the prolonged latency of escape caused by unavoidable shocks in adult male SD rats.
