Comparative pharmacology of selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
TLDR
Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are those which have a high potency ratio of 5-HT-uptakes inhibition as compared to NA-uptaking inhibition, together with slight or no effect on other uptake mechanisms, neurotransmitter receptors, enzymes, etc.
Biochemical effects of the antidepressant paroxetine, a specific 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake inhibitor
TLDR
Paroxetine provides a useful pharmacological tool for investigating 5-HT systems and furthermore should be an antidepressant with reduced tricyclic-like side-effects.
Antagonism by citalopram and tianeptine of presynaptic 5-HT1B heteroreceptors inhibiting acetylcholine release.
LY227942, an inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine uptake: biochemical pharmacology of a potential antidepressant drug.
Development of antidepressant drugs. Fluoxetine (Prozac) and other selective serotonin uptake inhibitors.
TLDR
Some of the background which attracted the attention, and some studies on the chemical series of phenoxyphenylpropylamines and the enantiomers of fluoxetine and its major metabolite norfluoxetines as inhibitors of 5-HT and NE uptake in vitro are presented.
Alaproclate, a new selective 5-HT uptake inhibitor with therapeutic potential in depression and senile dementia
TLDR
Alaproclate was found to display a regional selectivity in blocking 5-HT uptake in vivo (measured with the H 75/12-method) and was most potent in the hippocampus and hypothalamus followed by striatum and cerebral cortex with a low potency in the spinal cord.
Serotonin autoreceptor subsensitivity and antidepressant activity.
Escitalopram, the S-(+)-enantiomer of citalopram, is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor with potent effects in animal models predictive of antidepressant and anxiolytic activities
TLDR
Escitalopram is a very selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitor which is effective in animal models predictive of antidepressant and anxiolytic activities and had very potent anti-aggressive effects when co-administered with l-5-HTP.
Effects of citalopram, a synthetic serotonin uptake inhibitor, on indoleamine and catecholamine concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid of freely moving rats

  • 1995
TLDR
CSF results appear to reflect selective inhibition of 5-HT uptake in brain tissues by citalopram that is not associated with changes in catecholamines, indicating that there is coordination of the serotonin and kynurenine pathways in normal rats.
Serotonin uptake inhibitors: uses in clinical therapy and in laboratory research.

TLDR
Serotonin uptake inhibitors have helped in revealing some dynamics of serotonin neurons; for example, when uptake is inhibited and extracellular serotonin concentration increases, presynaptic as well as postsynaptic receptors for serotonin are activated to a greater degree.

TLDR
The most commonly used classical antidepressants and some prominent representatives of the newer classes of uptake inhibitors in the same standardised test procedures in vivo and in vitro are compared.
Effect of antidepressants, lithium and electroconvulsive treatment on rat serum prolactin levels
TLDR
The ability of bupropion and mazindol to inhibit alpha‐methylparatyrosine‐ induced prolactin secretion, and of nomifensine to inhibit reserpine‐induced prolact in secretion, is consistent with other evidence that these agents are indirect dopamine (DA) agonists.
Antidepressants and serotonin neurons of the raphe.
TLDR
The 'capillary effect' differentiates antidepressant drugs acting specifically on 5-HT or NA neurons, and may be considered together with other parameters which also indicate asymmetries on the modes of action of antidepressant drugs, such as effects on monoamine turnover and on receptor sensitivity.

Effect of antidepressant drugs on accumulation and disappearance of monoamines formed in vivo from labelled precursors in mouse brain
TLDR
The effect of some tricyclic antidepressants on the accumulation and disappearance of labelled 5-HT (3H-5-HT), dopamine and noradrenaline formed in mouse brain in vivo after the administration of [3H]tryptophan or [14C]tyrosine intravenously is reported.

Effect of a new series of bicyclic compounds with potential thymoleptic properties on the reserpine‐resistant uptake mechanism of central and peripheral monoamine neurones in vivo and in vitro
TLDR
It is concluded that the Lu‐compounds have a selective action on the membrane pump mechanism of the central and peripheral NA neurones, and behave like desipramine and protriptyline.
