General description

Fluoxetine hydrochloride or fluoxetine hcl 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®.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fluoxetine hcl (hydrochloride) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and functions as an antidepressant. This drug 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.

A radiopharmaceutical, (123)I-labeled 2-((2-((dimethylamino)methyl)phenyl)thio)-5-iodophenylamine ([(123)I]ADAM), has been developed recently for evaluation of how serotonin transporters (SERT) function in the brain. However, the detailed biodistribution and specific binding in certain brain areas are not well investigated. In this study, both phosphor
