Assessing the Mechanism of Fluoxetine-Mediated CYP2D6 Inhibition
Fluoxetine is still one of the most widely used antidepressants in the world. The drug is extensively metabolized by several cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes and subjected to a myriad of CYP450-mediated drug interactions.

In vitro modulation of estrogen receptor activity by norfluoxetine [PDF]
Background & Aims: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are antidepressants increasingly prescribed for pregnancy and postpartum depression. However, these compounds can cross the placenta and also pass into breast milk, thus reaching the fetus and infant during critical developmental stages, potentially causing adverse effects ...

Multiple Effects of Echinochrome A on Selected Ion Channels Implicated in Skin Physiology
Echinochrome A (Ech A), a naphthoquinoid pigment from sea urchins, is known to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects that have been suggested to be mediated by antioxidant activity and intracellular signaling modulation.

Fluoxetine and its metabolite norfluoxetine induce microglial apoptosis [PDF]
AbstractInflammatory insult to the central nervous system (CNS) can lead to development of depression, and subsequently depression is the most frequent psychiatric comorbidity following ischemic stroke, often limiting recovery and rehabilitation in patients. The initiators of inflammatory pathways in the CNS are microglia activated in response to acute

Unraveling the Molecular Reason of Opposing Effects of α-Mangostin and Norfluoxetine on TREK-2 at the Same Binding Site. [PDF]
TWIK‐related K+ channel (TREK)‐2 has been considered as a promising target for the development of new analgesics, and it was demonstrated that α‐mangostin, a potent activator of TREK‐2, shares a binding site with the well‐known inhibitor of TREK‐2, norfluoxetine.

Quantitative cross-species extrapolation between humans and fish: the case of the anti-depressant fluoxetine. [PDF]
Fish are an important model for the pharmacological and toxicological characterization of human pharmaceuticals in drug discovery, drug safety assessment and environmental toxicology. However, do fish respond to pharmaceuticals as humans do?
