描述 | The serotonergic system in the brain modulates many types of behavioural and physiological processes. An example of this modulatory function is seen with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) which enhance serotonin transmission and influence mood, anxiety states, aggression, feeding and sexual behaviour[3]. SSRIs are widely used antidepressants characterized by less-frequent adverse effects compared with classical anti-depressive agents. On the other hand, SSRI can cause hemorrhagic events more due to impaired platelet aggregation induced by a depletion of serotonin in the peripheral platelet[4].Escitalopram ((S)-Citalopram), the S-enantiomer of racemic Citalopram, is a SSRI with a Ki of 0.89 nM. Escitalopram has ∼30 fold higher binding affinity than its R(-)-enantiomer and shows selectivity over both dopamine transporter (DAT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET). Escitalopram is an antidepressant for the research of major depression[5].Escitalopram (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 28 days) ameliorates cognitive impairments and selectively attenuates phosphorylated tau accumulation in stressed rats[6].Chronic administration of Escitalopram (daily; drinking water for a total of 4 months) significantly reduces plaque load by 28% and 34% at 2.5 and 5 mg/d, respectively[7]. |
