Evaluation of 3H-paroxetine as a radioligand for in vivo study of 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake sites in mouse brain.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The distribution of radioactivity in the mouse brain after intravenous administration of 3H-paroxetine was in the order (highest to lowest) hypothalamus greater than cerebral cortex greater than cerebellum. The radioactivity in the hypothalamus and cerebral cortex after injection of 3H-paroxetine was significantly decreased by treatment with 6-nitroquipazine or paroxetine. HPLC and TLC analyses show that no radioactive metabolites were found in the mouse brain 3 h after intravenous administration of 3H-paroxetine. The present results indicate that 3H-paroxetine would be a suitable radioligand for in vivo study of 5-HT uptake sites in mouse brain.

Paroxetine as an in vivo indicator of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine neurotoxicity: a presynaptic serotonergic positron emission tomography ligand?
The present study sought to determine whether [3H]paroxetine, a potent and selective inhibitor of serotonin uptake in vitro, could be used to label the serotonin transporter in the rat brain in vivo such that it might be employed to develop a presynaptic serotonergic positron emission tomography ligand. Tritium labeled paroxetine was administered intravenously to rats by means of tail vein inje...

The biologically active S-enantiomer of [N-methyl-11C]citalopram was evaluated as a radioligand for in vivo labelling of the 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake site in brain, using ex vivo tissue counting in rats and positron emission tomography in man. In rats, the maximal signal for total versus non-specific binding was approx. 2 at 60-120 min after radioligand injection. Subsequent studies in man fa...

[3H]Irnipramine and [3H]paroxetine label with high affinity a site associated with the serotonin transporter in brain and platelets. The maximum binding capacity (BmaX) of [3H]imipramine in platelets is reduced in untreated depressed patients, and it may represent a useful biological marker in depression. The existence of an endogenous ligand acting on the [3H]imipramine-recognition site to mod...

The serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) uptake sites assessed with both [3H]imipramine and [3H]paroxetine, and the 5-HT2A receptors were simultaneously measured in platelets from 24 male subjects meeting the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-IV criteria for alcohol dependence and admitted for inpatient detoxification. Blood samples from alcoholic patients were collected during acute alco...

These studies assessed the neurotoxic potential of N-methyl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-aminopropane (para-methoxymethamphetamine; PMMA), an amphetamine analog that has surfaced in the illicit drug market. Repeated subcutaneous injections of PMMA caused lasting, dose-related reductions in regional brain concentrations of serotonin (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), and in the density of ...
