Gene Information
General description
Citalopram is a bicyclic phthalene derivative. It initiates serotonergic activity, which produces antidepressant action. Citalopram hydrobromide reverses memory impairment. It is used to treat obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, sociophobia and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
Application
Citalopram hydrobromide has been used:
- to examine its effects on sirt mRNA and mammalian sirtuins (SIRT) expression in mice
- to monitor body temperature and antidepressant-like behavioral responses in the forced swim test for rats
- for 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) competition uptake assays
Biochem/physiol Actions
Potent and selective serotonin uptake inhibitor (Ki = 5.4 nM); antidepressant
