Biological Activity for Fluoxetine hydrochloride

Fluoxetine hydrochloride is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Binds to the human 5-HT transporter with a K_i of 0.9 nmol/l and is between 150- and 900-fold selective over 5-HT_1A, 5-HT_2A, H₁, α₁, α₂-adrenergic, and muscarinic receptors. Antidepressant. Induces differentiation of neuronal precursors, enhancing neuronal characteristics. Fluoxetine also inhibits assembly and activation of the NLRP3-ASC inflammasome and prevents degeneration of retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) cells in an animal model of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
