Blockage of 5HT2C Serotonin Receptors by Fluoxetine (Prozac)

Fluoxetine (Prozac) inhibited the membrane currents elicited by serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5HT) in Xenopus oocytes expressing either cloned 5HT2C receptors or 5HT receptors encoded by rat cortex mRNA. Responses of 5HT2C receptors, elicited by nM concentrations of 5HT, were rapidly and reversibl...

description Fluoxetine (Prozac) inhibited the membrane currents elicited by serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5HT) in Xenopus oocytes expressing either cloned 5HT2C receptors or 5HT receptors encoded by rat cortex mRNA. Responses of 5HT2C receptors, elicited by nM concentrations of 5HT, were rapidly and reversibly blocked by micromolar concentrations of fluoxetine. For responses elicited by 1 μ M 5HT, the IC50 of fluoxetine inhibition was ≈ 20 μ M. In accord with the electrophysiological results, fluoxetine inhibited the binding of [3H]5HT to 5HT2C receptors expressed in HeLa cells (Ki≈ 65-97 nM), and the binding to 5HT receptors in rat cortex membranes was also inhibited but less efficiently (Ki≈ 56 μ M). Our results show that fluoxetine is a competitive and reversible antagonist of 5HT2C receptors and suggest that some therapeutic effects of fluoxetine may involve blockage of 5HT receptors, in addition to its known blockage of 5HT transporters. Similar work may help to design more selective compounds for use in the treatment of brain disorders.
