Biological target:
Fluvoxamine maleate (DU-23000 maleate) is an antidepressant which functions pharmacologically as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
On the other hand, when cells were pre-treated with Flv (fluvoxamine) followed by co-treatment with Px/Flv for 24 h, the induction of CHOP, cleaved caspase 4 and cleaved caspase 3 were alleviated compared to the Flv-untreated cells (Fig. 2a–c, p<0.05, p<0.05, and p<0.01, respectively). Reference: Biochem Biophys Rep. 2015 Dec; 4: 202–206. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5668922/
In vivo activity:
As illustrated in Figure 5b, fluvoxamine at doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg, considerably decreased the expression of iNOS (P=0.02, P=0.01) in carrageenan induced paw edema in rats. COX-2 expression was significantly reduced by fluvoxamine at a dose of 50 mg/kg (P=0.04).
