Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Paroxetine is a potent and one of the most specific selective serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).It acts by binding to ST (serotonin transporter/SERT) with high affinity. Paroxetine binds to the pre-synaptic serotonin transporter complex resulting in negative allosteric modulation of the complex thereby blocking reuptake of serotonin by the pre-synaptic transporter. Paroxetine HCl has also displayed a high affinity for muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.

Biological target:
Paroxetine hydrochloride is a potent selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor, commonly prescribed as an GRK2 inhibitor with IC50 of 14 μM.
In vitro activity:
Paroxetine significantly inhibited LPS-induced production of nitric oxide (NO) and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1β. Further analysis showed inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and mRNA expression of TNF-α and IL-1β were attenuated by paroxetine pretreatment. Analyses in signaling pathways demonstrated that paroxetine led to suppression of LPS-induced JNK1/2 activation and baseline ERK1/2 activity, but had little effect on the activation of p38 and p65/NF-κB. Reference: J Neuroinflammation. 2014 Mar 12;11:47. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24618100/
In vivo activity:
This study investigated whether paroxetine reduces myocardial ROS formation and LV remodeling following a MI. Diastolic LV volume, evaluated by MRI (417 ± 60 vs. 511 ± 64 µL, p < 0.05), and echocardiography (515 ± 80 vs. 596 ± 83 µL, p < 0.05) as well as diastolic LV internal diameter evaluated with echocardiography (7.2 ± 0.6 vs. 8.1 ± 0.7 mm, p < 0.05) were lower in the paroxetine group than in controls. Furthermore, myocyte cross-sectional area was reduced in the paroxetine group compared with controls (277 ± 26 vs. 354 ± 23 mm3, p < 0.05) and ROS formation was reduced in the remote myocardium (0.415 ± 0.19 normalized to controls, p < 0.05). Finally, paroxetine reduced the susceptibility to ventricular tachycardia (induced in 2/11 vs. 6/8 rats, p < 0.05). Paroxetine treatment following MI decreases LV remodeling and susceptibility to arrhythmias, probably by reducing ROS formation.
