escitalopram

Escitalopram (Seroplex) is a furancarbonitrile that is one of the SEROTONIN UPTAKE INHIBITORS used as an antidepressant. The drug is also effective in reducing ethanol uptake in alcoholics and is used in depressed patients who also suffer from tardive dyskinesia in preference to tricyclic antidepressants, which aggravate this condition.

Escitalopram Oxalate ((S)-(+)Citalopram oxalate) is a selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) with Ki of 0.89 nM.

Citalopram (Lu 10-171 is an orally active, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitor, and a racemic mixture of the S(+)-enantiomer (Escitalopram) and the R(-)-enantiomer.Citalopram exhibits antidepressant activity and enhances serotonergic neurotransmission. It can be used to study Alzheimer's disease.

This compound is a dual 5-HT1A 5-HT7 receptor antagonist (5-HT1A Ki = 8 nM, Kb = 0.04 nM; 5-HT7 Ki = 451 nM, Kb = 460 nM) with additional inhibitory activity against PDE4B PDE7A (PDE4B IC50 = 80.4 μM; PDE7A IC50 = 151.3 μM). Its antidepressant-like effect surpasses that of the reference agent, escitalopram.

(R)-Citalopram oxalate is a less active enantiomer of Escitalopram Oxalate. Escitalopram Oxalate is a potent and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

Citalopram-d6 is a deuterated compound of Citalopram. Citalopram has a CAS number of 59729-33-8. Citalopram (Lu 10-171 is an orally active, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitor, and a racemic mixture of the S(+)-enantiomer (Escitalopram) and the R(-)-enantiomer.Citalopram exhibits antidepressant activity and enhances serotonergic neurotransmission. It can be used to study Alzheimer's disease.
