General description

Fluoxetine hydrochloride is a psychotropic agent and one of the initial members of the anti-depressant class of drugs known as selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is the active ingredient of Prozac®.[1][2]

Application

Fluoxetine hydrochloride has been used to study its effect on the binding ability of the radiopharmaceutical 123I-labeled 2-((2-((dimethylamino)methyl)phenyl)thio)-5-iodophenylamine ([123I]ADAM) to SERT (serotonin transporters) in mice.[2] It has also been used for the chronic treatment of light deprived animals.[3]It has also been used as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor to study its effects on acute stress in fish.[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fluoxetine hydrochloride works at presynaptic terminals where it prevents the reuptake of serotonin, resulting in the accumulation of serotonin in extracellular fluid at synapses.[2]
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; antidepressant.

Questions

1–4 of 4 Questions  
  1. Good morning, can it be used for controlled release research with zein, and what would be its solubility and purity?

    1 answer
    1. Based on an online search, the use of zein in controlled release is typically for poorly water-soluble drugs. If that is the case, then this product may not be suitable for this purpose, as the solubility specification is 10 mg/mL in water, resulting in a clear solution. Purity by TLC is ≥ 98%.

    1. The solubility of Fluoxetine hydrochloride is as follows:
      • Soluble in water: 3.46 mg/mL
      •Soluble in DMSO: 34.58 ng/mL.

      After reconstitution, it is recommended to store stock solutions in tightly sealed vials at -20°C or below and to use them within 1 month.

  4. Good day, I wanted to know if buying the 10 mg fluoxetine product would mean the customer would receive a pack of multiple 10 mg fluoxetine pills or if it means the product would just be 10 mg of the drug. Any information will be appreciated. Thank you.

    1 answer
    1. This product is in powder form and is intended for research use only. It is not suitable for any other purpose, which includes, but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial use, in vitro diagnostic use, or therapeutic use in humans or animals.
