Design and optimisation of selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors with high synthetic accessibility: part 2.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett

Discovery Chemistry, Pfizer Global Research and Development, Sandwich, United Kingdom.

Published: October 2009

A second wave of potential SSRIs with high ease of synthetic accessibility were designed based on the reported selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor litoxetine and our own previous work in this area. Preparation and subsequent optimisation yielded a range of potent and highly selective SSRIs.

Paroxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is widely used in the clinical treatment of depression. While several antidepressants show promise as geroprotectors, the role of paroxetine in aging remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the lifespan extension effect of paroxetine in Caenorhabditis elegans (C.

Psychedelics are known to induce profound perceptual distortions, yet the neural mechanisms underlying these effects, particularly within the auditory system, remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of the psychedelic compound 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI), a serotonin 2A receptor agonist, on the activity of neurons in the auditory cortex of awake mice. We examined whether DOI administration alters sound-frequency tuning, variability in neural responses, and deviance detection (a neural process reflecting the balance between top-down and bottom-up processing).

Functional Regrowth of Norepinephrine Axons in the Adult Mouse Brain Following Injury.

It is widely believed that axons in the central nervous system of adult mammals do not regrow following injury. This failure is thought, at least in part, to underlie the limited recovery of function following injury to the brain or spinal cord. Some studies of fixed tissue have suggested that, counter to dogma, norepinephrine (NE) axons regrow following brain injury.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common chronic pain with no established treatment. Acupuncture is an expected treatment for FM though a diagnosis of FM tends to be delayed, and the advantage is still unclear in early-phase intervention with acupuncture treatment for FM. A 51-year-old woman with panic disorder presented with a four-month history of whole-body pain and was diagnosed with FM.

Importance: Sexual dysfunction in individuals suffering from depression may be both a symptom of the disorder and a side effect of antidepressants. To date, and to our knowledge, no randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of acupressure on sexual function in women of reproductive age who take antidepressants.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of acupressure on sexual function in women of reproductive age taking Selective Serotonin Reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
