| Bioactivity | Citalopram hydrobromide is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Citalopram hydrobromide inhibits 5-HT uptake into synaptosomes with an IC50 of 1.8 nM. Citalopram hydrobromideinhibits the 5-HT uptake in rabbit blood platelets with an IC50 of 14 nM. Antidepressant effect[1]. |
| Invitro | Citalopram（25-150 μM) shows a concentration-dependent cytotoxicity on the viability of rat B104, human SH-SY5Y, IMR32 and Kelly neuroblastoma cell lines and human primary Schwann cells (HSC)[2]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line: |
| In Vivo | Acute administration of Citalopram (1-10 mg/kg, i.p. 1 h before an elevated plus-maze test) to Spontaneously Hypertensive rats (SHRs), Lewis (LEW) rats, and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, i.e., rat strains differing for their emotionality, promotes anxiety, and/or hypoactivity, except in WKY rats. In the three strains, such a pretreatment increased central 5-HT levels and/or decreased 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid levels[3]. Animal Model: |
