Inhibition of aggressiveness in SI male mice and in vitro inhibition of 5-HT uptake into rat synaptosomes by FLX and NFLX stereoisomers
Drug tested | Inhibition of aggressive behavior, IC50, μmol/kg | Inhibition of 5-HT uptake,*Ki, nM |
---|---|---|
R/S-FLX | 1.08 ± 0.015† | 20 ± 2 |
S-FLX | 0.71 ± 0.03‡ | 22 ± 3 |
R-FLX | 1.3 ± 0.024 | 35 ± 5 |
S-NFLX | 0.2 ± 0.08§ | 14 ± 4¶ |
R-NFLX | 1.53 ± 0.2 | 309 ± 22 |
Data are from Wong et al. (17).
P < 0.05 when R/S-FLX is compared to S-FLX or R-FLX. IC50 values were calculated according to the method of Tallarida and Murray (26).
P < 0.01 when S-FLX is compared to R-FLX.
P < 0.001 when S-NFLX is compared to R-NFLX and S-FLX.
¶P < 0.001 when S-NFLX is compared to R-NFLX.
