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

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.
