Description of Fluvoxamine

Fluvoxamine is a selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) with antidepressant activity[1, 2]. Fluvoxamine is a σ1 receptor agonist and increases the extracellular levels of monoamines in the prefrontal cortex[3]. Fluvoxamine activates 5-HT3 and sigma-1 receptors in the prefrontal cortex of C57BL/6 mice subjected to chronic stress, thereby promoting glutamate release[4].

In vitro, Fluvoxamine (0-50μM) treatment of three different human glioblastoma cell lines (A172, U87-MG, and U251-MG) significantly inhibited cell migration in a dose-dependent manner, and also inhibited U87-MG cell invasion[5].

In vivo, oral administration of Fluvoxamine (25, 50, 100, 200mg/kg) to rats with gastric ulcers significantly reduced ulceration and increased the levels of antioxidant markers (total glutathione and nitric oxide) in the gastric tissue[6]. Intraperitoneal injection of Fluvoxamine (20mg/kg) in rats with cerebral ischemia significantly improved motor function, reduced infarct volume, and ameliorated neurological deficits[7].

Protocol of Fluvoxamine

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

A172, U87-MG, U251-MG cells

Preparation Method

A172, U87-MG, and U251-MG cells were serum-starved for 24h, treated with Fluvoxamine (0, 25, or 50μM), and processed for wound-healing assay.

Reaction Conditions

0, 25, 50μM; 24h

Applications

Fluvoxamine effectively inhibited the migration of three different human GBM cell lines (A172, U87-MG, and U251-MG) in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Wistar rats

Preparation Method

Groups of rats fasted for 24h received Fluvoxamine (25, 50, 100 and 200mg/kg), ranitidine (50mg/kg) or distilled water by oral gavage. Indomethacin (25mg/kg) was orally administered to the rats as an ulcerative agent. Six hours after ulcer induction, the stomachs of the rats were excised and an ulcer index determined. Separate groups of rats were treated with the same doses of Fluvoxamine and ranitidine, but not with indomethacin, to test effects of these drugs alone on biochemical parameters. The stomachs were evaluated biochemically to determine oxidant and antioxidant parameters.

Dosage form

25, 50, 100, 200mg/kg; p.o.

Applications

The 25, 50, 100 and 200mg/kg doses of Fluvoxamine exerted antiulcer effects of 48.5, 67.5, 82.1 and 96.1%, respectively, compared to the control rat group.
