Paroxetine

Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, and other mental health conditions.
It works by increasing the availability of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain, which can help to improve mood and reduce symptoms.
Paroxetine is generally well-tolerated, but like other medications, it may have side effects such as nausea, dry mouth, and sleepiness.
It is important to work closely with a healthcare provider when taking paroxetine to ensure the dosage is appropriate and that any potential side effects are managed effectively.
The PubCompare.ai platform can help researchers optimize their paroxetine research by identifying the most reproducible and accurate protocols from the literature, preprints, and patents, streamlining the research process and enhancing the quality of the work.

We did a systematic review and network meta-analysis. We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, Embase, LILACS database, MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process, PsycINFO, AMED, the UK National Research Register, and PSYNDEX from the date of their inception to Jan 8, 2016, with no language restrictions. We used the search terms “depress*” OR “dysthymi*” OR “adjustment disorder*” OR “mood disorder*” OR “affective disorder” OR “affective symptoms” combined with a list of all included antidepressants.
We included double-blind, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing antidepressants with placebo or another active antidepressant as oral monotherapy for the acute treatment of adults (≥18 years old and of both sexes) with a primary diagnosis of major depressive disorder according to standard operationalised diagnostic criteria (Feighner criteria, Research Diagnostic Criteria, DSM-III, DSM-III-R, DSM-IV, DSM-5, and ICD-10). We considered only double-blind trials because we included placebo in the network meta-analysis, and because this study design increases methodological rigour by minimising performance and ascertainment biases.7 (link) Additionally, we included all second-generation antidepressants approved by the regulatory agencies in the USA, Europe, or Japan: agomelatine, bupropion, citalopram, desvenlafaxine, duloxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, levomilnacipran, milnacipran, mirtazapine, paroxetine, reboxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine, vilazodone, and vortioxetine. To inform clinical practice globally, we selected the two tricyclics (amitriptyline and clomipramine) included in the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines). We also included trazodone and nefazodone, because of their distinct effect and tolerability profiles. Additionally, we included trials that allowed rescue medications so long as they were equally provided among the randomised groups. We included data only for drugs within the therapeutic range (appendix pp 133, 134). Finally, we excluded quasi-randomised trials and trials that were incomplete or included 20% or more of participants with bipolar disorder, psychotic depression, or treatment-resistant depression; or patients with a serious concomitant medical illness.
The electronic database searches were supplemented with manual searches for published, unpublished, and ongoing RCTs in international trial registers, websites of drug approval agencies, and key scientific journals in the field.8 For example, we searched ClinicalTrials.gov using the search term “major depressive disorder” combined with a list of all included antidepressants. We contacted all the pharmaceutical companies marketing antidepressants and asked for supplemental unpublished information about both premarketing and post-marketing studies, with a specific focus on second-generation antidepressants. We also contacted study authors and drug manufacturers to supplement incomplete reports of the original papers or provide data for unpublished studies.
Six pairs of investigators (ACi, TAF, LZA, SL, HGR, YO, NT, YH, EHT, HI, KS, and AT) independently selected the studies, reviewed the main reports and supplementary materials, extracted the relevant information from the included trials, and assessed the risk of bias. Any discrepancies were resolved by consensus and arbitration by a panel of investigators within the review team (ACi, TAF, LZA, EHT, and JRG).
The full protocol of this network meta-analysis has been published.8

The hSERT constructs were expressed as C-terminal GFP fusions using baculovirus-mediated transduction of mammalian HEK-293S GnTI cells, as previously described25 (link),52 (link). Cells were subsequently solubilized in 50 mM Tris pH 8, 150 mM NaCl containing 20 mM DDM, 2.5 mM cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHS), 0.5 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) in the presence of 1 μM inhibitor (paroxetine, (S)-citalopram, or Br-citalopram). The lysate was passed over 10 ml of Strep Tactin resin, washed with 18 column volumes of 1 mM DDM, 0.2 mM CHS, 5% glycerol, 25 μM lipid (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol at a molar ratio of 1:1:1), and 1 μM ligand in TBS. SERT was eluted in the same buffer containing 5 mM desthiobiotin. The N- and C-terminus containing GFP and purification tags were removed by thrombin digestion and N-linked sugars were truncated using EndoH. SERT was mixed with recombinant 8B6 Fab at a 1:1.2 molar ratio. In the case of Br-citalopram complexed at the central site, Fab purified from hybridoma cells was used. The resulting complexes were further purified by size exclusion chromatography in TBS supplemented with 40 mM n-octyl β-D-maltoside, 0.5 mM CHS, 5% glycerol, 25 μM lipid, and 1 μM inhibitor. The purified SERT-8B6 complex was concentrated to 2 mg/ml−1 and the transporter solution was spiked with 10 μM inhibitor and 1 μM 8B6 Fab, final concentrations, immediately prior to crystallization.

All OCD patients were recruited and examined during their treatment at the Department of Psychiatry (LWL-University Hospital of the Medical Faculty of Ruhr-University Bochum, special outpatient clinic for OCDs). Examination of the healthy volunteers also took place at the LWL-University Hospital Bochum and recruitment was via notices and flyers.
Patients and healthy volunteers aged 18–67 years were included. Further inclusion criteria were a verbal IQ > 70, sufficient German language skills and the ability to give informed consent according to the Helsinki and ICH-GCP declarations. Exclusion criteria for the study were: severe somatic diseases; other mental diseases, such as reduced intelligence (ICD10 F70–F70.9), schizophrenia (ICD10 F20–F20.9) or organic brain disorders (ICD10 F06–F06.9, dependence on illegal drugs); acute suicidal tendencies or behaviour endangering others; and lack of informed consent to participate in the study.
Furthermore, psychopharmacotherapy was not an exclusion criterion for patients with OCD. In this respect, 96.8% of the patients (n = 30) received monotherapy, whereby antidepressants from the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor group [e.g. sertraline (n = 21), escitalopram, paroxetine, fluoxetine] but also clomipramine (a tricyclic antidepressant) were predominantly used. Moreover, seven of the patients received a combination treatment (mainly a sedating antipsychotic medication, e.g. promethazine or quetiapine). At the time of inclusion in the study, 12 patients were receiving psychotherapeutic treatment (validation therapy: n = 9; deep psychology: n = 3). Only five of the patients (16.1%) with OCD had not received psychotherapy at the time of study inclusion, either currently or in the past. A detailed anamnesis was taken from all OCD patients and healthy volunteers in a semi-structured interview (duration 45–60 min). The psychometric characteristics, including shame and guilty proneness, were gathered using various questionnaires.
The study was approved by the local Ethics Committee (No. 20–6883) of the Medical Faculty of Ruhr-University Bochum.

The National Exhibition and Convention Centre of Shanghai Fangcang Shelter Hospital were constructed as a temporary medical building for the admission and hospitalisation of infected patients with moderate and mild COVID-19 symptoms. It received 174,308 infected patients from 9 April 2022 to 31 May 2022. The infected patients were cured to discharge or transferred to a designated hospital for treatment with severe symptoms. The information of infected patients who used the drugs as listed (risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, paroxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine, flupentixol-melitracen, escitalopram oxalate, zolpidem tartrate, estazolam) was collected as the drug intervention group. Patients diagnosed of schizophrenia were mainly prescribed with risperidone, olanzapine and quetiapine. For depression diagnosis, patients were prescribed with paroxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine, flupentixol-melitracen or escitalopram oxalate according their individual specific symptom. Patients with insomnia were prescribed with zolpidem. And patients with symptoms of anxiety or sleep disorders were intervened with estazolam. The information was integrated when the infected individual used different drugs were classified listed as schizophrenia, depression, insomnia, anxiety or sleep disorder according to the symptom severity from severe to mild. A total of 6,218 individuals treated with the list drugs in the Fangcang shelter hospital were processed. Simultaneously, information of a corresponding comparable control group of 30,000 infected patients who has no listed psychiatric drug intervention was randomly drawn out based on the number of patients in the drug intervention group.

Long-term exposures. For long-term exposure experiments, 5 dpf juvenile zebrafish were exposed to Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, or Sertraline at 10, 100 or 200 μg/L, based on previously published work [21 (link),29 (link),30 (link),31 (link),32 (link),33 (link)], for a total of 135 days.
Mixtures of all three SSRIs at equal concentrations that, when combined, added up to 10, 100, or 200 µg/L were also tested. Since Sertraline working stocks were made in DMSO, the resulting 10, 100, and 200 µg/L Sertraline exposures contained negligible concentrations of DMSO (0.0001, 0.001, and 0.002 % (v/v), respectively) and the resulting 10, 100, and 200 µg/L SSRI mixture exposures also contained negligible concentrations of DMSO (0.000033, 0.0003, and 0.0006% (v/v), respectively).
Each tank contained up to 50 fish from 5–30 dpf or up to 15 fish from 30–170 dpf. There were three replicate tanks for each exposure group along with a separate tank for controls. Controls were not exposed to SSRIs but were housed in otherwise identical conditions. Water was renewed every 5 days with working stocks of SSRIs pipetted directly into a new tank containing 2 L of clean water. An additional 400 mL of clean water was then added to the tank to ensure proper mixing of the drug. Fish were then transferred by netting to a new exposure tank. Exposures were followed by a 2-week washout period before a second breeding assessment was carried out for another 2 weeks (Figure 1a). Fish were euthanized at the conclusion of the study.
Short-term exposures. For short-term experiments, adult fish (10–14 months old) were exposed to the same SSRIs as for the long-term experiments or their combination at 10 μg/L for 3 weeks and breeding was assessed for 2 weeks (35 day exposure). This was followed by a 2-week washout period before a second breeding assessment was carried out for another 2 weeks (Figure 1b). Each exposure group had three replicate tanks along with a control (untreated) group; each tank contained 20 fish. Fish were euthanized at the conclusion of the study.

More about "Paroxetine"

Paroxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), is a widely used medication for the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, and other mental health conditions.
This antidepressant drug works by increasing the availability of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain, which can help improve mood and reduce symptoms.
Paroxetine, also known by its brand names Paxil and Seroxat, is generally well-tolerated, but like other medications, it may have side effects such as nausea, dry mouth, and drowsiness.
It is important to work closely with a healthcare provider when taking paroxetine to ensure the dosage is appropriate and that any potential side effects are managed effectively.
Researchers can optimize their paroxetine research by utilizing the PubCompare.ai platform, which can help identify the most reproducible and accurate protocols from the literature, preprints, and patents.
This can streamline the research process and enhance the quality of the work.
Paroxetine is similar to other SSRI medications like fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), and citalopram (Celexa), which also work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain.
To further enhance your paroxetine research, you may also want to explore related topics such as [3H]paroxetine (a radioactive derivative of paroxetine used in binding studies), imipramine (a tricyclic antidepressant), fluvoxamine (another SSRI), and [3H]5-HT (a radioactive form of the neurotransmitter serotonin).
Additionally, duloxetine, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), may be of interest as it shares some similarities with paroxetine in its mechanism of action and clinical applications.
