Citalopram → Serotonin

Participants

Reaction Steps

The affinity was determined by competition experiments using [3H]-paroxetine. The membranes are prepared from the frontal cortex of the rat and are incubated in triplicate with 0.25 nM [3H]-paroxetine and the compound being tested in a final volume of 0.4 ml, for 2 hours at 25° C. The incubation buffer contains 50 mM TRIS-HCl (pH 7.4), 120 mM NaCl and 5 mM KCN. The non-specific binding is determined using 10 μM citalopram.
