We verify the structure using mutagenesis and confirm that the conformation corresponds to the active state of the receptor. Subsequent study of TrkB interaction with the antidepressant drug fluoxetine, and the antipsychotic drug chlorpromazine, provides a clear self-consistent model, describing the mechanism by which fluoxetine activates the receptor by binding to its transmembrane domain.

NTRK2 (Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor, type 2)
One hour before CUMS, rats were given a treatment with acupuncture, electroacupuncture, sham-acupuncture, or fluoxetine (2.1 mg/kg)...Additionally, our findings indicate that acupuncture also modulates the ERK and Caspase-3 apoptotic pathways in the hippocampus of CUMS rats. This study suggests that acupuncture may play a potential preventive role by regulating hippocampal neuroinflammatory response, levels of oxidative stress, apoptotic processes, and enhancing synaptic plasticity.
Fluoxetine and CUR-N373 can inhibit CVB4 replication in macrophage cultures...The cytolytic activity of activated GM-CSF macrophages was higher towards CVB4-persistently infected 1.1B4 cells than mock-infected 1.1B4 cells. In conclusion, macrophages may play a role in CVB4 infection of pancreatic cells, and are capable of inducing lysis of infected pancreatic cells.
Gps improved the antioxidative stress capacity of the hippocampus and promoted mitophagy in CUMS rats through SIRT1, thus protecting hippocampal neurons and improving depression-like behavior.
The rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, CD300f blocker(CLM1, 2 μg·kg~(-1)) group, CD300f agonist(Fcγ, 5 μg·kg~(-1)) group, positive drug(0.18 g·kg~(-1) metformin+1.8 mg·kg~(-1) fluoxetine) group, and high-dose and low-dose(20.52 and 10.26 g·kg~(-1)) Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula groups. They could up-regulate the protein expression of presyna-ptic membrane SYN and postsynaptic membrane PSD-95 in hippocampal neurons and finally improve the damage to the hippocampal synaptic microenvironment. In conclusion, this research confirmed that Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula effectively alleviated the depression-like behavior and inhibited inflammatory activation of microglial cells in the hippocampus of rats with DD, and the mechanism might be related to the regulation of CD300f/TLR4 signal to alleviate the damage to hippocampal synaptic microenvironment.
Age, antidepressant type, duration of antidepressant use, and comorbidities could be risk factors for NAFLD in patients with depression. Furthermore, mirtazapine can cause steatosis in both AML-12 and MIHA cell lines and may promote the development of NAFLD through the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway. This study lays a solid foundation for further research on depression and NAFLD and can contribute to the prevention and treatment of these two diseases.
From 15 th to the 22 nd day, the animals received RIP I or RIP II (50 mg/kg) or fluoxetine (FLU, 10 mg/kg) or vehicle, by gavage...RIP I and RIP II reversed these alterations. These results contribute to the understanding the mechanisms underlying the antidepressant effect of RIP I and RIP II, which may be related to neuroinflammatory suppression.

In Part 1, the rats were divided into the control group, the model group, the model + Jingqianshu group, and the model + fluoxetine group...However, the current study is still preliminary and the pathogenesis of PMDD is complex. Therefore, more in-depth exploration is needed.
From the beginning of the third week, rats were treated either with saline daily or with etanercept twice a week (0.3 mg/kg, i.p.) or with fluoxetine daily (10 mg/kg, i.p) as a reference. This could be attributed to abrogation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT-3) pathways in the PFC. The findings of the present study contribute to the understanding of the potential of etanercept as an antidepressant and provide insights into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects.

These findings provide a foundation for the potential clinical application of CNS drugs in GBM treatment. Additionally, this work offers critical insights into the mechanisms and determinants of cytotoxicity for drugs currently undergoing clinical trials as repurposing agents for various cancers, including Fluoxetine, Sertraline, Thioridazine, Chlorpromazine, and Fluphenazine.
Altogether, our study represents the first report on the potential antineuroinflammatory and antidepressant properties of OC via modulation of BDNF/TrkB neurotrophic activity. This finding underscores the potential of OC as a natural therapeutic agent for depression- and anxiety-related disorders.
Mice were divided into a control group, vehicle group, fluoxetine group, celecoxib group, and auraptene group. The results showed that auraptene reduced the excessive phagocytosis and ROS production of LPS-induced BV2 cells. In conclusion, auraptene relieved depressive-like behaviors in mice probably via modulating hippocampal neuroinflammation mediated by microglia.
We bring the first evidence of a sequential onset of behavioral changes in T. cruzi-infected mice. Fx therapy improves behavioral and biological changes and parasite control in the brain tissue. Moreover, in the central nervous system, cytokine-driven Ser/5-HT consumption may favor parasite persistence, disrupting neurotransmitter balance and promoting a neurotoxic environment likely contributing to behavioral and cognitive disorders.

Randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings and establish the efficacy of the medications in ototoxicity prevention. Further research is also warranted to investigate the potential mechanisms underlying this protective effect.
Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of the treatment with fluoxetine and/or galantamine and/or donepezil on the levels of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in a mixed animal model of depression and dementia. In addition, fluoxetine + donepezil reversed the reduction of IL-10 levels in the hippocampus. The results indicate a pathophysiological interaction between AD and depression, and the association of medications in the future may be a possible therapeutic strategy to reduce inflammation, especially the fluoxetine-associated treatments.
Therefore, in the current communication, an in-silico drug repurposing approach has been employed to target the function of PTP4A3/PRL-3 protein in HCC using antidepressants: Fluoxetine hydrochloride, Citalopram, Amitriptyline, Imipramine, and Escitalopram oxalate as the desired ligands...Escitalopram oxalate exhibited a comparatively significant docking score (-7.4 kcal/mol) compared to the control JMS-053 (-6.8 kcal/mol) against the PRL-3 protein...The docked complexes were subjected to MD studies (100 ns) showing stable interactions. Considering all the findings, it can be concluded that Escitalopram oxalate and related therapeutics can act as potential pharmacological candidates for targeting the activity of PTP4A3/PRL-3 in HCC.
