fluvoxamine
PubChem CID 5324346Molecular formula: C15H21F3N2O2
The exact mechanism of action of fluvoxamine has not been fully determined, but appears to be linked to its inhibition of CNS neuronal uptake of serotonin. Fluvoxamine blocks the reuptake of serotonin at the serotonin reuptake pump of the neuronal membrane, enhancing the actions of serotonin on 5HT<sub>1A</sub> autoreceptors. Studies have also demonstrated that fluvoxamine has virtually no affinity for α<sub>1</sub>- or α<sub>2</sub>-adrenergic, β-adrenergic, muscarinic, dopamine D<sub>2</sub>, histamine H<sub>1</sub>, GABA-benzodiazepine, opiate, 5-HT<sub>1</sub>, or 5-HT<sub>2</sub> receptors, despite having an affinity for binding to σ1 receptors.
