Description

Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) with Ki of 0.89 nM.Target: SSRIsEscitalopram, the S-enantiomer of citalopram, belongs to a class of antidepressant agents known as selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Escitalopram may be used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Escitalopram has no significant affinity for adrenergic (alpha1, alpha2, beta), cholinergic, GABA, dopaminergic, histaminergic, serotonergic (


Escitalopram Oxalate is the oxalate salt of escitalopram, a pure S-enantiomer of the racemic bicyclic phthalane derivative citalopram, with antidepressant activity. As a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), escitalopram blocks the reuptake of serotonin by neurons in the central nervous system (CNS), thereby potentiating CNS serotonergic activity.|A furancarbonitrile that is one of the serotonin uptake inhibitors used as an antidepressant. The drug is also effective in reducing ethanol uptake in alcoholics and is used in depressed patients who also suffer from TARDIVE DYSKINESIA in preference to tricyclic antidepressants, which aggravate dyskinesia.

Drug Information

A structurally and mechanistically diverse group of drugs that are not tricyclics or monoamine oxidase inhibitors. The most clinically important appear to act selectively on serotonergic systems, especially by inhibiting serotonin reuptake. (See all compounds classified as Antidepressive Agents, Second-Generation.)|Compounds that specifically inhibit the reuptake of serotonin in the brain.

Drug Function and Efficacy

Escitalopram is the mono-S-enantiomer of the dicyclic hydrogenated phthalide derivative citalopram. Its antidepressant effect may be related to inhibiting the reuptake of 5-HT by central nervous system neurons, thereby enhancing the function of central serotonergic nerves. It is a highly selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) with little effect on the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine. Escitalopram has no affinity or only low affinity for multiple receptors, and has no affinity or only low affinity for Na, K, Cl-, and Ca2 channels.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
