Description
Paroxetine belongs to the phenylpiperidines, a subclass of piperidines within the organic compounds. This exogenous compound has the formula C19H20FNO3 and an average molecular weight of 329.37 g/mol. At room temperature, it exists as a solid. It is classified within the superclass of organoheterocyclic compounds. Paroxetine is used as an antidepressant and anxiolytic drug. Biologically, it functions as a serotonin uptake inhibitor and a P450 inhibitor, and it is identified as a hepatotoxic agent. Its protein targets include the sodium-dependent serotonin transporter (SLC6A4), the sodium-dependent noradrenaline transporter (SLC6A2), and the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A (HTR2A). As a potent and highly selective inhibitor of neuronal serotonin reuptake, paroxetine likely inhibits serotonin reuptake at the neuronal membrane, which enhances serotonergic neurotransmission by reducing neurotransmitter turnover. This process prolongs serotonin activity at synaptic receptor sites and potentiates 5-HT in the CNS; paroxetine is more potent than fluoxetine and sertraline in its ability to inhibit 5-HT reuptake. Additionally, it is a binder, inhibitor, or other unknown modulator of Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors M1 (CHRM1), M2 (CHRM2), M3 (CHRM3), and M4 (CHRM4), among 21 other proteins. The compound is recorded in 12 sources, including antidepressants in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products; drinking water; food processing for fish and hops; household cleaning and consumer products such as non-electric simulated smoking devices and other smoking requisites; and electrical and electronic equipment, including discharge lamps, electric hearing aids, electric switches, electrically stimulated smoking devices, and radio transmission systems. The recorded exposure route for paroxetine is oral.

Mechanism of ToxicityParoxetine is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of neuronal serotonin reuptake. Paroxetine likely inhibits the reuptake of serotonin at the neuronal membrane, enhances serotonergic neurotransmission by reducing turnover of the neurotransmitter, therefore it prolongs its activity at synaptic receptor sites and potentiates 5-HT in the CNS; paroxetine is more potent than both sertraline and fluoxetine in its ability to inhibit 5-HT reuptake. Compared to the tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs have dramatically decreased binding to histamine, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine receptors. The mechanism of action for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms is unknown.
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
SymptomsComa, dizziness, drowsiness, facial flushing, nausea, sweating, tremor, vomiting
TreatmentTreatment should consist of those general measures employed in the management of overdosage with any drugs effective in the treatment of major depressive disorder. Ensure an adequate airway, oxygenation, and ventilation. Monitor cardiac rhythm and vital signs. General supportive and symptomatic measures are also recommended. Induction of emesis is not recommended. Gastric lavage with a large-bore orogastric tube with appropriate airway protection, if needed, may be indicated if performed soon after ingestion, or in symptomatic patients. Activated charcoal should be administered. Due to the large volume of distribution of this drug, forced diuresis, dialysis, hemoperfusion, and exchange transfusion are unlikely to be of benefit. No specific antidotes for paroxetine are known. (8)

Sodium-dependent serotonin transporter structureClick to view 3D structureSodium-dependent serotonin transporterP31645HumansKnownParoxetine is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of neuronal serotonin reuptake. Paroxetine likely inhibits the reuptake of serotonin at the neuronal membrane, enhances serotonergic neurotransmission by reducing turnover of the neurotransmitter, therefore it prolongs its activity at synaptic receptor sites and potentiates 5-HT in the CNS; paroxetine is more potent than both sertraline and fluoxetine in its ability to inhibit 5-HT reuptake. Compared to the tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs have dramatically decreased binding to histamine, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine receptors.
