Abstract:Considering their shared mechanism of action, there is surprising diversity in the clinical outcomes of SERT inhibitors. Such behavior may arise from the binding modes of those inhibitors with SERT. We report here on the thermodynamics of ligand‐SERT interactions determined from equilibrium and kinetic binding analyses. All drugs excepting fluvoxamine displayed remarkably similar binding thermodynamics with relatively equal contributions of entropy and enthalpy to free energy of binding. Binding enthalpies cor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
