The effects of chronic administration of the mixed serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)]/norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitor venlafaxine (5 mg/kg daily by osmotic minipump for 28 days) on the sensitivity of somatodendritic 5-HT(1A) autoreceptors on serotonergic neurons innervating the hypothalamus, and on 5-HT(1B) autoreceptors in both hypothalamus and hippocampus, were determined using in vivo microdialysis in freely moving rats. Venlafaxine induced a reduction in sensitivity of 5-HT(1B) autoreceptors in hypothalamus, but did not affect the sensitivity of 5-HT(1A) autoreceptors, or of 5-HT(1B) autoreceptors in hippocampus. The corticosterone and oxytocin responses to the 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT, 0.05 or 0.2 mg/kg), a measure of postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptor activity in the hypothalamus, were reduced in animals administered 5 or 10 mg/kg venlafaxine daily by intraperitoneal injection for 21 days. This desensitization of post-synaptic 5- HT(1A) receptors in the hypothalamus may be a consequence of increased 5-HT levels induced by desensitization of the presynaptic 5-HT(1B) receptors. These results taken together with those of previous studies suggest that the hypothalamus might be an important site of drug action, and that venlafaxine has an overall mechanism similar to that of selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors.

AIMS: To characterize milk/plasma (M/P) ratio and infant dose, for venlafaxine (V) and its O-desmethyl metabolite (ODV), in breastfeeding women taking venlafaxine for the treatment of depression, and to determine the plasma concentration and effects of these drugs in their infants. METHODS: Six women (mean age 34.5 years, mean weight 84.3 kg) taking venlafaxine (median dose 244 mg day(-1), range 225-300 mg day(-1)) and their seven infants (mean age 7.0 months, mean weight 7.3 kg) were studied. V and ODV in plasma and milk were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography over a 12 h dose interval at steady-state. Infant exposure was estimated as the product of estimated milk production rate (0.15 l kg(-1)day(-1)) and average drug concentration in milk, normalized to body weight and expressed as a percentage of the weight-adjusted maternal dose. RESULTS: Mean M/PAUC values of 2.5 (range 2.0-3.2) and 2.7 (range 2.3-3.2) were calculated for V and ODV, respectively. The mean maximum concentrations (95% CI) of V and ODV in milk were 1161 (95% CI, 588, 1734) microg l(-1) and 796 (362, 1230) microg l(-1). Mean infant exposure was 3.2% (1.7, 4.7%) for V and 3.2% (1.9, 4.9%) for ODV (as V equivalents). V was detected in the plasma of one out of seven infants studied (5 microg l(-1)), while ODV was detected in four of the infants, at concentrations ranging from 3 to 38 microg l(-1). All of the infants in the study were healthy, as reported by their mothers and/or by clinical examination on the study day. CONCLUSIONS: The concentrations of V and ODV in breast milk were 2.5 and 2.7 times those in maternal plasma. The mean total drug exposure (as venlafaxine equivalents) of the breastfed infants was 6.4% (5.5-7.3%), which is below the 10% notional level of concern. There were no adverse effects in any of the infants. The data support the use of V in breastfeeding. Nevertheless, since low concentrations of ODV were detected in the plasma of four out of the seven infants studied, we recommend breastfed infants should be monitored closely. Each decision to breast feed should be made as an individual risk:benefit analysis.

This study characterized the influence of acute administration of diverse classes of antidepressant agent upon the spontaneous locomotor activity (LA) of mice in a novel, open-field environment. The selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), citalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, litoxetine and zimelidine, dose-dependently enhanced LA. Their actions were mimicked by the mixed 5-HT/noradrenaline (NA) reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), venlafaxine, duloxetine and S33005. In contrast, clomipramine only slightly elevated LA and two further tricyclics, imipramine and amitriptyline, were inactive. Further, the selective NA vs. 5-HT reuptake inhibitors (NARIs), reboxetine, desipramine, maprotiline, nisoxetine and nortriptyline all failed to increase LA. The "atypical antidepressants," mianserin and mirtazapine, neither of which modify 5-HT reuptake, as well as the mixed SSRI/5-HT(2) antagonists, nefazodone and trazodone, also failed to increase LA. Doses of SSRI and SNRI which increased LA did not modify motor performance in the rotarod test. Further, they did not enhance LA in rats, suggesting that this response is characteristic of mice. Finally, upon prehabituation of mice to the activity chamber, the SSRI, citalopram, and the SNRI, venlafaxine, failed to increase LA. In conclusion, in mice exposed to a novel environment, inhibition of 5-HT reuptake by SSRIs and SNRIs enhances spontaneous LA in the absence of a generalized influence upon motor function. This response provides a simple parameter for characterization of SSRIs and SNRIs, and differentiates them from other classes of antidepressant agent. Although an influence upon arousal and/or anxiety is likely related to the increase in LA, the functional significance of this response requires additional elucidation.
