This study examines the effect of the antidepressants fluoxetine, sertraline and amitriptyline on cholinesterase (acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE)) activities in human serum and erythrocyte membrane (ghost). The concentrations used range from 3 to 60 muM for fluoxetine and amitriptyline and 0.3 to 12 muM for sertraline. At the micromolar range concentration, different classes of antidepressants, including fluoxetine and sertraline (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)) and amitriptyline (tricyclic antidepressant) inhibited human serum cholinesterase. The order of inhibitory potency was sertraline>amitriptylinemuch greater thanfluoxetine and the IC50 values were 4.05, 9,43 and 62 muM, respectively. Analysis of kinetic data indicated that the inhibition caused by all the antidepressants was mixed in nature. At the micromolar range concentration, sertraline (60-120 muM) and amitriptyline (60 180 muM) inhibited human erythrocyte AChE, The order of inhibitory potency was sertraline>amitriptyline and the IC50 values were 80 and 134 muM, respectively. Analysis of kinetic data indicated that the inhibition caused by all the antidepressants in AChE human erythrocyte membrane (ghost) was mixed in nature. The interaction of sertraline with the cholinesterase is labile since the removal of inhibitor by gel filtration recovered completely the enzyme activity. Our results demonstrate that the usual clinical antidepressants are inhibitors of the cholinesterases on human serum and erythrocyte membrane. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
