ACTION
The mechanism of action of sertraline is presumed to be linked to its
ability to inhibit the
neuronal reuptake of serotonin. It has only very weak effects on
norepinephrine and dopamine
neuronal reuptake. At clinical doses, sertraline blocks the uptake of
serotonin into human
platelets.
Like most clinically effective antidepressants, sertraline
downregulates brain norepinephrine and
serotonin receptors in animals. In receptor binding studies,
sertraline has no significant affinity
for adrenergic (alpha1, alpha2 & beta), cholinergic, GABA,
dopaminergic, histaminergic,
serotonergic (5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT2) or benzodiazepine binding sites.
In placebo-controlled studies in normal volunteers, sertraline did not
cause sedation and did not
interfere with psychomotor performance.
Pharmacokinetics: Following multiple oral once-daily doses of 200 mg,
the mean peak plasma
concentration (Cmax) of sertraline is 0.19 µg/mL occurring between 6
to 8 hours post-dose. The
area under the plasma concentration time curve is 2.8 mg hr/l. For
desmethylsertraline, Cmax is
0.14 µg/mL, the half-life 65 hours and the area under the curve 2.3
mg hr/l. Following single or
multiple oral once-daily doses of 50 to 400 mg/day the average
terminal elimination half-life is
approximately 26 hours. Linear dose proportionality has been
demonstrated over the clinical dose
range of 50
