Investigation of Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Interactions between Citalopram and Duloxetine: An Integrated Analytical, Computational, Behavioral, and Biochemical Approach.

ABSTRACT: Despite the prevalent utilization of antidepressant combinations in clinical settings, concerns persist regarding heightened side effects and potential drug-drug interactions (DDI). In response, this study investigates the interaction between citalopram (CIT) and duloxetine (DUL) using a multifaceted approach encompassing analytical, computational, behavioral, and biochemical techniques. Notably, the absence of published analytical methods tailored for studying antidepressant interactions underscores the novelty of our endeavor. We present the development and validation of a robust and sensitive assay, coupling liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. This method facilitates the simultaneous determination of DUL, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), and CIT, a selec
