Bioactivity | Nefazodone hydrochloride (BMY-13754) is a potent and selective 5HT2A (Ki=5.8 nM) antagonist with moderate inhibition of 5-HT and noradrenaline uptake (IC50 of 290 and 300 nM, respectively). Nefazodone hydrochloride is a phenylpiperazine antidepressant with less alpha-adrenergic blocking activity[1][2]. |
Invitro | Nefazodone hydrochloride (BMY-13754) is a phenylpiperazine antidepressant with a mechanism of action that is distinct from those of other currently available drugs. Nefazodone hydrochloride potently and selectively blocks postsynaptic serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) 5-HT2A receptors and moderately inhibits serotonin and noradrenaline (norepinephrine) reuptake. Nefazodone hydrochloride is also an inhibitor of the hepatic P-450 isoenzyme CYP3A4[2]. |
