Description

General description

A potent 5-HT_2A receptor antagonist (K_d = 26 nM), with moderate affinity for the alpha1-adrenergic receptor (K_d = 48 nM) and 5-HT_1A receptor (K_d = 80 nM). Originally developed as a clinical antidepressant but discontinued in 2004, nefazodone (Serzone) still remains a specific inhibitor of certain serotonergic pathways. Nefazodone also has been reported to induce mitochondrial dysfuntion.
