2-[3-[4-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]propyl]-5-ethyl-4-(2-phenoxyethyl)-1,2,4-triazol-3-one
Nefazodone is an antidepressant from the SARI class that acts by inhibiting serotonin reuptake and has antagonistic effects at 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors. It is used to treat depression and additionally possesses anxiolytic and sedative properties. Due to potential side effects, particularly liver damage, careful medical monitoring is required.

Receptor Profile
Der 5-HT2A-Rezeptor ist ein Serotonin-Rezeptor der Klasse Gq-gekoppelter GPCRs. Er ist der primäre molekulare Angriffspunkt klassischer Psychedelika und spielt eine Rolle bei Kognition und Wahrnehmung.
Der Serotonintransporter (SERT/5-HTT) ist ein Natrium-abhängiger Monoamintransporter, der Serotonin aus dem synaptischen Spalt zurück in die präsynaptische Zelle transportiert. Er ist das primäre Ziel von SSRI und MDMA.
Der 5-HT2C-Rezeptor ist ein Gq/11-gekoppelter Serotoninrezeptor, der an der Regulation von Appetit, Stimmung und Angst beteiligt ist. Er wird von verschiedenen Psychedelika als sekundäres Ziel aktiviert und moduliert dopaminerge Signalwege.
