1-[2-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)sulfanylphenyl]piperazine
Vortioxetine is a multimodal serotonin modulator used as an antidepressant. It acts by inhibiting serotonin reuptake and modulating various serotonin receptors, which can lead to improvements in mood and cognitive functions. The substance is primarily used for major depression and is characterized by a favorable side effect profile. However, interactions and side effects are possible, which is why medical supervision is recommended.

Receptor Profile
Der 5-HT1A-Rezeptor ist ein Gi/Go-gekoppelter Serotoninrezeptor, der als Autorezeptor auf serotonergen Neuronen und als Heterorezeptor in verschiedenen Hirnregionen vorkommt. Er moduliert Angst, Stimmung und Kognition.
Der 5-HT7-Rezeptor ist ein Gs-gekoppelter Serotoninrezeptor, der an der Regulation von zirkadianer Rhythmik, Thermoregulation und Kognition beteiligt ist. Er wird als mögliches therapeutisches Ziel bei Depression und Schlafstörungen erforscht.
