A potent 5-HT2A receptor antagonist (Kd = 26nM), with moderate affinity for the alpha1-adrenergic receptor (Kd = 48nM) and 5-HT1A receptor (Kd = 80nM). 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 dysfunction.
