CAS 163521-12-8: Vilazodone
Description:Vilazodone is a pharmaceutical compound primarily used as an antidepressant, classified as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and a partial agonist at the serotonin receptor 5-HT1A. Its chemical formula is C26H28N4O2S, and it features a complex structure that includes a benzodioxole moiety and a thiophene ring. Vilazodone is known for its dual mechanism of action, which not only increases serotonin levels in the brain by inhibiting its reuptake but also enhances serotonergic neurotransmission through its partial agonist activity. This unique profile may contribute to its efficacy in treating major depressive disorder while potentially offering a favorable side effect profile compared to traditional SSRIs. The substance is typically administered orally and is metabolized primarily in the liver, with a half-life that supports once-daily dosing. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction, similar to other antidepressants. Overall, vilazodone represents a significant advancement in the pharmacological management of depression.
