Use | Vilazodone is an inhibitor of ST (serotonin transporter and uptake) (IC50=0.5 nM) and SR-1A activator (partial agonist) (IC50=0.2 nM; IA = ~60-70%). |
In vitro study | Vilazodone shows an IC 50 of 0.2 nM at the human 5-HT 1 A receptor and 0.5 nM for the SERT. Vilazodone preferentially binds to the high agonist affinity state of human 5-HT 1 Areceptors, and it displays high affinity (pK i ≥9.3) for human recombinant and rat, guinea pig, mouse, and marmoset native tissue 5-HT 1A receptors.Vilazodone acts as a high efficacy partial agonist at 5-HT 1 Areceptors. In [ 35 S]GTPγS binding studies in Sf9 cells expressing h5-HT 1 Areceptors, a single concentration of Vilazodone (100nM) increases basal binding by approximately 70% of that produced by the full 5-HT 1 Areceptor agonist, 8‐OH‐PIPAT.
In [ 35 S]GTPγS binding studies in rat hippocampal membranes, Vilazodone acts as a potent 5‐HT 1A receptor partial agonist with a pEC 50 of 8.1 and an intrinsic activity of 0.61.
Vilazodone acts as a potent 5‐HT reuptake inhibitor in rat and guinea pig cortex. In LLCPK cells expressing human SERT, whereby vilazodone inhibits [ 3 H]5‐HT uptake with a pIC 50 of 8.8. |
In vivo study | Vilazodone (intraperitoneal injection; 3 mg/kg ; single dose) produces increases in extracellular levels of 5‐HT in both the frontal cortex (FC) and ventral hippocampus (vHipp) of rats in vivomicrodialysis studies. Maximum increases are observed at 3 mg/kg and reaches 527% and 558% of preinjection baseline values in the FC and vHipp, respectively.
Vilazodone (oral gavage ;55 mg/kg ; single dose) inhibits stress‐induced vocalizations in the rat ultrasonic vocalizations test at 120 and 210 min post dose. |
