Trazodone is an effective antidepressant drug with a broad therapeutic spectrum, including anxiolytic efficacy. Although trazodone is usually referred to as a serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor, this pharmacological effect appears to be too weak to fully account for its clinical effectiveness. The present study aimed to elucidate the agonist properties of trazodone and its active metabolite, m-chlorophenylpiperazine (m-CPP), at 5-HT1A receptors by means of the guanosine-5′-O-(3-[35S]thio…

The enhanced 5-HT neurotransmission by trazodone is caused in part by reuptake blockade and activation of postsynaptic 5- HT1A receptors, which may account for its effectiveness in major depression.

Trazodone, at concentrations relevant to its clinical effects, exerts weak partial agonism at 5-HT1AARs and disfacilitation of firing through α1-adrenoceptor antagonism, which converge in inhibiting dorsal raphe serotonergic neuron activity.

This study indicates that low doses of trazodone should suffice to block specific receptors responsible for the hypnotic effect, and to provide the protective effect against neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration that could be beneficial in dementia.

It is demonstrated that these piperazine based drugs act in both brain homogenate preparations and in intact neurons in a similar manner, and the biochemical models described here may aid in the development of even more active drugs in this class.

The preclinical and clinical data suggest that trazodone acts as an antidepressant via antagonist action at 5-HT2/1C receptors, while fluoxetine likely acts as a antidepressant via inhibition of 5- HT uptake.
