Nefazodone hydrochloride tablets are indicated for the treatment of depression. When deciding among the alternative treatments available for this condition, the prescriber should consider the risk of hepatic failure associated with nefazodone hydrochloride treatment. In many cases, this would lead to the conclusion that other drugs should be tried first. /Included in US product label/

/BOXED WARNING/ Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies of major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of nefazodone hydrochloride tablets or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. Nefazodone hydrochloride tablets are not approved for use in pediatric patients.

/BOXED WARNING/ Cases of life-threatening hepatic failure have been reported in patients treated with nefazodone hydrochloride tablets. The reported rate in the United States is about 1 case of liver failure resulting in death or transplant per 250,000 to 300,000 patient-years of nefazodone hydrochloride treatment. The total patient-years is a summation of each patient's duration of exposure expressed in years. For example, 1 patient-year is equal to 2 patients each treated for 6 months, 3 patients each treated for 4 months, etc. Ordinarily, treatment with nefazodone hydrochloride tablets should not be initiated in individuals with active liver disease or with elevated baseline serum transaminases. There is no evidence that pre-existing liver disease increases the likelihood of developing liver failure, however, baseline abnormalities can complicate patient monitoring. Patients should be advised to be alert for signs and symptoms of liver dysfunction (jaundice, anorexia, gastrointestinal complaints, malaise, etc.) and to report them to their doctor immediately if they occur. Nefazodone hydrochloride tablets should be discontinued if clinical signs or symptoms suggest liver failure. Patients who develop evidence of hepatocellular injury such as increased serum AST or serum ALT levels >/= 3 times the upper limit of NORMAL, while on nefazodone hydrochloride tablets should be withdrawn from the drug. These patients should be presumed to be at increased risk for liver injury if nefazodone hydrochloride is reintroduced. Accordingly, such patients should not be considered for re-treatment.

For the treatment of depression.
FDA Label
Nefazodone, an antidepressant synthetically derived phenylpiperazine, is used to treat major depression. Although it is structurally similar to trazodone, nefazodone has a mechanism of action different from other antidepressants and, hence, lacks the risk for major cardiovascular toxicity seen with tricyclics and insomnia and inhibition of REM sleep seen with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
Serotonin 5-HT2 Receptor Antagonists
Drugs that bind to but do not activate SEROTONIN 5-HT2 RECEPTORS, thereby blocking the actions of SEROTONIN or SEROTONIN 5-HT2 RECEPTOR AGONISTS. Included under this heading are antagonists for one or more specific 5-HT2 receptor subtypes. (See all compounds classified as Serotonin 5-HT2 Receptor Antagonists.)
Serotonin and Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitors
Drugs that selectively block or suppress the plasma membrane transport of SEROTONIN and NORADRENALINE into axon terminals and are used as ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS. (See all compounds classified as Serotonin and Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitors.)
Antidepressive Agents, Second-Generation
A structurally and mechanistically diverse group of drugs that are not tricyclics or monoamine oxidase inhibitors. The most clinically important appear to act selectively on serotonergic systems, especially by inhibiting serotonin reuptake. (See all compounds classified as Antidepressive Agents, Second-Generation.)

/MILK/ The purpose of this study was/ to investigate whether adverse effects in a premature neonate could be attributed to nefazodone exposure via breast milk. The breast-fed white infant (female, 2.1 kg, 36 weeks corrected gestational age) of a 35-year-old woman (60 kg) taking nefazodone 300 mg/day was admitted to the hospital because she was drowsy, lethargic, unable to maintain normal body temperature, and was feeding poorly. A diagnosis of exposure to nefazodone via breast milk was considered only after other more likely diagnoses had been excluded. ... The maternal plasma and milk concentration-time profiles for nefazodone and its metabolites, triazoledione, HO-nefazodone, and m-chlorphenylpiperazine, were quantified by HPLC. The calculated infant dose for nefazodone and its active metabolites (as nefazodone equivalents) via the milk was only 0.45% of the weight-adjusted maternal nefazodone daily dose. ...

The utility of multivariate analysis in in vitro metabolite identification studies was examined with nefazodone, an antidepressant drug with a well-established metabolic profile. The chromatographic conditions were purposefully chosen to reflect those utilized in high-throughput screening for microsomal stability of new chemical entities. Molecular ion, retention time information on groups of human liver microsomal samples with/without nefazodone was evaluated by principal component analysis (PCA). Resultant scores and loadings plots from the PCA revealed the segregation and the ions of interest that designated the drug and its corresponding metabolites. Subsequent acquisition of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) spectra for targeted ions permitted the interrogation and interpretation of spectra to identify nefazodone and its metabolites. A comparison of nefazodone metabolites identified by PCA versus those found by traditional metabolite identification approaches resulted in very good correlation when utilizing similar analytical methods. Fifteen metabolites of nefazodone were identified in beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-supplemented human liver microsomal incubations, representing nearly all primary metabolites previously reported. Of the 15 metabolites, eight were derived from the N-dealkylation and N-dephenylation of the N-substituted 3-chlorophenylpiperazine motif in nefazodone, six were derived from mono- and bis-hydroxylation, and one was derived from the Baeyer Villiger oxidation of the ethyltriazolone moiety in nefazodone.

This paper describes the complete profiling and characterization of in vitro metabolites of the antidepressant agent nefazodone (NEF) generated by human liver microsome (HLM). Two new metabolic pathways (biotransformation) for NEF have been discovered by the characterization of three new metabolites, including two new metabolites (M24, M25) formed due to the N-dealkylation reaction that occurred between the triazolone and propyl units, and one new metabolite (M26) formed due to the O-dearylation reaction that occurred on the phenoxyethyl unit. These metabolites were initially detected by a 4000 Q-Trap instrument and then confirmed by exact mass measurement using an LTQ-Orbitrap. Both instruments proved to be capable of providing complete in vitro metabolite information in a single liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis, although each had its advantages and disadvantages. One noticeable disadvantage of the 4000 Q-Trap was the reduced quality of isotopic pattern in the enhanced mass scan (EMS) spectrum when it was used as survey scan to trigger multiple dependent product ion scans. The problem was especially exacerbated for minor metabolites with low signal intensity. On the other hand, the LTQ-Orbitrap maintained excellent isotopic pattern when used as a full scan survey scan. Twenty-six metabolites were detected and identified. The formation of these new metabolites was also confirmed by analyzing duplicate incubations at different time points.

... In a 4-way crossover design, 16 subjects received clinically relevant doses of venlafaxine, nefazodone, or sertraline for 8 days or fluoxetine for 11 days. Treatments were separated by a 7- to 14-day washout period and fluoxetine was always the last antidepressant taken. ... Nefazodone was also the only antidepressant that caused a significant change in alprazolam (ALPZ) disposition, decreasing its area under the concentration-versus-time curve (AUC; P < 0.01), and increasing its elimination half-life (16.4 vs. 12.3 hours; P < 0.05) compared with values at baseline. ...

Within the serotonergic system, nefazodone acts as an antagonist at type 2 serotonin (5-HT2) post-synaptic receptors and, like fluoxetine-type antidepressants, inhibits pre-synaptic serotonin (5-HT) reuptake. These mechanisms increase the amount of serotonin available to interact with 5-HT receptors. Within the noradrenergic system, nefazodone inhibits norepinephrine uptake minimally. Nefazodone also antagonizes alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors, producing sedation, muscle relaxation, and a variety of cardiovascular effects. Nefazodone's affinity for benzodiazepine, cholinergic, dopaminergic, histaminic, and beta or alpha(2)-adrenergic receptors is not significant.
