Vilazodone HCl (SB659746A; SB659746-A; EMD-68843; EMD68843; Viibryd), the hydrochloride salt of Vilazodone, is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and a partial agonist of 5-HT1A receptors with anti-depressive effects. Vilazodone was given FDA approval in 2011 to treat major depressive disorders. Vilazodone's half-life at the human 5-HT1A receptor is 0.2 nM, while its half-life for the SERT is 0.5 nM. Vilazodone binds to native tissue 5-HT1A receptors in rats, mice, marmosets, and guinea pigs with high affinity (pKi ≥ 9.3), as well as human recombinant receptors.

The receptor binding profile of vilazodone was reported by Heinrich et al. Here vilazodone demonstrated an IC50 of 0.2 nM at the human 5‐HT1A receptor and 0.5 nM for the SERT. Its closest cross affinity in these studies was to the dopamine D3 receptor (IC50 of 71 nM) followed by the 5‐HT4 receptor (IC50 of 252 nM). Our own in house radioligand binding studies using the 5‐HT1A receptor agonist [3H]8‐OH‐DPAT have demonstrated that vilazodone displayed high affinity (pKi≥ 9.3) for human recombinant and rat, guinea pig, mouse, and marmoset native tissue 5‐HT1A receptors (unpublished data in Table 1). In contrast, vilazodone displaced the antagonist radioligand, [3H]WAY100635, binding (in the presence of Gpp(NH)p) with pKi values up to 2 log units lower than those obtained using [3H]8‐OH‐DPAT (Table 2). These data suggest that vilazodone preferentially binds to the high agonist affinity state of human 5‐HT1A receptors, indicative of this molecule's partial agonist activity. It has been reported that the difference in affinity of a compound for 5‐HT1A receptors, as measured using [3H]8‐OH‐DPAT versus [3H]WAY100635, is directly proportional to its intrinsic agonist activity. Thus, given that the difference in affinity, as measured against [3H]8‐OH‐DPAT cf. [3H]WAY100635, was similar to that observed with the endogenous agonist 5‐HT, these data suggest that vilazodone would act as a high efficacy partial agonist at 5‐HT1A receptors. This hypothesis was supported in [35S]GTPγS binding studies in Sf9 cells expressing h5‐HT1A receptors, whereby a single concentration of vilazodone (100nM) increased basal binding by approximately 70% of that produced by the full 5‐HT1A receptor agonist, 8‐OH‐PIPAT. However, given that only single concentrations were used in this study, accurate determination of intrinsic activity or functional potency at h5‐HT1A receptors could not be achieved. More extensive studies in HEK cells expressing h5‐HT1A receptors have since been performed (unpublished data). In these studies, vilazodone acted as a full agonist, as compared to 5‐HT, with a pEC50 of 9.0.[1]

Cell Assay |
Administration of 5-HT1A receptor agonists results in a distinct behavioral syndrome that includes head weaving, tremors, forepaw treading, posture abnormalities, hind limb reduction, and straub tail. At 120 and 210 minutes after dosing, Vilazodone (55 mg/kg po) inhibits stress-induced vocalizations in the rat ultrasonic vocalization exercise. Vilazodone (20–40 mg/kg ip) inhibited stress-induced potentiated startle but had no effect on stress-potentiated anxiety response in the elevated plus maze when given acutely or preventatively one week before behavioral testing. The startle response is interestingly affected in the opposite way by a lower dose of 10 mg/kg of vilazodone, suggesting a bidirectional effect that is not fully understood. Additionally, all doses of the drug increase the startle-induced stress response, which may be indicative of an anxiogenic-like reaction. Vilazodone is an additional treatment option for Major Depressive Disorder.

ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption
Vilazodone's bioavailability is 72% when taken with food. Route of Elimination 1% of the dose is recovered unchanged in the urine and 2% of the dose is recovered unchanged in the feces. Volume of Distribution Vilazodone's volume of distribution is unknown but large Clearance Clearance of vilazodone is 19.9-25.1L/h in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment compared to 26.4-26.9L/h in healthy controls. Vilazodone concentrations peak at a median of 4-5 hours (Tmax) after administration and decline with a terminal half-life of approximately 25 hours. The absolute bioavailability of vilazodone is 72% with food. Administration of VIIBRYD with food (high fat or light meal) increases oral bioavailability (Cmax increased by approximately 147-160%, and AUC increased by approximately 64-85%). View More
Metabolism / Metabolites Vilazodone is mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450(CYP)3A4 and also to a minor extent by CYP2C19 and CYP 2D6. Although the metabolic pathway for vilazodone has not been fully studied, a proposed mechanism for metabolism in rats was published in 2017. Viibryd is extensively metabolized through CYP and non-CYP pathways (possibly by carboxylesterase), with only 1% of the dose recovered in the urine and 2% of the dose recovered in the feces as unchanged vilazodone. CYP3A4 is primarily responsible for its metabolism among CYP pathways, with minor contributions from CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. In vitro studies with human microsomes and human hepatocytes indicate that vilazodone is unlikely to inhibit or induce the metabolism of other CYP (except for CYP2C8) substrates; and an in vivo study with probe substrates for CYP2C19, 2D6 and 3A4 showed vilazodone did not alter the pharmacokinetics of the probe substrates. However, an in vivo study with probe substrate for CYP2C19 demonstrated a minor induction of CYP2C19. Strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., ketoconazole) can reduce the metabolism of vilazodone in vivo and increase exposure. Conversely, strong inducers of CYP3A4 (e.g., carbamazepine) can decrease vilazodone exposure. NIH; DailyMed. Current Medication Information for Viibryd (Vilazodone Hydrochloride) Tablet Viibryd (Vilazodone Hydrochloride) Kit (Revised: July 2014). Available from, as of July 30, 2014: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=4c55ccfb-c4cf-11df-851a-0800200c9a66 Biological Half-Life 25 hours. Other studies show a half life of 24±5.2h with a single 40mg dose and 28.9±3.2h with repeated doses. Vilazodone /has/ a terminal half-life of approximately 25 hours. Vilazodone’s pharmacokinetic activity (5–80 mg) is dose-proportional. The terminal half-life is approximately 25 hours. When vilazodone is taken with food, the drug’s absolute bioavailability is 72%. After daily dosing of vilazodone 40 mg under fed conditions, the mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) at steady state was 156 ng/mL, and the mean area-under-the-curve (AUC0–24 hr) concentration was 1,645 ng • hours/mL. When vilazodone was administered with a high-fat or light meal, the Cmax was increased by approximately 147% to 160%, and the AUC concentration was increased by approximately 64% to 85%. If vomiting occurs within 7 hours after administration, the drug’s absorption is decreased by about 25%; however, a replacement dose is not required. Vilazodone has a large volume of distribution (value unknown). It is approximately 96% to 99% protein-bound The drug is extensively metabolized in the liver, primarily via the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 isoenzyme. CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 are minor metabolic pathways. Non-CYP450 metabolism also occurs, possibly by carboxylesterase. Only 1% and 2% of the dose are recovered in urine and feces, respectively, as unchanged vilazodone. The presence of mild or moderate renal and hepatic impairment does not affect the clearance of vilazodone. |

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity Summary
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Vilazodone is a white to off-white solid that is formulated into film-coated tablets. Vilazodone is a combined selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor and serotonin type 1-A (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT1A) receptor partial agonist. It is used for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adults. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: In clinical trials toxic effects of vilazodone at 200-280 mg included serotonin syndrome, lethargy, restlessness, hallucinations, and disorientation. Serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening toxicity has also been reported at therapeutic doses. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes (agitation, hallucinations, delirium, and coma), autonomic instability (tachycardia, labile blood pressure, dizziness, diaphoresis, flushing, hyperthermia), neuromuscular symptoms (tremor, rigidity, myoclonus, hyperreflexia, incoordination), seizures, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). While serotonin syndrome has been reported during vilazodone monotherapy, it is a particular concern when used with other serotonergic drugs and with drugs that impair metabolism of serotonin (in particular, monamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). The concomitant use of vilazdone with MAOIs intended to treat psychiatric disorders is contraindicated. Vilazodone is also not approved for use in pediatric patients. Pooled analyses of short-term placebo-controlled studies of antidepressant drugs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and others) showed that these drugs increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults with major depressive disorder and other psychiatric disorders. Also, some neonates exposed to serotonegic antidepressants (including vilazodone) late in the third trimester of pregnancy have developed complications requiring prolonged hospitalization, respiratory support, and tube feeding. Such complications can arise immediately upon delivery. Reported clinical findings have included respiratory distress, cyanosis, apnea, seizures, temperature instability, feeding difficulty, vomiting, hypoglycemia, hypotonia, hypertonia, hyperreflexia, tremor, jitteriness, irritability, and constant crying. In some cases, the clinical picture is consistent with serotonin syndrome. Infants exposed to vilazodone in pregnancy may also have an increased risk for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, a rare heart and lung condition associated with substantial neonatal morbidity and mortality. ANIMAL STUDIES: Vilazodone caused some developmental toxicity in rats, but was not teratogenic in rats or rabbits. When vilazodone was administered to pregnant rats at an oral dose of 30 times the maximum recommended human dose during the period of organogenesis and throughout pregnancy and lactation, the number of live born pups was decreased. There was an increase in early postnatal pup mortality, and among surviving pups there was decreased body weight, delayed maturation, and decreased fertility in adulthood. There was some maternal toxicity at this dose. Hepatotoxicity In premarketing studies, liver test abnormalities were uncommon in patients taking vilazodone (Likelihood score: E* (unproven but suspected rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).

Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation Interactions Concomitant administration of vilazodone and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., erythromycin) can result in increased plasma vilazodone concentrations. During concurrent administration with moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., erythromycin), the dosage of vilazodone should be reduced to 20 mg once daily in patients experiencing intolerable adverse effects. Concomitant administration of vilazodone and potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., clarithromycin, ketoconazole) can increase plasma vilazodone concentrations by approximately 50%. The manufacturer states that the dosage of vilazodone should be reduced to 20 mg once daily if administered concomitantly with a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor. Potentially serious, sometimes fatal adverse reactions may occur in patients who are receiving or have recently received a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor and then initiate therapy with antidepressant(s) that are pharmacologically similar to vilazodone (e.g., SSRIs), or in those who received SSRI therapy shortly before initiation of an MAO inhibitor. Concomitant use of MAO inhibitors with vilazodone is contraindicated. In addition, at least 2 weeks should elapse between discontinuance of an MAO inhibitor and initiation of vilazodone and vice versa. Linezolid, an anti-infective agent that is also a reversible MAO inhibitor, has been associated with drug interactions resulting in serotonin syndrome, including some associated with SSRIs. Because of this potential risk, linezolid generally should not be used in patients receiving vilazodone. While the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not received reports of serotonin syndrome with concomitant use of linezolid and vilazodone to date, the risk is considered comparable to that with SSRIs. However, the FDA states that certain life-threatening or urgent situations may necessitate immediate linezolid treatment in a patient receiving a serotonergic drug. In such emergency situations, the availability of alternative anti-infectives should be considered and the benefits of linezolid should be weighed against the risk of serotonin syndrome. If linezolid is indicated in such emergency situations, vilazodone must be immediately discontinued and the patient monitored for symptoms of CNS toxicity for 2 weeks or until 24 hours after the last linezolid dose, whichever comes first. Treatment with vilazodone may be resumed 24 hours after the last linezolid dose. If nonemergency use of linezolid is being planned for a patient receiving vilazodone, vilazodone should be withheld for at least 2 weeks prior to initiating linezolid. Treatment with vilazodone should not be initiated in a patient receiving linezolid; when necessary, vilazodone may be started 24 hours after the last linezolid dose. Antidote and Emergency Treatment /SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
