Dopamine antagonists anti-psychotic

Anti-psychotic agents, acting primarily as dopamine and 5-HT antagonists, are used mainly to treat schizophrenia. Newer agents such as olanzapine (Zyprexa) and risperidone (Risperidal) have fewer side-effects than the traditional phenothiazines, such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine). [Pg.659]

Rimcazole (BW 234U) (496) is a novel anti-pyretic, neuroleptic agent. It was found to be a specific competitive antagonist of a-sites in the brain. It reverses psychotic conditions induced in humans by phencyclidine and/or a-opiod antagonists, probably by binding to receptors in the brain (459-461). Rimcazole has an indirect effect on dopamine neurons with relative selectivity for AlO dopamine cells (462). [Pg.191]
