Description

Ocaperidone [R 79598] is an equipotent antagonist of central dopamine D2 and serotonin2 receptors being investigated as a potential antipsychotic agent. Ocaperidone is a benzisoxazol piperidine antipsychotic primarily binds and with high affinity to 5-HT2 (serotonin) receptors, alpha1 and alpha 2 adrenergic receptors, dopamine D2 receptors and histamine H1 receptors. Ocaperidone is an antagonist primarily at the 5HT and D2 receptors. A proposed mechanism of action is the central D2 receptor blockade which is common to all neuroleptics that are used to treat positive symptoms of schizophrenia.
