Rimcazole is a carbazole derivative that acts as a sigma receptor antagonist and studied as potential antipsychotic agent for the treatment of acute schizophrenic patients. In open-clinical trials Rimcazole (BW 234U) appears to be effective in acute schizophrenic patients. However, subsequent clinical trials demonstrated that rimcazole lacked efficacy in schizophrenic patients and it is now primarily used as an experimental tool. In addition to its actions as  receptor antagonist, rimcazole also has high affinity for dopamine transporters, and inrecent years it has served as a lead compound for the development of novel dopamine transporter ligands.
