Opipramol (Insidon, Pramolan, Ensidon, Oprimol) is an antidepressant and anxiolytic used in Germany and other European countries. Although it is a member of the tricyclic antidepressants, opipramol's primary mechanism of action is much different in comparison, it doesn’t represent a tricyclic antidepressant drug as it does not inhibit the neuronal uptake of norepinephrine and/or serotonin. Opipramol also acts as a low to moderate affinity antagonist for the D2, 5-HT2, H1, H2, and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. H1 and H2 receptor antagonism account for its antihistamine effects, and muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonism is responsible for its anticholinergic properties. Opipramol was developed by Schindler and Blattner in 1961. Opipramol is typically used in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and somatoform disorders. Its anxiolysis becomes prominent after only one to two weeks of chronic administration. Upon first commencing treatment, opipramol is rather sedating in nature due to its antihistamine properties, but this effect becomes less prominent with time. The therapy with Opipramol indicates an additional therapy with neuroleptics, hypnotics and tranquilizers (e.g. Barbiturates, Benzodiazepines). Therefore, it should be noted that some specific reactions, particularly CNS depressant effects could be intensified and an intensification of common side effects may occur. If necessary the dosage may be reduced. Co-administration with alcohol can cause stupor. MAO Inhibitors should be discontinued at least 14 days before the treatment with Opipramol. Concomitant use of Opipramol with β-blockers, antiarrhythmics (of class 1c), as well as drugs from tricyclic antidepressant group and preparations which influence the microsomal enzyme system, can lead to change in plasma concentration of these drugs. Co-administration of neuroleptics (example- haloperidol, risperidone) can increase the plasma concentration.

Pipamperone (INN, USAN, BAN), also known as Carpiperone and Floropipamide or Fluoropipamide, and as Floropipamide hydrochloride (JAN), is a typical antipsychotic of the butyrophenone family used in the treatment of schizophrenia. It is or has been marketed under brand names including Dipiperon, Dipiperal, Piperonil, Piperonyl, and Propitan. Pipamperone acts as an antagonist of the 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C D2, D3, D4, α1-adrenergic, and α2-adrenergic receptors. It shows the much higher affinity for the 5-HT2A and D4 receptors over the D2receptor (15-fold in the case of the D4 receptor, and even higher in the case of the 5-HT2A receptor), is regarded as "highly selective" for the former two sites at low doses. Pipamperone has low and likely insignificant affinity for the H1 and mACh receptors, as well as for other serotonin and dopamine receptors. Low-dose pipamperone (5 mg twice daily) has been found to accelerate and enhance the antidepressant effect of citalopram. Pipamperone is approved in some European countries. At its usually recommended antipsychotic dose (120–360 mg/d), it has relatively weak neuroleptic activity because it is only moderately effective as a dopamine D2-receptor antagonist, even at high doses.

Cinnarizine is a piperazine derivative with antihistaminic, antiserotonergic, antidopaminergic, and calcium channel-blocking activities. It inhibits calcium translocation across the vestibular sensory cells in the ampullae and maintains endolymph flow by preventing constriction of the stria vascularis. It is currently used for the treatment of nausea, vomiting, and vertigo caused by Meniere’s disease and other vestibular disorders. Cinnarizine is also used for prevention and treatment of motion sickness. Chronic use of cinnarizine may induce extrapyramidal symptoms.

Alizapride is a dopamine antagonist with prokinetic and antiemetic effects used in the treatment of nausea and vomiting, including postoperative nausea and vomiting. The anti-emetic action of Alizapride is due to its antagonist activity at D2 receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in the central nervous system (CNS)—this action prevents nausea and vomiting triggered by most stimuli. Structurally similar to metoclopramide and, therefore, shares similar other attributes related to emesis and prokinetics.

Benperidol is a relatively old antipsychotic drug that has been marketed since 1966. It has been used in Germany for 30 years, but is also available in Belgium, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK. Benperidol is a drug which is a highly potent butyrophenone derivative. It is the most potent neuroleptic on the European market, with chlorpromazine equivalency as high as 75 to 100 (about 150 to 200% potency in terms of dose compared to haloperidol). Benperidol was discovered at Janssen Pharmaceutica in 1961. Benperidol is a potent dopamine receptor antagonist, with a high affinity for the D2-sites. The antipsychotic effects of this drug are primarily due to blockade of the D receptors. In terms of D receptor blockade, benperidol is one of the most potent antipsychotic agents, being approximately eight times more potent than haloperidol. Benperidol also acts as a dopamine antagonist in the chemoreceptor trigger zone, giving rise to antiemetic properties. It is also a weak antagonist at muscarinic, histamine H1, and alpha1-adrenoceptors. Adverse effects include extrapyramidal side effects and tardive dykinesia

Lisuride (DOPERGIN®), a highly active dopaminergic ergot derivative with prolactin-lowering properties, has a pronounced affinity for dopamine receptors. It may also act as an agonist at some serotonin receptors. Lisuride (DOPERGIN®) is concentrated within the pituitary where it acts on dopamine receptors which inhibit prolactin release. It can be used in the clinical conditions where a dopaminergic or prolactin-lowering effect is needed.

Perlapine ‎is a sedative and hypnotic drug.The drug brand named Hypnodin contains generic salt-Perlapine and is manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceutical. Perlapine is a potent H1R inverse agonist. It showed robust sedative effects clinically. Perlapine belongs to antipsychotic drugs which elicit little or no Parkinsonism, it binds more loosely than dopamine to D2 receptors.

Metergoline is a psychoactive drug of the ergoline chemical class which acts as a ligand for various serotonin and dopamine receptors. Metergoline is an antagonist at various 5-HT receptor subtypes at a relatively low concentration and an agonist at dopamine receptors. Its use has been studied in various clinical settings such as a treatment for seasonal affective disorder, prolactin hormone regulation due to its inhibitory effect on prolactin release premenstrual dysphoric disorder in women and antianxiety treatment

Amisulpride, a benzamide derivative, shows a unique therapeutic profile being atypical antipsychotic. At low doses, it enhances dopaminergic neurotransmission by preferentially blocking presynaptic dopamine D2/D3 autoreceptors. At higher doses, amisupride antagonises postsynaptic dopamine D2 and D3 receptors, preferentially in the limbic system rather than the striatum, thereby reducing dopaminergic transmission. In addition its antagonism at serotonin 5-HT7 receptors likely underlies the antidepressant actions. Amisulpride is approved for clinical use in treating schizophrenia in a number of European countries and also for treating dysthymia, a mild form of depression, in Italy.

Lumateperone (ITI-722/ITI-007) is a dual 5HT2A receptor antagonist/dopamine phosphoprotein modulator (DPPM) for the treatment of schizophrenia. It is an orally available compound which combines potent 5HT2A receptor antagonism with cell-type-specific modulation of phosphoprotein pathways downstream of dopamine receptors. Lumateperone was developed by Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc., and is being evaluated for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar depression. In 3 efficacy studies in patients with acute schizophrenia, lumateperone was well-tolerated with a favorable safety profile, and in 2 studies of 3 demonstrated significantly superior efficacy over placebo.
