CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)



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.
Piribedil is an antiparkinsonian agent which acts as D2 and D3 receptor agonist. In European countries and worldwide it is used as a monotherapy or in combination with dopatherapy for treatment of Parkinson's disease, cognitive impairment and obliterating arteriopathy.

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.

CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)



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.

Conditions:

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

Bromperidol decanoate is a long-acting antipsychotic medication used in at least Belgium, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. In clinical trials, Bromperidol decanoate was effective in the treatment of residual schizophrenia, with significant differences between before and after treatment ratings for symptoms. The preparation seems to be less potent than other depot antipsychotics (such as fluphenazine and haloperidol decanoate) and better than placebo injection. If bromperidol decanoate is available to the clinician it may be a viable choice, especially when there are reasons not to use fluphenazine or haloperidol decanoate.
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

Fencamfamin is a camphane derivative, although lacking typical sympathomimetic properties. It is structurally related to the phenylethylamines. It is a central nervous stimulant with pharmacological properties similar to amphetamine. Fencamfamin developed primarily as appetite suppressant or pscyhostimulant, not to increase awareness. Fencamfamin reduces REM sleep and prevents fatigue in subjects deprived of sleep. Fencamfamin raises a mood.
