Description
An atypical antipsychotic; binds to α1- and α2-adrenergic and dopamine D2 receptors (Kds = 180, 150, and 180 nM, respectively), as well as 5-HT2A (Kd = 102 nM); selective for these receptors over histamine H1, muscarinic, 5-HT1A, 5-HT1D, and 5-HT2C receptors (Kds = 580, >10,000, 2,200, 3,400, and 2,100 nM, respectively); increases basal extracellular dopamine levels in the rat nucleus accumbens at 2 mg/kg per day
