Fluperlapine

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellnesspedia

Fluperlapine is a drug that was developed by Janssen Pharmaceutica in the 1970s. It is classified as an atypical antipsychotic and antidepressant. However, it was never marketed.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Fluperlapine is known to bind to the serotonin and dopamine receptors. It has high affinity for the 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, D1, and D2 receptors. It also has moderate affinity for the 5-HT1A, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 receptors.

Clinical Trials[edit | edit source]

Fluperlapine has been tested in clinical trials for the treatment of schizophrenia and depression. However, it was found to have a high incidence of side effects, including sedation and weight gain, which led to its discontinuation.
