생물학적 활성
Potent, selective dopamine D 2 and D 3 receptor antagonist. K i values are 2.8 and 3.2 nM respectively for human D 2 and D 3 and > 1000 nM for human D 1 , D 4 and D 5 receptors. Shows selectivity for presynaptic dopamine autoreceptors at low doses and blocks postsynaptic D 2 /D 3 receptors at higher doses. Preferentially interacts with limbic D 2 -like receptors in vivo . Atypical antipsychotic/antischizophrenic agent with limited extrapyrimidal side effects and a profile distinct from that of haloperidol and remoxipride.
