1-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutyl]-4-piperidin-1-ylpiperidine-4-carboxamide
Pipamperone is a typical antipsychotic from the group of butyrophenones, primarily acting as a dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A antagonist. It is mainly used for the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders and possesses sedative properties. The substance also affects alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, which can lead to side effects such as orthostasis. Due to its pharmacological profile, the risk for extrapyramidal side effects is moderate.

Receptor Profile
Der 5-HT2A-Rezeptor ist ein Serotonin-Rezeptor der Klasse Gq-gekoppelter GPCRs. Er ist der primäre molekulare Angriffspunkt klassischer Psychedelika und spielt eine Rolle bei Kognition und Wahrnehmung.
Der D2-Rezeptor ist ein Gi-gekoppelter Dopaminrezeptor mit hoher Dichte im Striatum. Er ist ein wichtiges Ziel für Antipsychotika und moduliert motorische Funktionen sowie Belohnungsverarbeitung.
