    Product Description

    Fluspirilene is a dopamine D2 and D3 receptor antagonist (Kis = 1.5 and 1.1 nM, respectively).1 It is selective for dopamine D2 and D3 receptors over dopamine D1, α1- and α2-adrenergic, H1 histamine, and sigma-1 (σ1) receptors (Kis = 450, 102, >5,000, 540, and 150 nM, respectively), muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs; Ki = >5,000 nM), and the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtypes 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT2C, and 5-HT3 (Kis = 110, >5,000, 1,830, and >5,000 nM, respectively). Fluspirilene is also a noncompetitive inhibitor of L-type calcium (Cav1) channels with an IC50 value of 30 nM.2 It inhibits apomorphine-induced vomiting in dogs (ED50 = 0.011 mg/kg).3 Formulations containing fluspirilene have been used in the treatment of schizophrenia.
