Sertindole is an atypical antipsychotic that binds to dopamine D2 receptors and the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtypes 5-HT1D, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C (Kds = 2.7, 20, 0.14, and 6 nM, respectively).1 It also binds to histamine H1 and α1- and α2-adrenergic receptors (Kds = 320, 3.9, and 190 nM, respectively). In vivo, sertindole (10 mg/kg) increases extracellular dopamine, acetylcholine (ACh), and glutamate levels in the medial prefrontal cortex in conscious rats.2 Sertindole (2.5 mg/kg) reverses ketamine-induced impairments in the extradimensional shift stage of the attentional set-shifting task (ASST) in rats.3 It reverses phencyclidine (PCP)-induced selective reversal learning deficits in rats and subchronic PCP-induced deficits in the novel object recognition task in mice.4 Sertindole (0.02-0.32 mg/kg) also prevents accuracy deficits and anticipatory over-responding in the 5-choice serial reaction time task (5CSRTT) induced by the NMDA receptor antagonist (R)-CPP (Item No. 21569) in rats.5 Formulations containing sertindole have been used in the treatment of schizophrenia.
