  • Biological Activity
Description Clozapine is an antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia. Clozapine is a potent antagonist of dopamine and a number of other receptors, with a Ki of 9.5 nM for M1 receptor.Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug because it binds to serotonin as well as dopamine receptors. Clozapine is a partial agonist at the 5-HT1A subunit of the serotonin receptor, putatively improving depression, anxiety, and the negative cognitive symptoms associated with schizophrenia. A direct interaction of clozapine with the GABAB receptor has also been shown. GABAB receptor-deficient mice exhibit increased extracellular dopamine levels and altered locomotor behaviour equivalent to that in schizophrenia animal models.
