3-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzoxazol-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl]ethyl]-2-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one
Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic that primarily acts by blocking dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. It is used for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. The substance can cause side effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms and metabolic changes. Due to its pharmacological profile, it is often used as an alternative to classical neuroleptics.

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.
Der Serotonintransporter (SERT/5-HTT) ist ein Natrium-abhängiger Monoamintransporter, der Serotonin aus dem synaptischen Spalt zurück in die präsynaptische Zelle transportiert. Er ist das primäre Ziel von SSRI und MDMA.
Der H1-Rezeptor ist ein Gq/11-gekoppelter Histaminrezeptor, der an allergischen Reaktionen, Wachheit und Thermoregulation beteiligt ist. Antagonismus verursacht Sedierung und wird therapeutisch als Schlafhilfe und Antiallergikum genutzt.
