5-[2-[4-(1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-1-yl]ethyl]-6-chloro-1,3-dihydroindol-2-one
Ziprasidone is an atypical antipsychotic that primarily exerts its effects through antagonistic action at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. It is used for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorders and is characterized by a lower risk of weight gain. Side effects may include cardiac effects and sedation. The pharmacological action also includes inhibition of serotonin reuptake.
