Spiperone (CAS 749-02-0)
QUICK LINKS
Spiperone is a potent antagonist of dopamine D2 receptors and serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, predominantly used in neuroscience research to elucidate the pathways and functions of these neurotransmitters in the brain. Its high affinity for these receptor sites makes it useful for mapping the distribution and density of D2 and 5-HT2 receptors in various regions of the brain using radiolabeled forms in imaging studies. Spiperone also serves as a reference compound in pharmacological studies to investigate the effects of receptor blockade, which can shed light on the underlying mechanisms of neuropsychiatric conditions. Furthermore, its ability to bind selectively to these receptors is exploited in receptor binding assays to screen for potential receptor ligands.
