Zotepine functions as a dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2 receptor antagonist. It acts by blocking the binding of dopamine and serotonin to their respective receptors, thereby inhibiting their signaling pathways. This interference with neurotransmitter binding results in a decrease in the activity of dopamine and serotonin in the brain. Zotepine′s function in experimental applications involves its ability to modulate neurotransmitter activity, providing insights into the role of dopamine and serotonin in various biological processes.
