Uses
Pipamperone dihydrochloride may be used:
- as an internal standard in liquid chromatography with coulometric detection
- as an antipsychotic drugs to test its interaction with human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) channel
- as an internal standard to spike human colostrum samples for reversed phase liquid chromatography- ultraviolet (LC-UV) analysis
Definition
ChEBI: A hydrochloride resulting from the reaction of pipamperone with 2 mol eq. of hydrogen chloride. It is used as an antipsychotic.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pipamperone, a butyrophenone derivative is a pharmacological chaperone and is a membrane-permeable dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) antagonist. The affinity of pipamperone is higher for DRD4 and 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor (5-HT2A) in comparison with DRD2. It may be useful therapeutic in treating behavioral disorders and psychomotor agitation symptoms.
