Pimozide
Orap (pimozide) is a small molecule pharmaceutical. Pimozide was first approved as Orap on 1984-07-31. It is used to treat huntington disease, psychotic disorders, schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders, and tourette syndrome in the USA. The pharmaceutical is active against 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A and D(2) dopamine receptor. In addition, it is known to target D(3) dopamine receptor, potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 10, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A, voltage-dependent T-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1I, histamine H1 receptor, G protein-activated inward rectifier potassium channel 2, voltage-dependent T-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1G, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 7, voltage-dependent T-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1H, and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 6.

General
Drug common namePIMOZIDE
INNpimozide
Description
Pimozide is a member of the class of benzimidazoles that is 1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one in which one of the nitrogens is substituted by a piperidin-4-yl group, which in turn is substituted on the nitrogen by a 4,4-bis(p-fluorophenyl)butyl group. It has a role as a H1-receptor antagonist, a serotonergic antagonist, a first generation antipsychotic, an antidyskinesia agent and a dopaminergic antagonist. It is a member of benzimidazoles, an organofluorine compound and a heteroarylpiperidine.
