Application
Zotepine has been used as an anti-psychotic agent:
- in biophysical studies with serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2AR)
- to study its effects on the inhibition of human organic cation transporter 1 (hOCT1)
- to study its protective effects on the human embryonic kidney (HEK cells)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Zotepine acts as an antagonist of dopamine D1, D2, and serotonin (5-HT2A/2C) receptors, and noradrenaline transporters. It shows therapeutic effects against schizophrenia and acute mania.
Zotepine is an atypical antipsychotic.

Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic demonstrated to be superior in the treatment of refractory schizophrenia which causes fewer movement disorders. Clozapine, however, entails a significant risk of serious blood disorders such as agranulocytosis which could be potentially fatal. Currently there

Remission seems achievable for a portion of schizophrenic patients. This study aimed to identify the early predictors for remission and to establish an optimal prediction model. One hundred thirty-five acutely ill schizophrenic inpatients received 150-mg/d zotepine treatment for 4 weeks.

In many countries of the industrialised world, second generation (atypical) antipsychotic drugs have become first line treatment for people with schizophrenia. The question as to whether the effects of various second generation antipsychotic drugs differ is a matter of debate.

Besides the three antidepressant-sensitive, Na(+)- and Cl(-)-dependent monoamine transporters, Na(+)-independent organic cation transporters (OCTs) are known to transport monoamines. However, little is known about the interactions of psychotropic drugs with human (h) OCTs. In the present study, a series of

A simple, rapid, and sensitive on-line liquid chromatographic electrochemistry/electrospray/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-EC/ESI-MS/MS) method for the determination of zotepine in human serum was developed using a new generated-electrochemically fragment ion, and was validated. A recent novel technique of LC-EC/ESI-MS/MS that combines
