Overview

Perospirone is an atypical or second-generation antipsychotic of the azapirone family that antagonizes serotonin 5HT2A receptors and dopamine D2 receptors. It also displays affinity towards 5HT1A receptors as a partial agonist. Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma developed perospirone in Japan in 2001 for the treatment of acute schizophrenia and bipolar mania as well as chronic schizophrenia. It is commonly present as the hydrated hydrochloride salt form. Classified as a neuroleptic agent, perospirone is shown to be effective against positive, negative and general symptoms in patients with schizophrenia . It is also shown to be less associated with extrapyramidal symptoms as a side effect compared to Haloperidol.
