Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): dopamine receptor D2 antagonist
An antagonist that binds to and deactivates the dopamine receptor D2, the main receptor for all antipsychotic drugs.
alpha-adrenergic antagonist
An agent that binds to but does not activate alpha-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of endogenous or exogenous alpha-adrenergic agonists. alpha-Adrenergic antagonists are used in the treatment of hypertension, vasospasm, peripheral vascular disease, shock, and pheochromocytoma.
serotonergic antagonist
Drugs that bind to but do not activate serotonin receptors, thereby blocking the actions of serotonin or serotonergic agonists.
metabolite
Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites.
(via alkaloid )
Application(s): alpha-adrenergic antagonist

serotonergic antagonist
Drugs that bind to but do not activate serotonin receptors, thereby blocking the actions of serotonin or serotonergic agonists.
