ABSTRACT

Iloperidone or 40-[3-[4-(6-Fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)piperidino] propoxy]-30-methoxyacetophenone is an atypical psychotropic agent belonging to piperidinyl-benzisoxazole derivative, having marked antagonistic actions on adrenergic, serotonergic, and dopaminergic receptors. It is an excellent emerging drug in anxiety and schizophrenia, and particularly useful in acute stages due to involvement of single nucleotide polymorphism in action.
