title: CGS 10746B: an atypical antipsychotic candidate that selectively decreases dopamine release at behaviorally effective doses.
abstract: CGS 10746B, a benzothiadiazepine, has a behavioral profile in mice and monkeys similar to the atypical antipsychotic clozapine. Unlike clozapine, CGS 10746B suppresses dopamine neuron firing rates and, when administered at behaviorally effective doses by the oral or intraperitoneal route, decreases neostriatal dopamine release without changing dopamine metabolism or occupying D2 receptors. CGS 10746B is the first atypical antipsychotic candidate that selectively decreases dopamine release.
