title: Pharmacological evaluation of a diarylmethylene-piperidine derivative: a new potent atypical antipsychotic?
abstract: A new diaryl-methylene piperidine derivative, 2, displayed an atypical antipsychotic profile both in vitro and in vivo. The main pharmacological characteristics of this compound appears to reside in a more potent antagonism of the 5-HT2 serotonergic receptor than of the D2 dopaminergic receptor. This confirms that molecules displaying a D2/5-HT2 binding ratio < 1 possess clozapine-like antipsychotic activity.
