Application

Zotepine has been used as an anti-psychotic agent:
  • in biophysical studies with serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2AR)
  • to study its effects on the inhibition of human organic cation transporter 1 (hOCT1)
  • to study its protective effects on the human embryonic kidney (HEK cells)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Zotepine acts as an antagonist of dopamine D1, D2, and serotonin (5-HT2A/2C) receptors, and noradrenaline transporters. It shows therapeutic effects against schizophrenia and acute mania.
Zotepine is an atypical antipsychotic.

Prior early prediction models for antipsychotic treatment response demonstrate good specificity but poor sensitivity (i.e., high false-negative rates). The purpose of this study was to refine the early prediction model in schizophrenia patients taking an atypical antipsychotic agent, zotepine. 135

Zotepine is a relatively new antipsychotic often used for the treatment of people with schizophrenia. It is claimed to be particularly effective for negative symptoms. To determine the effects of zotepine compared with placebo, typical and other atypical antipsychotic drugs

Atypical antipsychotics are increasingly used in the management of acute mania. This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of zotepine compared to haloperidol in combination with a mood stabilizer (lithium or valproate) for treatment of acute mania.

Besides the three antidepressant-sensitive, Na(+)- and Cl(-)-dependent monoamine transporters, Na(+)-independent organic cation transporters (OCTs) are known to transport monoamines. However, little is known about the interactions of psychotropic drugs with human (h) OCTs. In the present study, a series of

A simple, rapid, and sensitive on-line liquid chromatographic electrochemistry/electrospray/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-EC/ESI-MS/MS) method for the determination of zotepine in human serum was developed using a new generated-electrochemically fragment ion, and was validated. A recent novel technique of LC-EC/ESI-MS/MS that combines
