Haloperidol decanoate

Haloperidol Decanoate is the decanoate ester of haloperidol, a phenylbutylpiperadine derivative with antipsychotic, neuroleptic and antiemetic effects. Haloperidol competitively blocks postsynaptic dopamine (D2) receptors in the mesolimbic system of the brain leading to anti-delusionary and anti-hallucinogenic effects. The antagonistic activity mediated through D2 dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptive trigger zone (CTZ) account for its antiemetic activity. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Neurotransmitter agents. Its therapeutic use is listed as central nervous system (CNS) agents and veterinary tranquilizers. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Haldol Dec and Halomonth. Its PubChem CID is 52919.
