Clozapine (hydrochloride)

Clozapine hydrochloride (HF 1854 hydrochloride) is an antipsychotic used for the research of schizophrenia. Clozapine hydrochloride has high affinity for a number of neuroreceptors. Clozapine hydrochloride is a potent antagonist of dopamine D2 with a Ki of 75 nM. Clozapine hydrochloride inhibits the muscarinic M1 receptor and serotonin 5HT2A receptor with Kis of 9.5 nM and 4 nM, respectively[1][2][3]. Clozapine hydrochloride is also a potent and selective agonist at the muscarinic M4 receptor (EC50=11 nM) [4].
