Description
Flupentixol is an antipsychotic drug of the thioxanthene group. It exists in two geometric isomers, the trans (E) and pharmacologically active cis (Z) forms. Flupentixol decanoate is one of the active ingredients found in injectable drug formulations: it is produced by esterification of cis (Z) ?flupentixol with decanoic acid. Flupentixol is an antagonist of both D1 and D2 dopamine receptors.
