| Promethazine |
Promethazine is a potent, long acting, antihistamine with additional anti-emetic central sedative and anti-cholinergic properties. |
|
| Tetrabenazine |
Tetrabenazine is a synthetic derivative of benzylquinolizine that causes depletion of dopamine and other monoamines in the central nervous system. The precise mechanism by which tetrabenazine exerts its effects is unknown, but is believed to be related to its effect as a reversible depletor of monoamines (such as dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and histamine) from nerve terminals. Neurotransmitter depletion by a single dose of tetrabenazine is reversible and lasts only a few hours. |
|
| Tiapride |
Tiapride is an atypical neuroleptic which exhibits selectivity in in-vitro studies for D2 and D3 dopamine subtype receptors without any affinity for subtype receptors of the principal central neurotransmitters (including serotonin, noradrenaline and histamine). |
