Scientific Background | Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic widely recognized for its efficacy in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. It acts as a multi-receptor antagonist, particularly targeting serotonin (5-HT2A/2C) and dopamine receptors, which are critical in modulating mood, cognition, and perception. In neuroscience, Clozapine is frequently cited for its unique pharmacological profile that contributes to reduced extrapyramidal side effects and improved cognitive outcomes. Its influence on glutamatergic and cholinergic systems has also made it a subject of interest in neurodegenerative disease research, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Clozapine’s neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties further enhance its relevance in studying the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. |
