THIOTHIXENE
THIOTHIXENE
Thioxanthenes are a chemical class of first-generation, conventional antipsychotic medications that are structurally related to phenothiazines, distinguished by a carbon-linked side chain replacing the nitrogen in the central tricyclic ring.
They exert their therapeutic effects primarily by acting as competitive antagonists at postsynaptic dopamine D2 receptors in the central nervous system, thereby dampening excessive dopaminergic neurotransmission in subcortical pathways.
Clinically, members of this class—such as thiothixene—are primarily indicated for the management of schizophrenia and other acute or chronic psychotic disorders.
