Roluperidone
Roluperidone (pronounced roh-loo-peh-ri-dohn) is an antipsychotic medication currently under development for the treatment of schizophrenia and other related mental health disorders.
Etymology
The term "Roluperidone" is derived from the Latin roots "rolo" meaning to roll, and "peridone" which is a common suffix used in the naming of antipsychotic medications.
Pharmacology
Roluperidone is a selective antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor and sigma-2 receptor. It is believed to work by modulating the activity of these receptors, thereby reducing the symptoms of schizophrenia.
Clinical Trials
Roluperidone has undergone several clinical trials to assess its safety and efficacy in treating schizophrenia. The results of these trials have been promising, with Roluperidone demonstrating a significant reduction in the symptoms of schizophrenia compared to placebo.
