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
