Metopimazine
Synonyms: EXP999; RP9965
Metopimazine is a selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist belonging to the phenothiazine class. It primarily targets the chemoreceptor trigger zone, effectively inhibiting nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy while maintaining low central side effects due to limited blood-brain barrier penetration. This compound is indicated for the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, though caution is advised regarding its application in acute gastroenteritis due to potential risks. Metopimazine is primarily utilized in research related to anti-dopaminergic anti-emetic therapies.
