Mazapertine (RWJ-37796) is an antipsychotic agent that was developed by Johnson & Johnson but never marketed. It exerts its pharmacological effect through affinity for dopamine D2, serotonin 5-HT1A, and α1-adrenergic receptors.[1]

Mazapertine is safe and well tolerated when administered orally.[2]

Analogs of mazapertine with conformational restriction have been prepared and have greater affinity for the 5-HT1A receptor.[3]
