Clocapramine is an antagonist of the D2, 5-HT2A receptors.
Clocapramine has a moderate affinity for D2-receptors in vitro. Clocapramine shows higher affinity for 5-HT2A than for D2-receptors in vitro[1].
Clocapramine shows the lowest potency for D2-occupancy in vivo[1]. An in vivo receptor binding technique is used to evaluate the binding profiles of typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs to striatal dopamine-D2 and frontal serotonin-5-HT2 receptors in a rat brain using more specific ligands. Clocapramine produces ratios of potency in occupying 5-HT2 versus D2 receptors that fall between these two groups (ED50 of 14.5 mg/kg for D2, 4.9 mg/kg for 5-HT2)[2].
