Melperone-d4 hydrochloride is a deuterium-labeled form of Melperone hydrochloride, a butyrophenone with atypical antipsychotic properties. It functions as a multireceptor antagonist, targeting 5-HT2A, dopamine D2, α1-adrenergic, and α2-adrenergic receptors, along with weaker binding to other receptors. It also inhibits CYP2D6. This compound is valuable for research into schizophrenia and agitation in the elderly.
