Risperidone is a selective monoaminergic antagonist with unique properties. It has a high affinity for serotoninergic 5-HT2 and dopaminergic D2-receptors. Risperidone binds also to a1-adrenergic receptors and with lower affinity, to H1-histaminergic and a2-adrenergic receptors. Risperidone has no affinity for cholinergic receptors. Although risperidone is a potent D2-antagonist, which is considered to improve the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, it causes less depression of motor Activity and induction of catalepsy than classical neuroleptics. Balanced central serotonin and dopamine antagonism may reduce extrapyramidal side effect liability and extend the therapeutic Activity to the negative and affective symptoms of schizophrenia.
