Chemical Information: - English Name: Ziprasidone Mesylate - CAS Number: 138982-67-9 - Molecular Formula: C22H25ClN4O4S2 - Molecular Weight: 509.04
Pharmacological Actions:
Drug Type: Ziprasidone mesylate is classified as an atypical antipsychotic medication.
Mechanism of Action: Ziprasidone exhibits its effects through a combination of antagonistic activities on dopamine D2 receptors and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors.
