Quetiapine Fumarate

Description
Quetiapine is an atypical antipsychotic agent which interacts with a broad range of neurotransmitter receptors. Quetiapine exhibits a higher affinity for serotonin (5HT2) receptors in the brain than it does for dopamine D1 and D2 receptors in the brain. Quetiapine also has high affinity at histaminergic and adrenergic-1 receptors, with a lower affinity at adrenergic-2 receptors, but no appreciable affinity at cholinergic muscarinic or benzodiazepine receptors. Quetiapine is active in tests for antipsychotic activity, such as conditioned avoidance.

Indications
Treatment of schizophrenia.
Treatment of manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
