Thiothixene
Thiothixene is a thioxanthene typical antipsychotic that blocks dopamine D2 receptors in the mesolimbic and mesocortical pathways, reducing positive symptoms of psychosis in schizophrenia and related conditions. It also has some affinity for alpha-adrenergic and histamine H1 receptors, contributing to orthostatic hypotension and sedation. Its high potency D2 blockade is associated with a higher risk of extrapyramidal side effects compared to lower-potency antipsychotics.
