Abstract
The butyrophenones constitute a series of potent neuroleptic compounds among which haloperidol has been the most intensively studied. The butyrophenones differ from the phenothiazine neuroleptics by the almost complete absence of effects on the peripheral autonomic nervous system. The pharmacological literature has been summarized by Janssen (1967).
