Abstract

For many years neuroleptic drugs have been used as the only rational pharmacotherapy of schizophrenia. Over these years, it has been demonstrated that there is a very close correlation between the ability of neuroleptics to control psychosis and the degree of dopamine D2 receptor affinity [1,2]. Recently several dopamine receptor subtypes have been identified by means of molecular biology cloning techniques [3,4]. Currently two major families of dopamine receptor genes have been identified, a D1 family comprising D1A and D5 receptors, and a D2 family comprising D2-long, D2-short, D3 and D4 subtypes. Work in this area has further confirmed that neuroleptic drugs share the ability to block receptors within the D2 family. Some, but not all of the neuroleptics, interact with the D1 receptors.
