• Description: 8-Hydroxy loxapine is a drug that is used as an antipsychotic. It binds to the dopamine receptor in the brain and blocks its activity, which can lead to relief of some symptoms of schizophrenia. 8-Hydroxy loxapine has been shown to be effective against anesthetized rats, with a terminal half-life of about 1 hour. In clinical trials, this drug has been shown to have a good response in patients with Parkinson's disease and other extrapyramidal disorders. 8-Hydroxy loxapine is metabolized into an n-oxide in the liver and it binds to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers during bioanalysis. This drug also has regulatory approval for use as a nasal spray for treatment of agitation in elderly patients with dementia who are nonverbal or minimally verbal.
