Product Information

• Name: (+)-9-Hydroxyrisperidone
• Synonyms: (9R)-3-[2-[4-(6-Fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-9-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4 -one9-(R)-Paliperidone(R)-9-Hydroxy risperidone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (+)-9-Hydroxyrisperidone is an active metabolite of risperidone, which is an atypical antipsychotic. It functions as a dopamine (D2) receptor antagonist and serotonin (5-HT2A) receptor antagonist. The (+)-9-hydroxyrisperidone binds to the D2 receptor in the brain and prevents dopamine from binding, thereby blocking dopamine D2 receptors. This blocks the action of dopamine on postsynaptic cells, which results in a decrease in dopaminergic effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms and akathisia. In addition, (+)-9-hydroxyrisperidone binds to serotonin 5-HT2A receptors and blocks serotonin from binding, thereby blocking serotonin effects such as hallucinations and suicidal thoughts.
