How Blonanserin works
Blonanserin binds to and inhibits dopamine receptors D2 and D3 as well as the serotonin receptor 5-HT2A with high affinity . Blonanserin has low affinity for other dopamine and serotonin receptors as well as muscarinic, adrenergic, and histamine receptors. This reduces dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmission which is thought to produce a reduction in positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia respectively.
