MeSH definition : A tricylic dibenzodiazepine, classified as an atypical antipsychotic agent. It binds
several types of central nervous system receptors, and displays a unique pharmacological
profile. Clozapine is a serotonin antagonist, with strong binding to 5-HT 2A/2C receptor
subtype. It also displays strong affinity to several dopaminergic receptors, but shows
only weak antagonism at the dopamine D2 receptor, a receptor commonly thought to modulate
neuroleptic activity. Agranulocytosis is a major adverse effect associated with administration
of this agent.;
