General Description

2-{methyl[1-(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)propan-2-yl]amino}ethanol, also known as promazine, is a synthetic phenothiazine derivative that acts as an antagonist at various neurotransmitter receptors in the central nervous system. It is primarily used as an antipsychotic medication to treat various psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The compound exerts its therapeutic effects by blocking the action of dopamine and serotonin receptors, thereby reducing the overactivity of these neurotransmitters in the brain. Additionally, 2-{methyl[1-(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)propan-2-yl]amino}ethanol also has sedative and antiemetic properties, making it useful in the management of agitation and nausea. However, it can also cause side effects such as sedation, hypotension, and movement disorders.
