Oxypertine (Equipertine, Forit, Integrin, Lanturil, Lotawin, Opertil) is an antipsychotic used in the treatment of schizophrenia.[1] It was also evaluated for the treatment of anxiety at a dosage of 20 mg per day.[2] Chemically, it is an indole and phenylpiperazine derivative.[3] Like reserpine and tetrabenazine, oxypertine depletes catecholamines, though not serotonin, possibly underlying its neuroleptic efficacy.[4] Its structure is similar to solypertine and milipertine.
