        | [image] chlorpromazine
 
 Substituents in the aromatic rings:
 chlorpromazine is not symmetric making the molecule not able to freely rotate; the molecule fits perfectly into the DA receptor
 promethazine doesn't have the groups and doesn't bind to the dopamine receptor as well.
 Cl is electronegative and the N is electropositive; they draw each other together and stabilize the structure (for phenothiazines) the Cl (and other substituents) can only be on the 2 position
 substitutions that will be GOOD for activity are electro-negative:  CI3, SO2N, SO2C3, Cl
 substituents that are BAD for activity:  NH2, OH, CH3
 
 side chain:
 van der waal's interactions are important; alkyl side chain is active, but an alicyclic side chain increasing the van der waal's interactions and increases activity; CYCLE IS BETTER THAN A CHAIN (BUT NOT AN AROMATIC RING!!)
 piperidine is good (only one N in the cycle and no double bonds)
 if another N is added to the cycle, it becomes a very GOOD substituent (piperizine ring)
 have to have 3 carbons between the tricyclic system and the tertiary amine; the tertiary amine must be in this position (not longer or shorter) to mimic the shape of dopamine
 has to be a tertiary amine on the side chain!
 
 
 phenothiazines vs. thioxanthenes:
 phenothiazines: the structure of the molecule is maintained by the interaction between the 2 position substituent and the tertiary amine
 thioxanthenes:
 [image]
 the structure must be the cis isomer which is kept stable by the double bond.
 only the cis isomer will have a high affinity for D2 receptors
 [image]
 thioxanthenes have higher receptor affinity than phenothiazines

 affinity for 5HT-2A receptors (D2 receptor antagonism coupled with 5HT-2A receptor antagonism)

 high 5HT-2A receptor affinity does NOT mean it is an atypical anti-psychotic
 
 clozapine "atypicality" may be related to its high affinity for D4 receptors
 
 quetiapine, has no appreciable affinity for D4 receptors
