Антипсихотические средства: от фенотиазинов к атипичным нейролептикам нового поколения

Аннотация

The paper addresses evolution of the problem of creation, characterization of the pharmacological properties, and elucidation of the mechanisms of action of antipsychotic drugs (neuroleptics) - one of the most important classes of modern psychotropic drugs. The appearance of these drugs marked the onset of a new era in psychiatry, the era of psychoparmacology. Special attention is devoted to the investigations in this direction at the Institute of Pharmacology, which were headed by V. V. Zakusov.
