Amperozide（Cat No.:I022123） is an antipsychotic compound that acts as a 5-HT2 receptor antagonist. It has been observed to reduce craving for cocaine in rats, suggesting a potential role in managing substance abuse disorders. Additionally, in pigs, amperozide has demonstrated a reduction in agonistic behaviors, including biting and slashing. These findings indicate its potential as an intervention for aggressive behavior.
