Butyrophenone is a chemical compound; some of its derivatives (called commonly butyrophenones) are used to treat various psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, as well as acting as antiemetics.[1]
Examples of butyrophenones include:
- Haloperidol, the most widely used classical antipsychotic drug in this class[1]
- Benperidol, the most potent commonly used antipsychotic (200 times more potent than chlorpromazine)[1][2]
- Droperidol, a commonly used antiemetic for postoperative nausea and vomiting
