Perphenazine antipsychotic drug
Perphenazine antipsychotic drug, molecular model. This drug, marketed as Trilafon, Triavil and Etrafon, is a common treatment for patients suffering from psychoses, including schizophrenia and manic phases of bipolar disorder. It blocks the receptors for the neurotransmitter dopamine. Although the relationship between psychoses and dopamine is not fully understood, it is thought that many symptoms are linked to an excess of dopamine. Consequently, blocking the receptors can reduce these symptoms. Atoms in this model are represented by coloured rods; carbon is light blue, hydrogen is white, nitrogen is dark blue, sulphur is yellow, chlorine is green, and oxygen is red

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular model of Perphenazine, a widely used antipsychotic drug. Marketed under various names such as Trilafon, Triavil, and Etrafon, this medication is commonly prescribed to patients suffering from psychoses like schizophrenia and manic phases of bipolar disorder. By blocking the receptors for dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain, Perphenazine helps alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions. The intricate structure depicted in this image represents different atoms using colored rods: carbon (light blue), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (dark blue), sulphur (yellow), chlorine (green), and oxygen (red). This visual representation highlights the complexity of chemical compounds involved in pharmacology and biochemistry. While the exact relationship between psychoses and dopamine remains partially understood, it is believed that an excess of dopamine contributes to many symptoms experienced by patients. Consequently, by blocking dopamine receptors through its molecular structure shown here, Perphenazine can effectively reduce these distressing symptoms. This remarkable artwork not only provides insight into the biological mechanisms behind mental health disorders but also emphasizes the crucial role pharmaceuticals play in treating them. With its blend of science and aesthetics, this image from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of how scientific advancements continue to shape our understanding of psychiatric conditions while offering hope for those affected by them.
