Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Antipsychotics, also called neuroleptics, are a class of compounds with a high affinity for several subtypes of dopamine receptors. The chemical structure of the various antipsychotics allows them to bind to dopamine receptors without triggering the postsynaptic response that the binding of dopamine normally would.

Detailed explanation-2: -The dopamine receptor‐blocking effects of the neuroleptics are well‐recognized as a cause of iatrogenic parkinsonism, but are becoming less widespread as the atypical antipsychotics, such as clozapine, olanzepine, quetiapine, aripiprazole and ziprasidone, are used more extensively.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aripiprazole (Abilify) Asenapine (Saphris) Brexpiprazole (Rexulti) Cariprazine (Vraylar) Clozapine (Clozaril, Versacloz) Iloperidone (Fanapt) Lurasidone (Latuda) Olanzapine (Zyprexa) More items •07-Jan-2020
