Butyrophenones are a class of pharmaceutical drugs used to treat various pyschiatric disorders such as schizophrenia.
Examples include:
- Haloperidol, the most widely used drug in this class
- Droperidol, often used for neuroleptanalgesic anesthesia and sedation in intensive care treatment
- Benperidol, the most potent commonly used antipsychotic (~ 200 times more potent as chlorpromazine)
- Triperidol, a highly potent antipsychotic (100 times more potent than chlorpromazine)
- Melperone, a weakly potent antipsychotic, in Europe commonly used for treatment of insomnia, confusional states, psychomotor agitation, and delirium, particular in geriatric patients
