Lurasidone is a psychotropic agent belonging to the chemical class of benzoisothiazol derivatives. The mechanism of action of lurasidone is unknown, however has been suggested that the efficacy of lurasidone in schizophrenia is mediated through a combination of central dopamine Type 2 (D2 ) and serotonin Type 2 (5HT2A) receptor antagonism.
