Alizapride (Litican,Plitican,Superan,Vergentan) is adopamine antagonist withprokinetic andantiemetic effects used in the treatment ofnausea andvomiting, includingpostoperative nausea and vomiting. It is structurally related tometoclopramide and otherbenzamides.[1]
Alizapride acts on thevomiting center by blockingD2 dopamine receptors.[2]
Since alizapride is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, adverse effects may include temporary extrapyramidal motor disorders such as acutedystonia anddyskinesia.[3]
It has a plasma half-life of 3 hours.[3]
The synthesis of Alizapride happens in multiple steps:[4]

4-Aminosalicylic acid is firstmethylated usingdimethyl sulfate. Anitro group is then introduced that is reduced usingRaney nickel to afford an amino group. The two amino groups are then closed to atriazole ring usingsodium nitrite andhydrochloric acid. This is thencondensed with 1-allyl-2-aminomethylpyrrolidine to afford Alizapride.
