Ecopipam (SCH-39166) is a synthetic benzazepine derivative drug that acts as a selective dopamine D1/D5 receptor antagonist, with little affinity for either dopamine D2-like or 5-HT2 receptors.[1] It has sedative, antipsychotic and anorectic effects, and was researched for human use although never approved for medical prescription, mainly because of side effects such as depression and anxiety.[2][3]
