Raclopride is a typical antipsychotic. It acts as a selective antagonist on D₂ dopamine receptors.^[1] It has been used in trials studying Parkinson Disease.^[2]

Its selectivity to the cerebral D₂ receptors is characterized by its respective K_i-values, which are as follows: 1.8, 3.5, 2400 and 18000 nM for D₂, D₃, D₄ and D₁ receptors respectively.

It can be radiolabelled with radioisotopes, e.g. ³H or ¹¹C and used as a tracer for in vitro imaging (autoradiography) as well as in vivo imaging positron emission tomography (PET). Images obtained by cerebral PET scanning (e.g. PET/CT or PET/MRI) allow the non-invasive assessment of the binding capacity of the cerebral D₂ dopamine receptor, which can be useful for the diagnosis of movement disorders. In particular, cerebral D₂ receptor binding as measured by carbon-11-raclopride (¹¹C-raclopride) has shown to reflect disease severity of Huntington's disease, a genetic disease characterized by selective degeneration of cerebral D₂ receptors.^[3]

Other studies have investigated the relationship of D₂ receptor binding capacity and personality disorders. One study found decreased binding in the detachment personality trait.^[4] Radiolabelled raclopride is also commonly used to determine the efficacy and neurotoxicity of dopaminergic drugs.
