Clofluperol is a neuroleptic tranquilizer of the butyrophenone class. It has the same aromatic piperidinol moiety that is present in penfluridol and fluperamide. The structure can be seen to be a sort of hybrid between that of trifluperidol and haloperidol.

Like penfluridol, clofuperol seems to share the property that it is a long-acting antipsychotic. [1]
