Mafoprazine is an antipsychotic of the phenylpiperazine class which is used in veterinary medicine. [1] Intramuscular injections of mafoprazine mesylate are used for the sedation of pigs either on its own, [2] or in combination with sodium pentobarbital [3] or thiopental. [4]

It demonstrates activity as a D2 dopamine receptor antagonist, an α1 adrenergic receptor antagonist, and an α2 adrenergic receptor agonist. [5]
The affinity of mafoprazine for D2 dopamine receptors is 6 and 16 times lower than that of chlorpromazine and haloperidol, respectively, but 2 times higher than that of azaperone. [5]
The Ki for various receptors was determined using rat neuronal receptor binding assays.[ citation needed ]
Mafoprazine was first synthesized in 1988. [5] It is sold as Mafropan® by DS Pharma Animal Health Co. Ltd., Osaka, Japan.
