Sultopride (trade names Barnetil, Barnotil, Topral) is an atypical antipsychotic of the benzamide chemical class used in Europe, Japan, and Hong Kong for the treatment of schizophrenia.[1][2][3] It was launched by Sanofi-Aventis in 1976.[1] Sultopride acts as a selective D2 and D3 receptor antagonist.[4] It has also been shown to have clinically relevant affinity for the GHB receptor as well, a property it shares in common with amisulpride and sulpiride.[5]
