HPTP

HPTP is a monoaminergic neurotoxin related to MPTP.^[1][2][3][4] It is the dehydration product of haloperidol.^[1][2][4] The agent is specifically a dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotoxin.^[1] HPTP is a prodrug of HPP⁺, which mediates its monoaminergic neurotoxicity.^[1][2][4] This is analogous to how MPP⁺ mediates the neurotoxicity of MPTP.^[1][2][4] Other related compounds include RHPTP and RHPP⁺.^[5]
