How does it work
Quetiapine blocks the receptors in the brain that dopamine interacts with. It helps to control schizophrenia and manic depression symptoms by preventing excessive dopamine activity.
Applications Or where it is used

Manufacturing process
The process involves preparation of quetiapine and/or its salts, including, quetiapine fumarate. Dibenzothiazepinone (dibenzo[bf][1,4]thiazepin-11(10H)-one) reacts with phosphorous oxychloride in the presence of triethylamine in an aromatic organic solvent like toluene or, xylene at reflux temperature in order to get an aromatic hydrocarbon solution of 11-chloro-dibenzo[bf][1,4]thiazepine. After that, 11-chloro-dibenzo[bf][1,4]thiazepine reacts with 2-(2-piperazin-1-ylethoxy)-ethanol to get quetiapine, following which, Compound I reacts with fumaric acid at high temperature to get quetiapine fumarate. The end-result is quetiapine fumarate which is widely used in pharmaceutical preparations.
