Bromperidol (BRP) is an analog of haloperidol, a potent butyrophenone neuroleptic. Reductive conversion of BRP carbonyl group to reduced bromperidol (RBRP) was confirmed in vitro using human liver. This NADPH-dependent reduction of BRP showed a similar inhibition pattern and Michaelis constants to haloperidol carbonyl reductase.
