The molecule is a member of the class of bipiperidines that is 1,4'-bipiperidine which is substituted at the 1' and 4' positions by 4-(p-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutyl and carboxamide groups, respectively. A first generation antipsychotic, its properties are generally similar to those of haloperidol. It has a role as a first generation antipsychotic, a serotonergic antagonist and a dopaminergic antagonist. It is a monocarboxylic acid amide, an aromatic ketone, an organofluorine compound, a member of bipiperidines and a tertiary amino compound. It is a conjugate base of a pipamperone(2+).
