Dostarlimab
Dostarlimab is an IgG4 humanized monoclonal antibody targeted against the human programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1). PD-1 receptors are found on T-cells and, when activated, serve to inhibit immune responses - some cancers leverage this system by overexpressing PD-1 ligands, thereby effectively inhibiting the anti-tumor immune response that would typically attempt...

Clozapine
Clozapine is a tricyclic dibenzodiazepine, classified as an atypical antipsychotic agent. Clozapine displays affinity to various neuroreceptors with a particularly low affinity to the dopamine receptors, thus breaking the mold of first-generation antipsychotics and deeming it "atypical". . This low affinity to dopamine receptors results in fewer extrapyramidal side effects,...
