Ataraktiki

Ataractics are a group of psychotropic drugs. Ataractics are drugs that relieve anxiety and psycho-emotional stress. Tranquilizers are ataractics in their pure form, or simply sedatives. But there are also antipsychotics - drugs from the ataractic group with additional effects. They affect various aspects of the psyche, increasing mood, concentration, performance, creativity, and also relieve symptoms of various diseases: anxiety, depression, pain of various natures, panic attacks, insomnia, etc.

**Ataractics** are psychoactive substances (surfactants) that act on brain receptors, causing a state of altered consciousness in a person. They are a group of antipsychotics used to eliminate negative symptoms and improve the physical, mental and emotional state of the patient. Ataractics are derivatives of butyrophenone - chlorpromazine and trifluoropropanol, phenothiazine - thioridazine, tetrahydrofuran - diphenolmetol, anxiolytics - picrolich, nolip. Hydrocarbon derivatives have a histamine-like effect, and phenothiazenes - with a central stimulating effect, while atarax refers to a newly discovered compound with an original mechanism of action. For the first time in Russia, chemical studies of this group of substances were carried out by V. A. Rakovsky. Subsequently, detailed scientific publications appeared about his contribution to the discovery, study and experimental study of these substances by Z. I. Kuprash, V. N. Gordeicheva, N. V. Doznar and others. In this regard, they are often called “cancer-Kuprashist” "substances, although before the discoveries of I. S. Salganik, V. Z. Kartsev and other domestic scientists, they were not known in the world of specialists. Despite widespread belief, one of the first truly discovered and described in pharmacology of a butyrophenone derivative was chlorpromazine (atropine), a long-acting tranquilizer proposed by the domestic pharmacologist A.A. Letavet in 1925. These discoveries laid the foundation for the modern philosophy of psychotropic drugs synthesized using modern chemical technologies and physical methods for determining chemical structures, turning pharmacology into one of the fastest growing branches of science.
