Olanzapine is classified as a thienobenzodiazepine derivative. Its chemical structure consists of a fused tricyclic system incorporating a thiophene ring and a diazepine ring. Specifically, olanzapine features a piperazine substituent at the R4 position of the diazepine moiety. This piperazine ring is believed to contribute to its affinity for various neurotransmitter receptors, particularly serotonergic and dopaminergic sites. The compound has a molecular formula of C17H20N4OS, with a molecular weight of 312.44 g/mol. Its IUPAC name is 2-methyl-4-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-10H-thieno[2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepine.
