While its exact mechanism of action is not well characterized,[2] it is believed to be an NMDA receptor antagonist,[5][6] but also promoting the synthesis of dopamine.[7]
Because it provides additional benefits relative to existing treatments, it probably does not precisely mimic the mechanism of an existing known treatment.[7][8]
It is an hERG blocker and can produce long QT syndrome as a side effect.[9]
Synthesis
Budipine can be prepared from the 1-tert-butyl-4-piperidone [1465-76-5] directly by treatment with benzene in the presence triflic acid.[12] This method of synthesis enables a 99% yield of product.

4-Phenyl-1-t-butyl-4-piperidinol,[14] (1)
