Seroquel (quetiapine), according to its pharmacology, is a serotonin, dopamine, and adrenergic antagonist. This means that quetiapine binds to the receptors for those substances, which are naturally produced in the brain. Zyprexa (olanzapine) is primarily a serotonin antagonist and lesser with dopamine. These are mood altering drugs and substances particularly serotonin where 90% is produced by cell in our gastrointestinal tract. I hope this helps.

Theses compounds are exerting their effects through monoamine oxidase. :)
