Q

Clozapine metabolism*

A

1A2(major)/3A4 to N-desmethyl metabolite (active)

  • Cigarette smoking induces 1A2
  • 3A4 to Reactive Nitrenium Ion
  • Can either react with GSH, or protein nucleophiles, which leads to toxicities.

A

Reuction of ketone by? (active)
2D6 hydroxylation (at terminal methyl) (active)
3A4 O-demethylation (inactive)

17
Q

Ziprasidone metabolism

A

1/3 metabolized by P450’s:
- 3A4major/1A2 to sulfoxide/sulfone/N-dealkylation
- Inactive
2/3 metabolized by another route
- 1: Aldehyde oxidase mediates a reduction
- 2: S-methylation by?
- Inactive
Cimetidine should cause an interaction, but it doesn’t for some reason.

18
Q

Aripiprazole metabolism

A

2D6/3A4 to Dehydroaripiprazole (active)

- less potent

19
Q

Aripiprazole Lauoxil Brand, ROA, Duration, AND Metabolism

A

Aristada
IM injection
4-6 weeks
Esterase cleaves ester, product undergoes spontaneous ( ) to form active Aripiprazole.

20
Q

Lurasidone metabolism

A

Major: 3A4 to sulfoxide/sulfone metabolites (inactive)
Hydroxylation (active) - contributes significantly
N-dealkylation (inactive)

21
Q

Brexpiprazole metabolism

A

2D6/3A4…. (inactive)

22
Q

Cariprazine metabolism

A

3A4major/2D6 to Desmethyl/Didesmethyl metabolites

  • Both active
  • Equipotent
  • Contribute significantly
23
Q

Pimvanserin metabolism

A

3A4 to N-desmethyl metabolite (active)

24
Q

What is Adasuve

A

Loxapine as an inhalation powder.

25
Q

Clozapine Characteristics

A
Advantages:
- Uniquely effective
- No reported EPS
Toxicities: Make it a 3rd line agent:
- Leukopenia to agranulocytosis (1.3% patients)
- Myocarditis
- Cardiovascular collapse
Decreases seizure threshold
Typical SE's as well: Sedation, antimuscarinic effects (notably constipation), etc.
26
Q

Neutropenia definition

A

Neutrophil count under 1500cells/uL in whites

under 1200 in African/Middle eastern

27
Q

Leukopenia

A

WBC under 4000cells/uL

28
Q

FGA and SGA notable for Neutropenia

A

Haloperidol, Olanzapine, Quetiapine, Risperidone

29
Q

Olanzapine characteristics

A

Similar to Clozapine, but lacks toxicities.
2nd most effect of all antipsychotics.
Weight gain very problematic - Now 3rd line agent.

30
Q

Quetiapine characteristics

A
Sedating
- Can be useful
Low EPS due to active metabolite
Low adrenergic blockade
Moderate weight gain / risk of metabolic syndrome
31
Q

Risperidone characteristics

A

Lack of sedation is attractive
Restlessness/agitation can be a problem though
Dose control to avoid EPS
Also approved for irritability in autism spectrum disorder at age 5 and up.

32
Q

Paliperidone characteristics

A

Hydroxy metabolite of risperidone
Similar profile including restlessness and EPS
Sustained release form leads to once monthly dosing.

33
Q

Ziprasidone and Lurasidone characteristics

A
Low weight gain
Low EPS
Problems with QT elongation
- Less with Lurasidone
Cimetidine interaction with Ziprasidone
34
Q

Iloperidone characteristics

A
Low EPS
Low anti-cholinergic effects
Low weight gain
Low tendency for metabolic syndrome
but
Hypotension is a problem - requires dose titration.
Caution 2D6/3A4 inhibitors.
35
Q

Asenapine characteristics

A

Minimal weight gain and metabolic disturbance.
Extreme sedation from H1-Antagonism.
Off label for PTSD.
Serious hypersensitivity reactions - anaphylaxis alert.
EPS concern due to low M1-Antagonism
