Antipsychotics - Linger Flashcards
aripiprazole
atypical antipsychotic
lurasidone
atypical antipsychotic
olanzapine
atypical antipsychotic
quetiapine
atypical antipsychotic
risperidone
atypical antipsychotic
ziprasidone
atypical antipsychotic
clozapine
special use atypical antipsychotic
chlorpromazine
typical low potency antipsychotic
haloperidol
typical high potency antipsychotic
atypical
because dramatic reductionin extrapyramidal side effects
dopamine hypothesis
evidence for:
- antipsychotics - some block D2 receptors postsynaptic
- drugs increase DA - aggravate schizophrenia or trigger psychosis
- DA receptors - more in brain of schizophrenic
- post-mortem - more DA and D2 receptorrs in schizophrenic nucleus accumbens, caudate, putamen
evidence against:
- decreased cortex/hippocampus DA activity - underlie cognitive impairment and negative sx of schizophrenia
- many atypicals - lower affinity for D2 receptors - but effective for schizophrenia tx
dopamine hypothesis - oversimplification
serotonin hypothesis
hallucinogenics - LSD, mescalin
-serotonin receptor agonists
bio basis of schizophrenia
DA, serotonin, glutamate imbalance
glutamate hypothesis
low function NMDA receptors
- on GABA internerous
- induce disinhibition of glutamatergic activity - hyperstimulation
atypical antipsychotics
greater effect at 5-HT2a than D2 receptors
-dissociation of EPS and antipsychotic efficacy
phenothiazine derivative
chlorpromazine
aliphatic
more sedation and weight gain
butyrophenone derivative
haloperidol
high level of EPS
more potent, fewer autonomic effects
- but more EPS
- compared to phenothiazines
cholinergic rebound and withdrawal movement disorders
clozapine
cholinergic rebound
also with chlorpromazine and thioridazine
relapse to schizo after stop taking drug
most - 6 months
except - clozapine - rapid and severe relapse
efficacy of typical antipsychotics
D2 receptor affects
atypical antipsychotics
block 5-HT2A more potently than inhibit D2 receptors
mesolimbic mesocortical pathway
behavior and cognition
VTA - projection to limbic system and neocortex
inhibition of DA activity - antipsychotic effect
nigrostriatal pathway
coordination of movement
substantia nigra to dorsal striatum (caudate/putamen)
inhibit - EPS
tuberoinfundibular system
PRL release
DA inhibits
arcuate nucleus and periventricular neurons
-to hypothalamus and posterior pituitary
pathway inhibited by antipsychotics - PRL release
D1-like
D1 and D5
increase cAMP - activate Gs and adenylyl cyclase
D2-like
D2, D3, and D4
decreased cAMP - Gi - inhibit Ca channels, open K channels
D2 receptors
role in action of antipsychotics
D2 binding affinity
strong correlation with antipsychotic potency and EPS
typical antipsychotics
need 60% occupancy of striatal D2 receptors for antipsychotic
EPS at 80%
atypical antipsychotics
need 30-50% occupancy of striatal D2 receptors for antipsychotic
bc concurrent high occupancy at 5-HT2A receptors
aripiprazole
high D2 occupancy - without EPS
partial agonist at D2
catatonic schizo tx
benzos
reduce risk of suicide in schizoaffective pt
clpzapine
non-psych indications of antipsychotics
antiemetic
neuroleptanesthesia
first line tx of schizophrenia
atypical antipsychotics
-except clozapine and olanzapine
effective drug tx
both positive and negative sx improve
acute control uncoop patient
haloperidol
