A. Stelazine has higher D2 receptor affinity but Chlorpromazine has higher incidence of EPS.
B. Chlorpromazine has higher D2 receptor affinity but Stelazine has higher incidence of EPS
C. Both medications have the same D2 receptor affinity but Trifluoperazine has a higher incidence of EPS
D. Stelazine has higher D2 receptor affinity and a higher incidence of of EPS.

The following medications Fluphenazine and Perphenazine feature (n) groups that were added on to the medications and give them an enanthate and decanoate formulation. What is the advantage of this? (Select All)
A. Stronger D2 antagonism
B. Makes them longer-acting antipsychotics
C. Makes them short-acting antipsychotics for acute emergencies
D. Possibly improves patient compliance with less frequent dosing
E. Allows the medication to form numerous active metabolites that each have a longer half-life
B. Makes them longer acting antipsychotics
D. Possibly improves patient compliance with less frequent dosing
The n groups are carbon chains that can be 5 carbons long (enanthate) or 8 carbons long (decanoate) and this contributes to longer durations of action.

C. Fluorobutyrophenone
Fluoro-Fluorine
Butyro-Butyl (4 carbons)
Phenone- Phenyl group + Ketone
FluoroButyroPhenone
In the FGA Chlorpromazine what is the name of the functional group that circled?
A. Phenothiazine
B. Benzylthiazole
C. Dibenzylheptene
D. Dibenzylchloranthate
A. Phenothiazine
Pheno-Phenyl groups (2)
Thi- Thiol=sulfur
Azine- Azole=nitrogen
PhenoThiAzine
Haldol has a K.I value of 1.0. As a result it will have ___ D2 receptor binidng affinty and ___ EPS side effects.
A. Low, High
B. High, Low
C. Low, Low
D. High, High
D. High, High
Haldol forms 3 different metabolites. The one highlighted in the picture provided is known as a(n) ___.
A. Pyrazine
B. Tertiary Pyradine
C. Quaternary Pyridinium
D. Dibenzylnitrate
C. Quaternary Pyridinium
The nitrogen has a charge now and is known as a quaternay structure.
What is the issue with the Quaternary pyridinium metabolite that is generated from Haloperidol (Haldol)?
A. Hepatotoxic to liver cells
B. Neurotoxic to dopaminergic cells
C. Nephrotoxic to kidney cells
D. Cardiotoxic to heart cells
B. Neurotoxic to dopaminergic cells
With constant exposer it can cause Tardive Dyskinesia
Which of the following statments is true regarding Droperidol (Dridol, Inapsine)?
A. Ultra-Long acting typical antipsychotic
B. Intermediate acting antipsychotic
C. Short-Acting Antipsychotic
D. Virtually no DDIs
C. Short-acting Antipsychotic
The typical antipsychotic Pimozide (Orap) is known as a ___ analog.
A. Di-aryl
B. Di-benzyl
C. Di-propyl
D. Di-fluoro
A. Di-aryl
It contains two phenyl groups that are also known as “Aromatic” so that is why it is called Di-Aryl
It is also one of the LAIs since it stays in the brain longer
In the general SAR for typical antipsychotics what can the “W” group consist of? (Select All)
A. F

A. Heterocyclic
B. Aromatic
C. A 7 membered ring
D. An 8 membered ring
A. Heterocyclic
In the SAR of typical antipsychotics the “Y” group can consist of: (Select All)
