Q

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

A

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.

Q

The typical antipsychotic Pimozide (Orap) is known as a ___ analog.

A. Di-aryl

B. Di-benzyl

C. Di-propyl

D. Di-fluoro

A

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

Q

When looking at the metabolism of Clozapine, the top metabolite is a(n) ___ metabolite and the bottom metabolite is a(n) ___ metabolite.

A. N-Desmethyl, N-Oxide

B. N-Oxide, N-Desmethyl

C. N-Oxide, N-Despropyl

17
Q

If a patient began smoking while on this medication what would you expect to see?

A. Decrease in DMCZ metabolites

B. Increase in DMCZ metabolites

C. Increase in CZNO metabolites

D. No change in metabolite formaiton

A

B. Increase in DMCZ metabolites

The reason for this is because smoke acts as a CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 inducer and will increase the enzyme activity
