Term
antipsychotics stats
Definition
-only 20% have their symptoms stopped
-2/3 gain some relief
-the rest are unresponsive
Term
antipsychotics
Definition
-DIVERSE group
-tx of symptoms
-typicals and atypicals
Term
typicals
Definition
-treat positive symptoms
-primary action is D2 receptor block (70-80%)
-blockade of D2 receptors in mesolimbic pathway to treat symptoms, blockade in other pathways causes SE
Term
atypicals
Definition
-TREAT POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SYMPTOMS
-1st line
-lower affinity for D2 receptor (40-60% block)
-block 5-HT2A receptors (70-90%)
-heterogenous group
Term
antipsychoitcs used to treat
Definition
-schizo
-bipolar affective disorder
-control agitation or psychosis in severely depressed
-nausea
Term
adverse effects of antipsychotics on movement (EPS)
Definition
-parkinsonism
-dystonia
-akathisia
-acute and tardive dyskinesia
Term
parkinsonism
Definition
-akinesia
-rigidity
-tremor
Term
dysotnia
Definition
-involuntary sustained muscle contractions
-twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures
Term
akathisia
Definition
restlessness
Term
acute and tardive dyskinesia
Definition
-impairment of voluntary movement
-mouth, lips, tongue, (rabbit like movements)
-neck, chest, trunk
Term
antipsychoitc effect on DA neurons?
Definition
Term
tardive dyskinesia
Definition
-late onset unlike other antipsychotic induced movement disorders
-random movements of tongue lips jaw face arms swaying of trunk or hips
-due to prolonged exposure to D2 antagonists
-results in UPREGULATION OF D2 receptors in nigrostriatal pathway
-"dopamine hypersensitivity"?
Term
more adverse SE of antipsychotics
Definition
-DUE to D2 blockade
-neuroleptic malignant syndrome
-hyperprolactinemia
Term
neuroleptic malignant syndrome
Definition
-unpredictable, develops rapidly
-low incidence but high mortality
-extreme rigidity
-fever over 104
-autonomic disturbances
-muscle destruction
Term
why hyperprolactinemia
Definition
-causes swollen breasts and milk production (men and women)
-antipsychotics also block release of FSH and LH (no menstruation or ovulation in women)
-pseudopregnancy
Term
summary nigrostriatal
Definition
-D2 blockade leads to movement disorders
-5-HT2A blockade inc DA
Term
primary site of action typical
Definition
-nigrostriatal and mesolimbic
Term
primary site of action of atypical
Definition
mesolimbic and mesocortical
Term
summary mesolimbic
Definition
-high DA in schizo
-D2 blockade relieves positive symptoms
-5HT2A blockade does not inc DA significantly, relief of positive symptoms
Term
summary mesocortical
Definition
-low DA in schizo
-D2 blockade worsens negative symptoms and cognition
-5HT2A blockade inc DA and improves negative symptoms
Term
summary tuberoinfundibular
Definition
-normally DA inhibits prolaction
-D2 blockade leads to hyperprolactinemia, sexual dysfunction, dysmenorrhea
-5HT2a blockade does not inc DA significantly (may still get with atypicals)
Term
even more adverse SE of antipsychotics
Definition
-not due to D2 blockade
-WEIGHT GAIN AND METABOLIC SE
-sedation
-orthostatic hypotension
-anticholinergic SE
-seizures
-jaundice
-dermatitis
-photosensitivity
Term
other receptors antipsychotics bind
Definition
-responsible for SE
-do not know if blockade of these receptors contributes to alleviation of symptoms
-muscarinic
-alpha adrenergic receptors
-H2 histamine receptors
Term
binding to muscarinic receptors causes
Definition
-dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention , constipation
Term
binding to alpha adrenergic receptors
Definition
-orthostatic hypotension
Term
binding to H2 histamine receptors causes
Definition
sedation
Term
PK of antipsychotics
Definition
-long clinical duration, need to be careful why?
-most highly lipid soluble
-F is 25-65%
-highly protein bound (92-98%)
-high Vd (greater than 7 L/kg)
-multiple metabolic pathways
-slow elimination (10-20hrs)
Term
smoking induces
Definition
CYP1A2
Term
multiple metabolic pathways
Definition
-sulfoxidation, N-dealkylation, hydroxylation, glucuronidation
-typicals are most commonly metabolized by CYP2D6
-metabolites are often active (Paliperdone is active metabolite of risperidone)
Term
careful when giving CYP inducers and inhibitors and
Definition
smoking why?
Term
antipsychotic drug interactions
Definition
-addictive effects with:
-SSRIs (inc EPS)
-sedatives
-anticholinergics
-antihistamines
-alpha-AR blocking drugs
-drugs with quinidine-like action (thioridazine and ziprasidone)
-antiarrhythimic drug blocks NA channels and PROLONGS QT interval
Term
typical antipsychotics
Definition
-(phenothiazines)
-aliphatic
-piperidine
-piperazine
Term
atypical antipsychotics
Definition
-thioxanthenes (thiothixene)
-butyrophenones (HALOPERIDOL)
-heterocyclics (OLANZAPINE, QUETIAPINE, RISPERIDONE)
Term
chemistry of antipsychotics
Definition
-differeing structures but all can adapt to a conformation similar to DA
Term
why do antipsychotics bind to other receptors?
Definition
they are GPCRs
