Definition

chlorpromazine

Substituents in the aromatic rings:
chlorpromazine is not symmetric making the molecule not able to freely rotate; the molecule fits perfectly into the DA receptor
promethazine doesn't have the groups and doesn't bind to the dopamine receptor as well.
Cl is electronegative and the N is electropositive; they draw each other together and stabilize the structure (for phenothiazines) the Cl (and other substituents) can only be on the 2 position
substitutions that will be GOOD for activity are electro-negative: CI3, SO2N, SO2C3, Cl
substituents that are BAD for activity: NH2, OH, CH3

side chain:
van der waal's interactions are important; alkyl side chain is active, but an alicyclic side chain increasing the van der waal's interactions and increases activity; CYCLE IS BETTER THAN A CHAIN (BUT NOT AN AROMATIC RING!!)
piperidine is good (only one N in the cycle and no double bonds)
if another N is added to the cycle, it becomes a very GOOD substituent (piperizine ring)
have to have 3 carbons between the tricyclic system and the tertiary amine; the tertiary amine must be in this position (not longer or shorter) to mimic the shape of dopamine
has to be a tertiary amine on the side chain!


phenothiazines vs. thioxanthenes:
phenothiazines: the structure of the molecule is maintained by the interaction between the 2 position substituent and the tertiary amine
thioxanthenes:
[image]
the structure must be the cis isomer which is kept stable by the double bond.
only the cis isomer will have a high affinity for D2 receptors
[image]
thioxanthenes have higher receptor affinity than phenothiazines
Term
pharmacokinetic properties of phenothiazines

Definition

[image]
Definition
[image]

Phase I reactions:
oxidative N-demethylation - once the N is demethylated, it loses activity at D2 but gains affinity for other receptors
aromatic hydroxylation
side chain reactions (N-oxide) - can happen to either N once it is dealkylated
S-oxication
oxidative deamination
N-dealkylation

[image]

tertiary amino group at the fourth carbon; cycle is preferred

variations at the piperidine moiety:
at the 4 position of the ring

keto group
the tertiary amino group (piperidine ring)
para position to the piperidine ring is the ONLY PLACE THERE CAN BE SUBSTITUENTS!

Term
properties of atypical anti-psychotics
Definition
clozapine, olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, aripiprazole, and ziprasidone

affinity for 5HT-2A receptors (D2 receptor antagonism coupled with 5HT-2A receptor antagonism)

D2 occupancy theory: the magnitude of the response is directly proportional to the amount of drug bound, and the maximum response would be elicited once all receptors were occupied at equilibrium

high 5HT-2A receptor affinity does NOT mean it is an atypical anti-psychotic

clozapine "atypicality" may be related to its high affinity for D4 receptors

quetiapine, has no appreciable affinity for D4 receptors

no single theory to date has been able to globally define and/or differentiate the actions of atypical antipsychotics
Term
