Writing prescription is easy, understanding people is hard
Franz Kafka, (1883-1924)
 History
 Introduction
 Different hypothesis for schizophrenia
 Classification
 Mechanism of action
 Uses
 Adverse effects
 Recent advances
 1931 Sen and Bose – publish therapeutic effect of
reserpine in Hypertension and Insanity
 Hans Laborit – note the antipsychotic effect of
chlorpromazine, which was being tried as
preanesthetic medication
 1950 - Jean Delay and Piere Deniker conducted
trial
 1960-1970: identification of D2 blockade as the
key mechanism, development of these first-
generation of antipsychotic agents
 Janssen introduced Haloperidol & Pimozide
 Neuroleptics/ Major tranquillisers/ Dopamine
antagonist
 Psychoses and Neuroses
 Psychotic disorders – Schizophrenia, severe forms of
depression and mania
Positive symptoms: the presence of inappropriate
behaviors
Delusions
Hallucinations
Disorganized talking
Movements
Negative symptoms: the absence of appropriate behaviors
Flat affect
Anhedonia
Catatonia
 Excessive dopaminergic activity:
• Drugs which increase dopamine activity
• Postmortem – receptor density high in nucleus
accumbens, caudate, putamen
• Imaging studies – amphetamine – high
dopamine in striated areas
 Diminished dopaminergic activity
• Cortical/hippocampal – cognitive and negative
• Postmortem – cortical, limbic, nigral, striatal
 5HT2A and 5HT2C – hallucination
 5HT2A- depolarization of glutamate receptors
stabilization of NMDA
 5HT 2C- inhibition of cortical dopamine release
 5HT1C- anxiolytic effect, exert procognitive effects in
schizophrenia
 Hypofunctioning of NMDA receptors located on
GABAergic interneurons, leading to diminished
inhibitory influence on neuron function
 GABA ergic activity  induce disinhibiton of
downstream glutamate activity
hyperstimulation of cortical neuron through non
NMDA receptor
 NMDA requires glycine
 In schizophrenia, glycine site is not fully occupied

SCHIZOPHRENIA
 Typical/ FGA – D2 antagonist
 Initially – increased synthesis of DA – later
decreases
 HVA and DOPAC level in blood & urine
 Molindone, loxapine, sulpiride and amisulpiride
 In between typical and atypical antipsychotics
 Most of the antipsychotics are given orally but
incompletely absorbed.
 Significant first-pass metabolism.
 Bioavailability is 25-65%.
 Most are highly lipid soluble.
 Most are highly protein bound (92-98%).
 High volumes of distribution (>20 L/Kg).
 Plasma half life
• Quetiapine – 7h
• Clozapine – 12h
• Fluphenazine- 20h (depot – 14.3days)
• Haloperidol – 24-48h (depot – 21days)
• Olanzapine – 33h
 Depot preparation – 2-4 weeks
 Measurable plasma concentration with I.M route
is seen within 15-30min
Most antipsychotics are almost completely
metabolized- phase 1 and subsequent phase 2
Exceptions are asenapine(phase 2),
ziprasidone(aldehyde oxidase system) and
paliperidone(oxidized metabolite)
Most metabolites- inactive.
Chlorpromazine – 160 metabolites, 70 have been
identified.
 Psychiatric indication:
• Schizophrenia – advantage V/s disadvantage
• First psychotic episode – start with atypical
• Olanzapine (10mg), risperidone (4mg), quetiapine (25mg)
• 2 weeks later increase the dose
• Previously treated with typical – continue
• Long acting depot preparations – haloperidol,
fluphenazine
• Rapid tranquillizers – lorazepam – 1-2mg i.v
• Haloperidol – 2-10mg i.m

thermoregulation
Mechanism Therapeutic
effects
Adverse effects
α1 block -- Dizziness, orthostatic
hypotension, reflex
tachycardia.
D2 block +ve symptom ↓ EPS & ↑ Prolactin
D1 & D4
block
-ve symptom &
EPS ↓
--
H1 block Sedation Drowsiness & ↑ appetite
& weight
M block -- Dry mouth, etc.
5-HT2
block
-ve symptom &
EPS ↓
Anxiety & insomnia
 Thioridazine: ventricular arrythmias, cardiac
conduction block, sudden death

Drug Effects
Antacids Decrease absorption of antipsychotics
Anticholinergics Increased anticholinergic effect
Alcohol More sedation
Antithyroid drugs Agranulocytosis

Levodopa Decrease efficacy
Oral contraceptives Hyperprolactinemia
Cigarette smoking Increased metabolism
 Aspirin
 Minocycline
 Raloxifene
 Estrogen
 N-acetyl cysteine
Raloxifene  Exhibit agonistic and protective
action on the brain by modulating the
monoaminergic neurotransmission of dopamine,
serotonin and GABA
Addition of Raloxifene (60 mg/day) to regular
antipsychotic treatment ↓ negative, positive &
general psychopathological symptoms in
comparison with women receiving antipsychotic
medication alone (Usall et al., 2011)
*Short term  Rapid membrane effects by altering
functional activity in the dopaminergic synapse (Di
Paolo, 1994)
*Long term  Modifies synthesis in dopamine receptors
(Di Paolo, 1994)
*Estrogen alters serotonergic system (Moses et al., 2000)
*Estrogen promotes neuronal regeneration & blocks
mechanisms of neuronal death (DonCarlos et al., 2009)
Glutathione is a major antioxidant that protects
cells against oxidative stress (Meister and
Anderson, 1983)
Glutathione potentiates NMDA receptors (Choi
and Lipton, 2000)
* Targeted gene therapy  Dysbindin, Neurogelin 1,
COMT, DISC1
* Enhancement of BDNF
* Targets  GSK 3, PKC , GABAA receptor
* PDE inhibitors (particularly at PDE1B)
*Cannabinoid receptor antagonist
*Currently glycine transport inhibitors are in trials
*Preliminary study with LY2140023 (agonist at
glutamate receptor) is also been tried

  • 19. Most antipsychotics are almost completely metabolized- phase 1 and subsequent phase 2 Exceptions are asenapine(phase 2), ziprasidone(aldehyde oxidase system) and paliperidone(oxidized metabolite) Most metabolites- inactive. Chlorpromazine – 160 metabolites, 70 have been identified.
  • 20.  Psychiatric indication: • Schizophrenia – advantage V/s disadvantage • First psychotic episode – start with atypical • Olanzapine (10mg), risperidone (4mg), quetiapine (25mg) • 2 weeks later increase the dose • Previously treated with typical – continue • Long acting depot preparations – haloperidol, fluphenazine • Rapid tranquillizers – lorazepam – 1-2mg i.v • Haloperidol – 2-10mg i.m Drug Dose Maximum Chlorpromazine 25-100mg TDS 1g/day Thioridazine 50-100mg TDS 800mg/day Fluphenazine 1-3mg TDS 20mg/day Trifluoperazine 2-5mg BD 40mg/day Flupenthixol 3-9mg TDS 18mg/day Zuclopenthixol 20-50 mg daily 200mg I.M depot Haloperidol 0.5-5mg TDS 60mg /day Penfluridol 20-60mg once a week 250mg once a week Pimozide 2-4mg /day 12mg/day Loxapine 10-25mg BD 75mg/day Drug Dose Maximum dose Sulpiride 400-800mg Amisulpride 200-400mg/day 1g/day Levosulpride 200-300mg/day Aripiprazole 10-15mg/day 30mg/day Clozapine 12.5mg OD/BD 300mg/day Olanzapine 5-10mg/day 20mg/day Risperidone 1mg BD 3mg BD Paliperidone 6mg/day 12mg/day Ziprasidone 20mg BD 80mg BD Quetiapine 25mg BD 300mg BD
  • 21. • Drug induced psychoses –LSD , amphetamine • Schizo-affective disorder – schizo part – antipsychotic, affective part – anti depressant or lithium  Neuro psychiatric indication • Tourette’s syndrome – haloperidol or pimozide • Huntington’s disease – haloperidol or chlorpromazine  Non psychiatric indication: • Antiemetic – D2 block at CTZ,GIT – prochlorperazine, domperidone • Preanaesthetic medication - promethazine • Intractable hiccups – parenteral haloperidol, CPZ
