Chlorpromazine MOA and type
Conventional antipyschotic

MOA: Low potency
D2 antagonist (also D3,D4) → depolarization blockade after several weeks (DA neurons become depolarized, voltage-gated Na channels deactivated) → dopaminergic transmission in nucleus accumbens
haloperidol MOA and type
Conventional antipsychotic

MOA: High potency
D2 antagonist → depolarization blockade after several weeks (DA neurons become depolarized, voltage-gated Na channels deactivated) → dopaminergic transmission in nucleus accumbens
fluphenazine MOa & type
High potency
D2 antagonist → depolarization blockade after several weeks (DA neurons become depolarized, voltage-gated Na channels deactivated) → dopaminergic transmission in nucleus accumbens
perphenazine MOA & type
Mid potency
D2 antagonist → depolarization blockade after several weeks (DA neurons become depolarized, voltage-gated Na channels deactivated) → dopaminergic transmission in nucleus accumbens
Clozapine Type & MOA
atypical

* Serotonin dopamine antagonists (Block 5HT2A and D2 receptors)
* D2 antagonists with rapid dissociation

Less D2 blocking Binds D4, muscarinic, H1, & α1 receptors
Tightly binds 5HT-2 A&C receptors & α2 receptors
olanzapine type and MOA
Low affinity for D2 receptors

High affinity for 5HT-2, muscarinic, H1, & α1 receptors
risperidone type & moa
Relatively high D2 binding for an atypical antipsychotic (risk of extrapyramidal effects)
High 5HT-2 & α2 binding
Moderate H1 binding
No muscarinic binding
quetiapine type & moa
Main effects due to D2 & 5HT-2 antagonism
Side effects due to H1 antagonism (sedation) & α1 antagonism (orthostatic hypotension)
No muscarinic binding
ziprasidone type & moa
Main effects due to D2 & 5HT-2 antagonism
Side effects due to H1 antagonism (sedation) & α1 antagonism (orthostatic hypotension)
No muscarinic binding
What is the order (from worst to best) of atypicals causing metabolic syndrome
Clozapine>olanzapine>quetiapine> risperidone>ziprazidone>Aripiprazole
aripiprazole type & MOA
atypical (sometimes called 3rd generation)

MOA:
Partial agonist at dopamine D2 receptor and at the 5-HT1A receptor

Antagonist at 5-HT2A receptors

Theoretically better able to modulate dopamine based on ambient dopamine tone
What is odd about clozapine?
Despite being a weak D2 receptor antagonist its MOST EFFECTIVE of ALL antipsychotics!

Drug of choice for tx resistant schizophreniacs
Which atypical is most similar to typcial antipsychotics?
Risperidone

At therapeutic doses occupies close to 100% of the 5HT2 receptors but only 65 - 70% of D2 receptors

--> higher risk of extrapyramidal effects
What should you watch out for if administering Clozapine??
AGRANULOCYTOSIS!!!

*must be on REGISTRY & NEEDS CONSTANT MONITORING

*most often occurs in first 6 months of tx

* can kill...

Check CBC: weekly x 6mo, biweekly x 6 mo, then q4wks

Contraindications: WBC< 3500, hx bone marrow disorder, or hx of clozapine-induced agranulocytosis
Should you give antipyschotics to the elderly?
No!!!

2008 FDA warning: increased mortality with typical and atypical antipsychotic use in elderly patients treated for dementia-related psychosis
What tx do you typically start with for antipyschotics? atypical or typical?
Usually start w/ atypical but beward of metabolic syndromes and risk factors
What were results of CATIE?
ATYPICAL – 1st line, CLOZAPINE --> 2nd line

CLOZAPINE & OLANZAPINE have an edge in effectiveness but are MUCH more likely to induce metabolic syndrome
What is the idea behind glutamate modulating agents?
PCP blocks NMDA receptor and induces schizophrenia, ergo thought is low glutamate is causing schizo

Ergo, drug that activates Glutamate receptors could halt effects of schizo

*Enhance NMDA receptor
*Increase glutamate release

a specific agonist of the so-called group II metabotropic glutamate receptors, mGlurR2 and mGluR3, was found to be effective in a small study of schizophrenic patients.
What drug is used for aggression & irratibility in children?
Risperidone
Benzodiazepine contraindication
OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA!
Barbituate contraindication?
Family hx of acute intermittent porphyria
What type of drug is butalbital?
Intermediate acting barbituate
What type of drug is phenobarbital?
Long acting barbituate
What type of drug thiopental?
short acting barbituate
If a barbituate has high lipid solubility, will it be short or long acting?
Short acting!
What is ramelteon?
Hypnotic that works at the melatonin receptor
What is flumazenil?
Antagonist at benzo receptor

Short half life
What is zolpidem?
Non-benzo GABA-A receptor agonist
Selective for certain GABA-A heteromers

Selective for alpha 1 --> sedation!
What are therapeutic indications for Temazepam?
Insomnia
Off-label:
Anxiety

(its a benzodiazepne)
