Haloperidol was developed in the late 1950s by company Janssen, and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1967. (David A. Williams ) …

developed for the quantitative determination of quetiapine fumarate from marketed bulk tablets. The active ingredient of quetiapine fumarate separation achieved with C18 column using the methanol water mobile phase in the ratio of 30:70 (v/v). The active ingredient of the drug content quantify with UV detector at 359 nm. The retention time of quetiapine fumarate is 5.27 min. A good linearity relation (r2=0.999) was obtained between drug concentration and average peak areas. The limit of…

An atypical antipsychotic that is used for the treatment of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder that will be discussed is quetiapine (trade name Seroquel). Clinical trials studying the mechanism which quetiapine acts on iontropic glutamate receptors in comparison to haloperidol a convention antipsychotic and clozapine which is also an atypical antipsychotic show significant differences in their effects on NMDA, glutamatergic, and AMPA receptors elucidating possible…

Bauer and his colleagues suggest two approaches for treating patient with Bipolar Disorder. First approach was regarding how to treat patient with Bipolar Disorder who are newly diagnosed. They suggested that the use of medications like quetiapine or olanzapine, with carbamazepine and lamotrigine as alternatives to Lithium, would be beneficial. (Bauer et al., 2012).

There are two types of categories that divide antipsychotic medications. The first generation is typical, that blocks dopamine from having contact with the brain. The second generation is atypical, that also blocks dopamine from the brain while affecting serotonin levels. Blocked dopamine helps with psychosis that reduces delusions or voices being heard.

“The atypical antipsychotics with their proven efficacy against manic symptoms are emerging as candidates for use against the depressive phase of bipolar disorder” (Keck, 2005, p. 34). Antipsychotics are generally used for treatment of mania either alone or in a combination with mood stabilizers (Yatham, 2003). Risperidone, olanzapine and quetiapine have been examined in double blind, placebo-controlled trials for their efficacy in acute mania in monotherapy as well as in combination with mood…

and pleasure centers and serotonin is the brain chemical crucial to mood and motivation. This means that Abilify affect dopamine and serotonin concentrations in the brain by mimicking these molecules. Aripiprazole (Abilify) will reduce dopamine activity in dopaminergic and serotonergic systems where neurotransmitter levels are high, and where levels are low, it will function as an agonist (Croxtall, 162). In addition to abilify, another anti-psychotic drug is Quetiapine also known as Seroquel.…
