insomnias
IV. Drug for bipolar disorder
I. ANTIPSYCHOTIC (AP)
SYNONIMS:
antischizophrenic drug, neuroleptics,
mayor tranquilizer
CLASSIFICATION:
Typical AP : chlorpromazine, fluphenazine
haloperidol, thioridazine
Atypical AP :
clozapine,olanzapine,risperidone
quetiapine, aripriprazol
MECHANISM OF ACTION
- Blocking the D2-receptors > D1
(mesolimbic / mesocortical dep. pathway)
- ! Atypical : clozapine
weak D2 blocker ,potent
antipsychotic
block D4-receptor and 5-HT2
- Varying pattern of selectivity in rec. blocking
effect
- Take several weeks to clinical response even
though their rec. blocking is immediate
- The connection between rec. block. activity to
clin.
response : remains unclear
PHARMACOLOGICAL EFFECTS
Slow response to external stimuli :
- apathy
- reduce initiative
- display few emotion
Th/effect
70% of pts
- tend to drowse off but easily arouse,
30% resistant
and respond to
question
- strongly inhibit aggressive tendencies
- < hallucination & delusion
Antiemetic activity : ~ block. D3 rec.
EFFECT ON RECEPTRS
Vary among different AP
* Chlorpromazine:
1=5-HT2A>D2>D1
* Haloperidol:
D2> 1>5-HT2A>D1>H1
* Clozapine:
D4= 1>5-HT2A>D2=D1
* Olanzapine:
5-HT2A>H1> D4>D2 > 1 >D1
* Aripiprazole:
D2= 5-HT2A>D4> 1=H1>>D1
* Quetiapine :
H1> 1>M1,3>D2>5-HT2A
PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS
In nonpsychotic patients
Sleepiness, restlessness, autonomic
effect unlike sedative-hypnotics and
impaired performance in
psychomotor and psychometric tests
In Psychotic patients: alleviate
psychosis and improve performance
ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHIC
EFFECTS
Shift the pattern of EEG frequencies:
slowing and increasing their
synchronization erroneous
diagnostic interpretation
some lower seizure threshold , but
can be use safely in epileptic
patients with careful dosage titration
Pharmacokinetic
Absorption and Bioavailabily
Chlorpromazine absorption erratic
interindividual variation up to 90 fold ,
bioavailability:
chlorpromazine: 25%
thioridazine 35%,both undergo first pass
metabolism
haloperidol 65%
- relation between plasma conc clin. effect :
highly variable tailored individually!
- long t (15-30 hours) 1 2 dd.
- Depot preparation : heptanoic or decanoic
acid in oil : IM given each 2-4 weeks
overcome compliance problems
DISTRIBUTION
ADE
A. 2 kind of motor disturbance :
1)Acute dystonias & Parkinson-like
symptoms ~ nigrostriatal block D2 rec.,
tremor, rigidity (esp. eck muscle),
akatisia(uncontrollable restlessness)
Th/ anticholiergic drugs: trihexyphenidyl
beperiden ,
diphenhydramine
* Levodopa and dopaminergic agonist
should never be use (why?)
ADE
2)
Tardive diskinesia
- involuntary movement of face
& limbs, appearing months/years after
treatment
Th/ usually unsuccessful
Extrapyramidal ADE are less likely to occur with
atypical AP
clozapine : strong antimusc.
more selective D block in
mesolimbic vs nigrostriatal
B.Cardiovascular adverse
effects
Chlorpromazine, thioridazine:
orthostatic hypotension;mean
arterial pressure, peripheral
resistance and stroke volume <;
H Rate , prolonged QT interval
sertindole, withdrawn from the
market
ziprazidone warning about the risk
C.Endocrine ADE
In women : amenorrhoeagalactorrhea, increase libido and false
positive pregn. Test.
In men: decrease libido, gynecomastia
a part cause by hyperprolactinemia
due to dopaminergic blocking effect
and increase peripheral conversion of
androgens to estrogens(>typical AP)
D. Other ADE
antimuscarinic adverse effects :
! - Alzheimer (memory impairment)
- prostate hypertrophy
- glaucoma,
orthostatic hypotension : associated w alfa
adrenergic blocking effect ~ fall and fracture
in the elderly
weigh gain : > atypical
agranulocytosis : clozapine to be monitored by
blood count
idiosyncratic : antipsychotic malign. syndrome,
rare but dangerous
relation of chemical structure to potency & toxicity
Table 29-1. p 461.Bertram G Katzung 10th ed.
- Indonesian population : as
common with other drug tolerate
AP less than caucasian
- ? poor metabolizer
- ! Start with lower dose
DRUG CHOICE
Based mainly on differences and ADE
In using typical AP knowledge of
chlorpromazine and haloperidol
remains relevant
One should be familiar w 3 subfamily
of phenothiazine,a member of
thioxanthine and butyrophenone
group and all the newer compound
Summary
AP are very useful : for pats & care givers
less hospitalization
Effective in 70% of pts
Atypical : problem with dystonia S.E.
Atypical :
- sign less motor disturbance
- claimed > effective to control neg.
symptoms :* emotional flattening
* social withdrawal and
* lack of motivation
Summary
Atypical :
- > metabolic side effects :
* weight gain
* hyperglycemia
- clozapine : efficacy in treatment
resistant pts.
- not more effective in every patients
- first line drug for those who could
afford the cost
AP are safe in acute overdose compare to
hypnotic-sedatives and tricyclic antidepressant
Question to be answered
1. mention classification of
AP(antipsychotic) and 3 examples of
each class
2. explain the differences of
pharmacodynamic action of each class
3. explain important pharmacokinetic
issue of AP
4. Explain difference in ADE of special
drugs
I. ANTIDEPRESSANT
CLASSIFICATION
A.First Generation Tricyclic AD
Imipramine
Amitriptyline
* Clomipramine
B. Second Generation:
* Amoxapine, Maprotiline, Trazodone,
Bupropion
C. Third Generation:Venlafaxine, Mirtazapine,
Nefazodone & Duloxetine
A. Tricyclic Antidepressant
Mechanism of action
Block the amine transporters (uptake pump)
Block reuptake of NE (NET), 5HT (SERT) (<<
dopamin)
catecholamine: mania;
catecholamine :depression
Not clearly understood why blocking transporter
occurs rapidly but clinical result is delayed for a
few weeks
Maprotyline,structure resembles
desimipramine is a potent NE
reuptake inhibitor, causing
<sedation,antimuscarinic and
CVS side effects .
C. Third Generation of AD
Venlafaxine:
- potent inhibitor of serotonin transporter; &
weak inhibitor of NE transporter;
in low dose= SSRI, high doses (> 225 mg/d)
Mirtazapine
more rapid in action
no more efficacious than
other AD
likely to cause weight gain
substantial sexual side effect
ADE
amitriptyline, imipramine
bupropion
clonazepam, diazepam
fluoxetine, sertraline
zolpidem
Drug Interaction
Fluoxetine
Fluvoxamine
Paroxetine
Sertralin
Mechanism of action
ADE
Indication :
major depression
anxiety disorder
panic attacks
obsessive-compulsive
disorder (OCD)
ADE
Paroxetine:
highest affinity to serotonin
receptors.indirectly result in a net decline
in dopaminergic transmission leading to
extrapyramidal side effects (distonia,
akathisia)
Sexual function(delayed ejaculation and
anorgasmia)
paroxetine>fluoxetine, sertraline>
flufoxamine
- pargiline
- tranylcypromine
- postural hypotension
- atropin like action
- weight gain
- CNS stimulation
acute overdose convulsions
- cheese reaction : severe hypertension
(tyramine containing food > 10 mg)
- hyperpyrexia
hypotension in comb. with pethidine
Pharmacological effects
- reduction of anxiety and aggression
- sedation and induction of deep
- reduction of muscle tonus and coordination
- anticonvulsant effect
ADE
Acute overdosage
- less dangerous, only rarely
- in the present of other CNS depressant
esp. alcohol : severe resp. disorder or
in COPD
! could be counteract by antagonist flumazenil
Common side effect :
- drowsiness
- confusion
- impaired coordination
- amnesia
esp. with long acting drug
Chronic use :
Tolerance : less than barbiturate
Dependence demonstrate by
- symptoms of anxiety
- tremor
after withdrawal
- dizziness
withdrawal symptoms : slower in onset
than
barbiturates
with triazolam : a short acting BDZ
occurred within a few hours :
- early morning insomnia
- daytime anxiety
Addiction : not a mayor problem
Indication
Hypnotic :
- lorazepam
- temazepam short acting
! not for chronic use tolerance
Anxiolytic :
acute anxiety state e.g. panic disord. agoraphobia
choice : alprazolam 2-3 times daily 0.25-0.5 mg
altern. : diazepam 2 times daily 2-5 mg
Other :
- Alprazolam : anxiety in major depressive
disorder
- Clobazam :
claimed to cause less sedation
as
antianxiety drug
