Antipsychotics Flashcards

1
Q

DA Hypothesis of schizo

A

Efficacy of pharma corresponds to drugs affinity for dopamine receptors

Drugs that increase dopamine can preceipitate psychotics symtpoms

Unmedicated schizo will have more dopamine receptors and higher levels

From dopamine deficits in HC and select cortical strcutrue

Q

Mesolimbic/mesocortical tract
Nigrostriatal
Tuberoinfundibular
Medullary-periventricular

A

VTA to NA and frontal cortex…pos and neg of schizo

SN to striatal nuclei…extrapyrmaidal motor dysfunction from antipsychotics

Artcutew and periventricular neuros to pituiatyr portal…increased prolactin from anti[sychotics

Motor of vagus,a area postrema, and other BS nuclei…antiemetic effects, changes in eating behavior associated with antipsyhchotics

Q

D1 vs. D2

A

D1 - stimukation of cAMP and PKA dep pathways

D2 like - inhibition

Q

Route of delivery of antiosychotics

A

Oral disintegrating

Short acting injectables (for uncoop or rapid sedation)

Long acting injectables (history of non0-adhenense)

PK of antipsychotics

A

Accumulate in lipid storage and released slowly
Steady state in 4 to 7 days

Long half life
CYP450s

Q

Phenothiazines

A

Chlorpromazine (aliphatic) - oronal
Fluphenazine (piperazine derive)

Least potent of the typicals

Lots of sedation and weight gain

Q

Atypical vs typical

A

Atypical tx both pos and neg
Lower absolute affinity for D2 receptors relative to typical agents
Equal to greater potenc at 5-HT receptors
Fewer extrapyramidal motor symptoms

16
Q

EPS

Akathisia

A

Parkinson like syndrome…tx with anti-muscarinic drugs but NOT L-dopa

Restlessness, pacing, rocking…tx with propranolo

17
Q

Tradive dyskinesia

NMS

A

Usually milt…intolerable TD is usually the limiting factor for antipsychotic therapy

Rigidity, fever, cog changes (neroleptic malignant syndrome)
Begin within first 2 eeeks
Tx with dantrolene

18
Q

All adverse effects of antipsychotics associated with

A

Hypoactiviation of D2 receptors

19
Q

Cardiac toxocity

Weight gain

A

QT prolongation (esp thiroridazine and ziprasionde)

Risk of weight gain more with atypicals like olanzapine and cloazapine

20
Q

Hypotension and high resting HR

Muscarinic effects

A

alphra receptor blockade

mACh receptor blockade (anti-effects)

21
Q

Confusion, attnetion porobs

Sedation

A

mACh blockade in brain

Histamine receptor blockade

22
Q

Amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome and infertility

Blunt affect, lack of pleasure, dysphroia,

Antiemetic

A

In women, hyperlaction and infertility…in men loss of libido and infertiility…due to D2 blockade

DA blockade in nucleus accumbens

DA blockade in area postrema

23
Q

D2 receptor signifiacne

A

Propentisty for alleviating positive symptoms AND causing extrapyrimdal disturbances is proportional to affinity for D2

Drugs in typical class have greater absolute affinty

24
Q

Which is better and why

A

Depends

Atypical - fewer EP side effects but cause weight gain and variable responsiveness

Typical - less expensive

25
Q

Other concenrs of antipsychotics

A

CYP450 problems

Compliance low

Close monnitoring

Drug abuse could exacerbate symtpms

26
Q

Adjunctive therapy

A

Benzos
Lithium
Anticonvulsants
Prpranolo

27
Q

Benzos

lithium

A

alleviate anxiety…side effects

Mood stabilizer

28
Q

Anticonvulsatns

Propranolol

A

alleviate anxiety and stabilize mood..valproate preferred bc of carbamazepine intx)

Tx aggressive behaviors
