Antipsychotic Drug Development: From Historical Evidence to Fresh Perspectives
- Psychology, MedicineFrontiers in Psychiatry
- 2022
Improving the lives of sub-populations of people with schizophrenia that share common biological characteristics and are likely to be responsive to a particular compound may be more achievable than aiming to treat the complexities of schizophrenia as a homogenous disorder.
Regulation of Glutamatergic Activity via Bidirectional Activation of Two Select Receptors as a Novel Approach in Antipsychotic Drug Discovery
- Psychology, MedicineInternational journal of molecular sciences
- 2020
The present review summarizes the results of the latest papers, showing that the simultaneous activation of two receptors with sub-effective doses of their ligands induces similar effects as the highest dose of each compound alone.
Allosteric Modulators of G Protein-Coupled Dopamine and Serotonin Receptors: A New Class of Atypical Antipsychotics
- Psychology, MedicinePharmaceuticals
- 2020
The progresses made in the identification of allosteric drugs for dopamine and serotonin receptors are summarized, which could lead to a new generation of atypical antipsychotics with a better profile, especially in terms of reduced side effects.
Towards Novel Treatments for Schizophrenia: Molecular and Behavioural Signatures of the Psychotropic Agent SEP-363856
- Psychology, BiologyInternational journal of molecular sciences
- 2021
Intermediate-early genes expression was strongly upregulated in the prefrontal cortex and, to a less extent, in the ventral hippocampus, suggesting an activation of these regions, suggesting that modulation of the PFC may represent an important mechanism for the functional and behavioural activity of this novel compound.
Immunoendocrine Peripheral Effects Induced by Atypical Antipsychotics
- Psychology, MedicineFrontiers in Endocrinology
- 2020
This manuscript aims to revise the peripheral immunological, endocrine, and intestinal microbiome changes induced by AAP consumption recommended in the clinical guidelines for schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders.
Chronic treatment with the antipsychotic drug blonanserin modulates the responsiveness to acute stress with anatomical selectivity
- Psychology, BiologyPsychopharmacology
- 2020
Findings show that chronic exposure to blonanserin modulates selective IEGs with a specific anatomical profile, and the differential activation of specific brain regions under challenging conditions may contribute to specific clinical features of the drug.
Anti-stress Properties of Atypical Antipsychotics
- Psychology, MedicinePharmaceuticals
- 2020
Examination of existing clinical and preclinical evidence that supports the ability of atypical antipsychotic drugs (AAPDs) to modulate stress-related alterations discusses stress- related mechanisms, spanning from neuroendocrine function to inflammation and neuronal plasticity, which are relevant for the manifestation of schizophrenic symptomatology.
Clozapine and Constipation: A Review of Clinical Considerations and Treatment Options
- Medicine, PsychologyPsychiatry International
- 2021
Constipation is an often overlooked, common side effect that can limit clozapine’s use and can also be life-threatening, especially when considering the strong anticholinergic effects of clozAPine.
The Effect of Atypical Anti-psychotic Agents on Obesity and Glucose Metabolism
- Medicine, PsychologyJournal of Medicine and Life Science
- 2021
The mechanisms of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia were mainly related obesity, decreased anorexigenic hormones, and increased insulin resistance in multiple organs, and these are frequently reported in Asians.
Atypical Antipsychotics and Metabolic Syndrome: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Differences
- Medicine, PsychologyPharmaceuticals
- 2021
There seems to be a correlation between AAP’s higher clinical efficacy and increase risk of metabolic alterations, and a multidisciplinary approach combining psychoeducation and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is proposed as a first-line strategy to avoid the MetS.
