    Study Notes

    Antipsychotic Drugs Classification

    • Phenothiazines include chlorpromazine and fluphenazine, characterized by the -azine suffix.
    • Structure-Activity Relationships (SAR) for phenothiazines:
      • Distance between two nitrogen atoms should be three carbons.
      • A tertiary amine is essential in the N-side chain for maximum activity.
    • Chlorpromazine features an aliphatic group and belongs to first-generation antipsychotics with low potency and medium metabolic risk.
    • Fluphenazine, also a first-generation antipsychotic, has a piperazine group, high potency, and low metabolic risk.
    • Butyrophenones are represented by haloperidol, a first-generation antipsychotic known for its high potency and low metabolic risk.
    • SAR of butyrophenones:
      • A tertiary amino group is necessary for activity.
      • Modifications to the propyl chain or replacing the keto-moiety decrease potency.
      • The most potent variant contains fluorine in the para position of the benzene ring.
    • Benzazepines include clozapine, olanzapine, quetiapine, and asenapine.
    • Clozapine is a second-generation antipsychotic with low potency and high metabolic risk.
    • Olanzapine features medium potency and high metabolic risk but is notably sedating.
    • Risperidone belongs to the benzisoxazole class, categorized as second-generation, high potency, with medium metabolic risk.
    • Quetiapine, a second-generation drug, has low potency and high metabolic risk.
    • Paliperidone is also a second-generation antipsychotic with high potency and medium metabolic risk.
    • Asenapine is classified as second-generation with medium potency and medium metabolic risk.
    • Benzisothiazole consists of ziprasidone and lurasidone, both second-generation drugs with medium potency and low metabolic risk.
    • Lumateperone is a second-generation antipsychotic with medium potency and low metabolic risk as well.
    • Aripiprazole, a second-generation partial agonist, shows low metabolic risk, functioning primarily as a D2 partial agonist and agonist at 5HT2A and 5HT1A receptors.
    • Brexpiprazole has a similar profile to aripiprazole but features higher affinity for D2 and 5-HT2A and 5HT1A receptors with lower intrinsic activity at D2.
    • Cariprazine, another second-generation partial agonist, prefers the D3 receptor while being a D2 receptor partial agonist.
    • Antipsychotics causing significant QT prolongation: ziprasidone, iloperidone, thorazine, and thioridazine; generally, first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs) have a higher risk than second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs).
    • FGAs are more likely than SGAs to cause:
      • Drug-induced movement disorders
      • Prolactin elevation
      • QTc prolongation
      • Sedation
    • High-potency medications have increased chances of causing movement disorders and hyperprolactinemia.
    • Low-potency medications tend to lead to:
      • Anticholinergic side effects
      • Sedation
      • Hypotension
