Cognitive deficits *
Attention
Memory
Verbal fluency
Executive function
(eg, abstraction)
Disorganization
Speech
Behavior

DSM IV-TR Diagnostic Criteria
2 or more of the following for most of 1 month:
–
–
–
–
–
Delusions
Hallucinations
Disorganized speech
Grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior
Negative symptoms
• Social/occupational dysfunction
• Duration of at least 6 months
• Not schizoaffective disorder or a mood disorder with
psychotic features
• Not due to substance abuse or a general medical
disorder
What, then, is PSYCHOSIS?
• Generally equated with positive symptoms
and disorganized or bizarre speech/behavior
• Impaired “reality testing”
• A syndrome present in many illnesses
– remove known cause or treat underlying illness
– treat symptomatically with antipsychotic
medications
Other Uses for Antipsychotics
• Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder,
delusional disorder
• Off-label use for Tourette’s, autism spectrum
disorders, to augment treatment in depression
and OCD, dementia, aggression in children
• Medical treatment of nausea, hiccups
A bit more terminology…..
….before we blast off.
Many names….
Not all the same thing…..
Antipsychotics
- neuroleptic
- typical and atypical
- first gen, second gen, third gen
- phenothiazine, thioxanthene, butyrophenone
- low, med, and hi potency (1st gens)
- chemical and trade names
- chlorpromazine/thorazine; olanzapine/zyprexa
An Historical Timeline
• The state of affairs prior to the 1950s
- available treatments very ineffective
• Early 1950s experimental use of
chlorpromazine (thorazine)
• Once broadly introduced, institutions
emptied out (* but a couple of caveats)
• First generation (typical) antipsychotics
developed.
• Second generation begins with clozapine (1989)

Efficacy of Typical Antipsychotics
Mechanism of Action:
Dopamine D2 receptor antagonist
Regions affected by D2 blockade
• Mesolimbic (midbrain – limbic) and
mesocortical (midbrain – forebrain) pathways
– Emotional, cognitive regulation and integration
• Nigrostriatal Pathway
– Basal ganglia – movement
• Hypothalamus-pituitary
– Hormones, motivation, regulatory processes
• Brain stem
– Chemoreceptor trigger zone (compazine)
– Descending RAS (reticular activating system)
Dopamine related side effects profile
• Extrapyramidal side effects (EPS)
– Extrapyramidal movement system/basal ganglia
–
–
–
–
Drug induced Parkinson’s (aka “Thorazine shuffle”)
Acute dystonias
Akathesia
Tardive dyskinesia (sensitization, upregulation?)
– Hypothalamic pituitary
– Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (high fever, sweating, unstable
blood pressure, stupor, muscular rigidity, and autonomic
dysfunction). Aggressive medical care needed.
– Heat regulation and susceptibility to heat stroke
– Increased prolactin
– Sexual side effects
Other Mechanism of Action

Anticholinergic effects
•
•
•
•
•
Memory deficits, clouded cognition
Urinary retention, constipation
Dry mouth
Blurred vision
Tachycardia
Limitations of D2 Blockers
•
•
•
•
“The Law of Thirds”
Treatment resistant cases
Lack of improvement of negative symptoms
EPS side effects
Next Gen #1 - Clozapine
• Introduction and withdrawal in 1970s Europe
– Agranulocytosis
• Reintroduction in US
– Works in some (30-60%) of treatment resistant
patients
– Does not produce EPS
– Improve affect, reduce suicidality
– Agranulocyctosis reversible if detected and drug
discontinued (testing protocol – weekly, monthly)
What’s Atypical about Clozapine?
•
•
•
•
NOT a strong D2 blocker (relatively speaking)
Antagonizes other dopamine receptors
Antagonizes 5-HT receptors
Antagonizes histimine, muscarinic Ach,
adrenergic NE

A small sample of Next Gens
• Search to produce clozapine-like drug without
agranulocytosis
• Prototype: Risperidone (Risperdal)
– Dual action – block D2 and 5-HT2 receptors
– Other 5-HT/D2 combos

•
•
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
Sertindole (Serlect)
Quetiapine (Seroquel)
Ziprasidone (Geodon)
Strengths and Weaknesses of 2nd Gens
• Able to dissociate clinical effects from EPS side
effects
– But for some, this is dose dependent
• Able to dissociate clinical effects from
agranylocytosis
– No need for WBC monitoring
• Have become wildly popular. Off label use,
especially in young and old, has expanded.
– Raises serious concerns
Strengths and Weaknesses of 2nd Gens
• Expansion to vulnerable populations REAL
concern.
• Initial promise not entirely fulfilled
– Note CATIE and Cutlass studies reported in text
• Claims for superior efficacy over 1st gens (for increased
tolerability, superior performance with negative
symptoms and in treatment refractory) not entirely
supported.
• Tolerability - similarly lousy compliance rates
• Trade-off in side effects profiles
2nd Gen Side Effects
• Metabolic syndrome
– Weight gain
– Blood sugar dysregulation
• Increase risk of developing type 2 diabetes
• Rapid and independent of weight gain
• Increased risk of cardiac problems
– Stroke risk in dementia patients
– Electrical activity of the heart (sudden cardiac
death)
3rd Gens
• Aripiprazole (Abilify)
– 5-HT2 antagonist
– Partial agonist at D2 and 5-HT1a
• D2 effects at low and high intrinsic dopamine levels
• Antidepressant effects, especially when combined with true
antidepressants
• Amisulpride (Solian)
– D2 and D3 blocker, but selectively in limbic regions
(not basal ganglia)
– Blocks dopamine autoreceptors (increase DA release)
