We have the same goal: To help improve your patients’ health outcomes by identifying and addressing open care opportunities. Like you, we want your patients, who are UnitedHealthcare plan members, to be as healthy as possible. And a big part of that is making sure they get the preventive care and chronic care management they need. To help identify care opportunities, our PATH program gives you information specific to UnitedHealthcare members who are due or overdue for specific services. This reference guide can help you better understand the specifications for many of the quality measurement programs and tools used to address care opportunities, as well as how to report data and what billing codes to use.

    Pharmacologyonline 2: 252-260 (2006) Colovic et al. THE 1-(2,3-DICHLOROPHENYL)-PIPERAZINE-TO-ARIPIPRAZOLE RATIO AT STEADY STATE IN RATS AND SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENTS Milena Colovica, Giuseppe Campianib, Stefania Butinib, Alberto Parabiaghia and Silvio Cacciaa aIstituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche “Mario Negri”, Milan, Italy bDipartimento Farmaco Chimico Tecnologico and European Research Centre for Drug Discovery and Development, Universita` di Siena, Siena, Italy Summary Aripiprazole metabolism includes N-dealkylation to 1-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-piperazine which was present as a minor metabolite in serum of eight schizophrenic outpatients taking 5-15 mg/day. As phenylpiperazines concentrate in the brain, causing serotonin receptor-related effects, the authors examined the compounds’ concentrations in brain of rats given 10 mg/kg aripiprazole dihydrochloride orally, approximately every half-life for five half-lives, and evaluated the metabolite-to-parent drug ratio at steady state. The metabolite had higher brain uptake (about 26) than aripiprazole (about 5) and therefore the metabolite-to-parent drug ratio was higher in brain (0.43 ± 0.07, on molar basis) than in blood (0.08 ± 0.01). However, assuming that the compounds concentrate in human brain to the same extent as in the rat, one can conclude that at the site of action the metabolite represents only about 6% of aripiprazole. It is therefore conceivable that the metabolite contributes to the central effects of aripiprazole for rats, but this is unlikely for patients taking therapeutic doses. Key Words: Aripiprazole; 1-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-piperazine; brain-to-blood distribution; metabolite-to-parent drug ratio With a pharmacological profile that differs from currently marketed antipsychotics for the treatment of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders, aripiprazole is a first-in-class drug.

It should be stable for at least two years. Eltoprazine (hydrochloride) is supplied as a crystalline solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the eltoprazine (hydrochloride) in the solvent of choice. Eltoprazine (hydrochloride) is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide, which should be purged with an inert gas. The solubility of eltoprazine (hydrochloride) in these solvents is approximately 25, 20, and 30 mg/ml, respectively. Further dilutions of the stock solution into aqueous buffers or isotonic saline should be made prior to performing biological experiments. Ensure that the residual amount of organic solvent is insignificant, since organic solvents may have physiological effects at low concentrations. Organic solvent-free aqueous solutions of eltoprazine (hydrochloride) can be prepared by directly dissolving the crystalline solid in aqueous buffers. The solubility of eltoprazine (hydrochloride) in PBS, pH 7.2, is approximately 1 mg/ml. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day. Description Eltoprazine is a phenylpiperazine compound that acts as a partial agonist at serotonin 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, and 1 5-HT2B receptors (Kis = 40, 52, and 81 nM, respectively).

The binding for a number of these receptor subtype selective compounds was found to be consistent with their ability to bind at the D3 dopamine receptor subtype in a bitopic manner. In this study, a series of the 3-thiophenephenyl and 4-thiazolylphenyl fluoride substituted N-phenylpiperazine analogs were evaluated. Compound 6a was found to bind at the human D3 receptor with nanomolar affinity with substantial D3 vs. D2 binding selectivity (approximately 500-fold). Compound 6a was also tested for activity in two in-vivo assays: (1) a hallucinogenic-dependent head twitch response inhibition assay using DBA/2J mice and (2) an Citation: Lee, B.; Taylor, M.; Griffin, L-dopa-dependent abnormal involuntary movement (AIM) inhibition assay using unilateral 6- S.A.; McInnis, T.; Sumien, N.; Mach, 6a R.H.; Luedtke, R.R.

Because of these putative therapeutic applications, D3 receptor ligands with diverse intrinsic activities have been an active field of research in recent years. Separation of purely D3-mediated drug effects from effects produced by interactions with similar biogenic amine receptors allows to verify the therapeutic impact of D3 receptors and to reduce possible side-effects caused by “promiscuous” receptor interactions. The requirement to gain control of receptor selectivity and in particular subtype selectivity has been a challenging task in rational drug discovery for quite a few years. In this review, recently developed structural classes of D3 ligands are discussed, which cover a broad spectrum of intrinsic activities and show interesting selectivities. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

No Recreational drug with euphoriant and stimulant properties. The effects produced by BZP are comparable to those produced by amphetamine. It is often claimed that BZP was originally Benzylpiperazine BZP 1 A Yes A A synthesized as a potential antihelminthic (anti-parasitic) agent for use in farm animals.

The pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole deriva- tives 27-29 have been synthesized in the reactions of Schiff base 2 with selected compounds containing active methylene group: acetylacetone, benzoylacetone and malononitrile. The structures 1-29 were confirmed by the results of elementary analysis and their IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra. The products 1-29 are of interest for bio- logical studies and can be substrates for further synthesis. All compounds were screened against the cells of MV4-11 human leukemia and then the most active of them 5, 7, 9-16, 24-26, 28, 29 were tested towards human T47D breast and A549 lung cancer cells as well as normal mouse fibroblasts (BALB/3T3). The most active compound against the cancer cell lines was 4-amino-3-cyano-2-(4-hydroxyphenylene)-1,2-dihydropyrimi- µ do[1,2-a]benzimidazole (29) (IC50 0.23 ± 0.05 g/mL against MV4-11 cells) showing in parallel very low cyto- toxicity towards mouse fibroblasts.
