(verify) Haloperidol /hæloʊpɛridɒl/ (INN, BAN, USAN, AAN; most common brand names: Haldol, Serenace) is an antipsychotic medication used in the treatment of schizophrenia, acute psychosis, mania, delirium, tics in Tourette syndrome, choreas, nausea and vomiting in palliative care, intractable hiccups, agitation and severe anxiety. Haloperidol is a butyrophenone derivative and functions as an inverse agonist of dopamine. It is classified as a typical antipsychotic and has pharmacological effects similar to the phenothiazines. A long-acting decanoate ester of haloperidol is used as an injection given every four weeks to people with schizophrenia or related illnesses who have poor adherence to medication regimens (most commonly due to them forgetting to take their medication, or due to poor insight into their illness) and suffer frequent relapses of illness, or to overcome the drawbacks inherent to its orally administered counterpart. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system. Medical uses Haloperidol is used in the control of the symptoms of: •• Schizophrenia • Acute psychosis, such as drug-induced psychosis caused by LSD, psilocybin, amphetamines, ketamine, and phencyclidine, and psychosis associated with high fever or metabolic disease • Hyperactivity, aggression • Hyperactive delirium (to control the agitation component of delirium) •• Otherwise uncontrollable, severe behavioral disorders in children and adolescents • Agitation and confusion associated with cerebral sclerosis •• Adjunctive treatment of alcohol and opioid withdrawal • Treatment of severe nausea and emesis in postoperative and palliative care, especially for palliating adverse effects of radiation therapy and chemotherapy in oncology • Treatment of neurological disorders, such as tic disorders, Tourette syndrome, and chorea • Therapeutic trial in personality disorders, such as borderline personality disorder • Treatment of intractable hiccups •• Also used in aquaculture to block dopamine receptors to enable GnrHA function for ovulation use in spawning fish •• Alcohol-induced psychosis Haloperidol was considered indispensable for treating psychiatric emergency situations, although the newer atypical drugs have gained greater role in a number of situations as outlined in a series of consensus reviews published between 2001 and 2005. It is enrolled in the World Health Organization list of Essential Medicines. A multiple-year study suggested this drug and other neuroleptic antipsychotic drugs commonly given to Alzheimer's patients with mild behavioural problems often make their condition worse that its withdrawal was even beneficial for some cognitive and functional measures. Haloperidol 3 Pregnancy and lactation Data from animal experiments indicate haloperidol is not teratogenic, but is embryotoxic in high doses. In humans, no controlled studies exist. Unconfirmed studies in pregnant women revealed possible damage to the fetus, although most of the women were exposed to multiple drugs during pregnancy. In addition, there have been reports that neonates exposed to antipsychotic drugs are at risk for extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms following delivery such as agitation, hypertonia, hypotonia, tremor, somnolence, respiratory distress, and feeding disorder. Following accepted general principles, haloperidol should be given during pregnancy only if the benefit to the mother clearly outweighs the potential fetal risk. Haloperidol, when given to lactating women, is found in significant amounts in their milk. Breastfed children sometimes show extrapyramidal symptoms. If the use of haloperidol during lactation seems indicated, the benefit for the mother should clearly outweigh the risk for the child, or breastfeeding should be stopped.Wikipedia:Citation needed Other considerations During long-term treatment of chronic psychiatric disorders, the daily dose should be reduced to the lowest level needed for maintenance of remission. Sometimes, it may be indicated to terminate haloperidol treatment gradually. In addition, during long-term use, routine monitoring including measurement of BMI, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, and lipids, is recommended due to the risk of side-effects. Other forms of therapy (psychotherapy, occupational therapy/ergotherapy, or social rehabilitation) should be instituted properly.Wikipedia:Citation needed PET imaging studies have suggested low doses are preferable. Clinical response was associated with at least 65% occupancy of D2 receptors, while greater than 72% was likely to cause hyperprolactinaemia and over 78% associated with Skeletal formula of haloperidol decanoate: The decanoate group is highlighted in blue. extrapyramidal side effects. Doses of haloperidol greater than 5 mg increased the risk of side effects without improving efficacy. Patients responded with doses under even 2 mg in first episode psychosis. For maintenance treatment of schizophrenia, an international consensus conference recommended a reduction dosage by about 20% every 6 months until a minimal maintenance dose is established. • Depot forms are also available; these are injected deeply IM at regular intervals. The depot forms are not suitable for initial treatment, but are suitable for patients who have demonstrated inconsistency with oral dosages.Wikipedia:Citation needed The decanoate ester of haloperidol (haloperidol decanoate, trade names Haldol decanoate, Halomonth, Neoperidole) has a much longer duration of action, so is often used in people known to be noncompliant with oral medication. A dose is given by intramuscular injection once every two to four weeks.[14] The IUPAC name of haloperidol decanoate is 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-1[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutyl]-4 piperidinyl decanoate. Topical formulations of haloperidol should not be used as treatment for nausea because research does not indicate that this therapy is more effective than alternatives.[15] Haloperidol 4 Adverse effects Sources for the following lists of adverse effects[16][17][18][19] Common (>1% incidence) •• Extrapyramidal side effects such as: (as haloperidol is a high potency typical antipsychotic it tends to produce significant extrapyramidal side effects. According to a recent meta-analysis of the comparative efficacy and tolerability of 15 antipsychotic drugs it was the most prone of the 15 for causing extrapyramidal side effects.) - Dystonia - Muscle rigidity - Akathisia - Parkinsonism •• Hypotension • Anticholinergic side effects such as: (Note: these adverse effects are less common than with lower potency typical antipsychotics) - Constipation - Dry mouth - Blurred vision • Somnolence (which is not a particularly prominent side effect, as is supported by the results of the aforementioned meta-analysis.) Unknown frequency •• Prolonged QT interval •• Orthostatic hypotension •• Increased respiratory rate •• Anaemia •• Visual disturbances •• Headache Rare (<1% incidence) •• Jaundice •• Hepatitis •• Cholestasis •• Acute hepatic failure •• Liver function test abnormal •• Hypoglycaemia •• Hyperglycaemia •• Hyponatraemia •• Anaphylactic reaction •• Hypersensitivity •• Agranulocytosis •• Neutropaenia •• Leukopaenia •• Thrombocytopaenia •• Pancytopaenia •• Psychotic disorder •• Agitation •• Confusional state Haloperidol 5 •• Depression •• Insomnia •• Seizure •• Torsades de pointes •• Ventricular fibrillation •• Ventricular tachycardia •• Extrasystoles •• Bronchospasm •• Laryngospasm •• Laryngeal oedema •• Dyspnoea •• Nausea •• Vomiting •• Leukocytoclastic vasculitis •• Dermatitis exfoliative •• Urticaria •• Photosensitivity reaction •• Rash •• Pruritis •• Hyperhidrosis •• Urinary retention •• Priapism •• Gynaecomastia •• Sudden death •• Face oedema •• Oedema •• Hypothermia •• Hyperthermia •• Injection site abscess •• Anorexia •• Pulmonary embolism •• Tardive dyskinesia •• Cataracts •• Retinopathy •• Neuroleptic malignant syndrome Haloperidol has been shown to dramatically increase dopamine activity, up to 98%, in test subjects after two weeks on a "moderate to high" dose compared to chronic schizophrenics. In another study, a live survey of a patient showed the person has 90% more dopamine receptors, of the D2 subtype, than before treatment with haloperidol. The long-term effect of this is unknown, but the first study concludes this upregulation is positively associated with severe dyskinesias (more upregulation, more dyskinesia). Some research studies have suggested effects of haloperidol on brain tissue. In a 2005 placebo-compared study of six macaques receiving haloperidol for up to 27 months,

Miguel Camargo 1, Fred Yeboah1, Mary Ellen Digan1, Honglin Niu1, Yue Accepted: 1 September 2017 Pan2, Stephan Reiling1, Gilberto Soler-Llavina3, Wilhelm A. Weihofen1, Hao-Ran Wang1, Y. Published: xx xx xxxx Gopi Shanker3, Travis Stams1 & Anke Bill1 N-methyl-D-aspartate-receptors (NMDARs) are ionotropic glutamate receptors that function in synaptic transmission, plasticity and cognition. Malfunction of NMDARs has been implicated in a variety of nervous system disorders, making them attractive therapeutic targets. Overexpression of functional NMDAR in non-neuronal cells results in cell death by excitotoxicity, hindering the development of cell- based assays for NMDAR drug discovery. Here we report a plate-based, high-throughput approach to study NMDAR function. Our assay enables the functional study of NMDARs with diferent subunit composition after activation by glycine/D-serine or glutamate and hence presents the frst plate-based, high throughput assay that allows for the measurement of NMDAR function in glycine/D-serine and/ or glutamate sensitive modes. This allows to investigate the efect of small molecule modulators on the activation of NMDARs at diferent concentrations or combinations of the co-ligands. The reported assay system faithfully replicates the pharmacology of the receptor in response to known agonists, antagonists, positive and negative allosteric modulators, as well as the receptor’s sensitivity to magnesium and zinc. We believe that the ability to study the biology of NMDARs rapidly and in large scale screens will enable the identifcation of novel therapeutics whose discovery has otherwise been hindered by the limitations of existing cell based approaches.

Donald Partridge, and C. Fernando Valenzuela Department of Neurosciences, University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131 Neurosteroids are produced de novo in neuronal and glial cells, which begin to express steroidogenic enzymes early in development. Studies suggest that neurosteroids may play important roles in neuronal circuit maturation via autocrine and/or paracrine actions. However, the mechanism of action of these agents is not fully understood. We report here that the excitatory neurosteroid pregnenolone sulfate induces a long-lasting strengthening of AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission in rat hippocampal neurons during a restricted developmental period. Using the acute hippocampal slice preparation and patch-clamp electrophysiological techniques, we found that pregnenolone sulfate increases the frequency of AMPA-mediated miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents in CA1 pyrami- dal neurons. This effect could not be observed in slices from rats older than postnatal day 5. The mechanism of action of pregnenolone sulfate involved a short-term increase in the probability of glutamate release, and this effect is likely mediated by presynaptic NMDA receptors containing the NR2D subunit, which is transiently expressed in the hippocampus. The increase in glutamate release triggered a long-term enhancement of AMPA receptor function that requires activation of postsynaptic NMDA receptors containing NR2B sub- units. Importantly, synaptic strengthening could also be triggered by postsynaptic neuron depolarization, and an anti-pregnenolone sulfate antibody scavenger blocked this effect.

    molecules Review Memantine Derivatives as Multitarget Agents in Alzheimer’s Disease Giambattista Marotta , Filippo Basagni , Michela Rosini and Anna Minarini * Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology, Alma Mater Studiorum-University of Bologna, Via Belmeloro 6, 40126 Bologna, Italy; [email protected] (G.M.); fi[email protected] (F.B.); [email protected] (M.R.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Academic Editors: Maria Novella Romanelli and Silvia Dei Received: 10 July 2020; Accepted: 1 September 2020; Published: 2 September 2020 Abstract: Memantine (3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-amine) is an orally active, noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist approved for treatment of moderate-to-severe Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a neurodegenerative condition characterized by a progressive cognitive decline. Unfortunately, memantine as well as the other class of drugs licensed for AD treatment acting as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs), provide only symptomatic relief. Thus, the urgent need in AD drug development is for disease-modifying therapies that may require approaching targets from more than one path at once or multiple targets simultaneously. Indeed, increasing evidence suggests that the modulation of a single neurotransmitter system represents a reductive approach to face the complexity of AD. Memantine is viewed as a privileged NMDAR-directed structure, and therefore, represents the driving motif in the design of a variety of multi-target directed ligands (MTDLs). In this review, we present selected examples of small molecules recently designed as MTDLs to contrast AD, by combining in a single entity the amantadine core of memantine with the pharmacophoric features of known neuroprotectants, such as antioxidant agents, AChEIs and Aβ-aggregation inhibitors.
