Receptor Effects of Antipsychotics D2 and 5-HT2 Receptor Effects of Antipsychotics D2 and 5-HT2 Receptor Effects of Antipsychotics: Bridging Basic and Clinical Findings Using PET Gary Remington, M.D., Ph.D., F.R.C.P.C., and Shitij Kapur, M.D., Ph.D., F.R.C.P.C. © Copyright 2000 Physicians Postgraduate Press, Inc. The advent of a number of new antipsychotics has been paralleled by efforts to better delineate their mechanisms of action and, in doing so, further our understanding of schizophrenia and its patho- physiology. Technological advances, such as positron emission tomography (PET), have proven to be powerful tools in this process, allowing us to evaluate in vivo models based primarily on in vitro evi- dence. Combined serotonin-2/dopamine-2 (5-HT2/D2) antagonism represents one such model, and we now have PET evidence available that can be extrapolated to our understanding and clinical use of both conventional and novel antipsychotics.

    PRODUCT INFORMATION Risperidone-d4 Item No. 10010570 CAS Registry No.: 1020719-76-9 Formal Name: 3-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol- O 3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl-1,1,2,2-d4]- N 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4H- pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one F D D C H FN O D MF: 23 23 4 2 4 N FW: 414.5 N Chemical Purity: ≥95% (Risperidone) D D O Deuterium N Incorporation: ≥99% deuterated forms (d1-d4); ≤1% d0 Supplied as: A solid Storage: -20°C Stability: ≥2 years Information represents the product specifications. Batch specific analytical results are provided on each certificate of analysis. Laboratory Procedures Risperidone-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of risperidone (Item No. 13629) by GC- or LC-MS. The accuracy of the sample weight in this vial is between 5% over and 2% under the amount shown on the vial. If better precision is required, the deuterated standard should be quantitated against a more precisely weighed unlabeled standard by constructing a standard curve of peak intensity ratios (deuterated versus unlabeled). Risperidone-d4 is supplied as a solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the risperidone-d4 in the solvent of choice, which should be purged with an inert gas. Risperidone-d4 is slightly soluble in chloroform and methanol. Description Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic that binds to dopamine D2 receptors (Ki = 3 nM) and the serotonin 1,2 (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT2A (Ki = 0.12 nM). It also binds to dopamine D4, α1- and α2-adrenergic, 5-HT1C, 5-HT1D, and histamine H1 receptors (Kis = 7, 0.81, 7.3, 47, 52, and 2.1 nM, respectively).

These results indicate that the FC, as assessed by microdialysis, with those obtained the risperidone-increased 5-HT output in the FC may be a with other antipsychotic drugs, i.e., clozapine, haloperidol, related to its 2-adrenoceptor antagonistic action, a a and amperozide, as well as with the selective 2- or 5-HT2A property shared with both amperozide and idazoxan, and receptor antagonists idazoxan or MDL 100,907, that this action probably is executed at the nerve terminal respectively.

  • A New Framework for Investigating Antipsychotic Action in Humans: Lessons from PET Imaging S Kapur
    Molecular Psychiatry (1998) 3, 135–140 1998 Stockton Press All rights reserved 1359–4184/98 $12.00 PERSPECTIVE A new framework for investigating antipsychotic action in humans: lessons from PET imaging S Kapur Schizophrenia Division and the PET Centre, The Clarke Institute of Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto; Rotman Research Institute, Baycrest Centre, University of Toronto With a decade of neuroreceptor imaging of antipsychotics behind us, this article attempts to synthesise what has been learnt about the mechanism of action of antipsychotics using these techniques. The data show that: (i) the ‘typical’ antipsychotics bind mainly to the dopamine D2 receptor, and that 60–80% D2 occupancy may provide optimal antipsychotic response with little extrapyramidal side effects; (ii) all the clinically available ‘atypical’ antipsychotics show a higher occupancy of the 5-HT2 than D2 receptors; (iii) however, these ‘atypical’ antipsy- chotics differ in their D2 occupancy. The D2 occupancy of risperidone is within the typical range (ie Ͼ 60%) while that of clozapine is clearly lower (Ͻ60%); (iv) antipsychotics with com- bined 5-HT2/D2 antagonism lose some of their ‘atypical’ properties if used in doses where Ͼ their D2 occupancy is too high ( 80%). Based on these data a framework is suggested wherein antipsychotics may be classified on the basis of their D2 and 5-HT2 occupancy in patients at steady state while taking clinically relevant doses. Within this framework typical antipsy- chotics are classified as ‘high-D2’, risperidone as ‘high-D2 high-5HT2’ and clozapine as a ‘low- D2 high-5HT2’ antipsychotic. The justification, limitations and the value of this framework in understanding and investigating newer antipsychotics is discussed.
