These impu- rities were isolated from crude samples using reverse-phase preparative HPLC. Based on the spectral data, the impurities were characterized as 2-[4-dibenzo[b,f ][1,4]thiazepine-11-yl-1-piperazinyl]1-2-etha- nol (impurity I, desethanol quetiapine), 11-[(N-formyl)-1-piperazinyl]-dibenzo[b,f ][1,4]thiazepine (impur- ity II, N-formyl piperazinyl thiazepine), 2-(2-hydroxy ethoxy)ethyl-2-[2-[4-dibenzo[b,f ][1,4]thiazepine-11- piperazinyl-1-carboxylate (impurity III, quetiapine carboxylate), 11-[4-ethyl-1-piperazinyl]dibenzo [b,f ][1,4] thiazepine (impurity IV, ethylpiperazinyl thiazepine), 2-[2-(4-dibenzo[b,f ][1,4]thiazepin-11-yl-1-piperazi- nyl)ethoxy]1-ethyl ethanol [impurity V, ethyl quetiapine), 1,4-bis[dibenzo[b,f ][1,4]thiazepine-11-yl] piper- azine [impurity VI, bis(dibenzo)piperazine]. The known impurity was an intermediate, 11-piperazinyl- dibenzo [b,f ][1,4]thiazepine (piperazinyl thiazepine). The structures were established unambiguously by independent synthesis and co-injection in HPLC to confirm the retention times. To the best of our knowledge, these impurities have not been reported before. Structural elucidation of all impurities by spectral data (1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and IR), synthesis and formation of these impurities are dis- cussed in detail. 1. Introduction 2.

Sudden cardiac death secondary to antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs Serge Sicouri, MD and Charles Antzelevitch, PhD† Masonic Medical Research Laboratory, 2150 Bleecker Street, Utica, NY, USA Abstract A number of antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs are known to increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Based largely on a concern over QT prolongation and the development of life-threatening arrhythmias, a number of antipsychotic drugs have been temporarily or permanently withdrawn from the market or their use restricted. Some antidepressants and antipsychotics have been linked to QT prolongation and the development of Torsade de pointes arrhythmias, whereas others have been associated with a Brugada syndrome phenotype and the development of polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias. This review examines the mechanisms and predisposing factors underlying the development of cardiac arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death, associated with antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs in clinical use. Keywords antidepressants; antipsychotics; arrhythmias; Brugada syndrome; long QT syndrome; sudden cardiac death 1. Introduction Sudden unexplained death in individuals with mental health problems was first described in 1849 and a link with antipsychotic drugs was postulated over 40 years ago [1,2]. Starting in early 1990, a clear relationship has been established between antipsychotics, prolongation of the QT interval of the electrocardiogram (ECG), an atypical polymorphic tachycardia known as Torsade de pointes (TdP), and sudden cardiac death (SCD).

It is not meant to be used for clinical practice. Each physician will have their own methodology in treating children and adolescents, as many of these drugs have not been fully tested for use with patients under the age of 18. It is strongly advised that when questions arise regarding medication for a specific youth that those questions be referred to the treating physician. • Please be aware and attuned to the possible side effects of any medication, especially at the onset of starting any new medication. • In particular, suicidal ideation with antidepressants, stimulants, and Strattera. • Watch for adverse effects of all stimulants, such as hallucinations and psychosis.

  • Leukopenia Induced by Quetiapine in a Patient with History of Clozapine-Induced Leukopenia
    Case Report Taiwanese Journal of Psychiatry (Taipei) Vol. 25 No. 3 2011 • 191 • Leukopenia Induced by Quetiapine in a Patient with History of Clozapine-induced Leukopenia Chih-Jen Wang, M.D.1, Cheng-Chen Chang, M.D.1, Si-Sheng Huang, M.D.1,2,3,4 Objective: Many antipsychotic medications can cause hematological abnor- malities. Quetiapine is a dibenzothiazepine derivative similar to clozapine, an an- tipsychotic agent which has the highest risk of causing blood dyscrasias. A case of quetiapine-induced leukopenia is described here in a patient who had a previous history of leukopenia induced by clozapine. Case Report: A 34-year-old Taiwan- ese woman patient with schizophrenia had a history of clozapine-induced leukope- nia. She developed leukopenia again after her receiving quetiapine treatment. Af- ter quetiapine was discontinued, her white blood count was increased to a normal range. Conclusion: Physicians should be cautious of having potential hematologi- cal abnormalities before prescribing leukopenia-causing drugs, especially in pa- tients with a history of drug-induced leukopenia.

Commun. 2018; 24(4): 219–230 Yasutaka Shimotori*, Masayuki Hoshi, Mari Murata, Narihito Ogawa, Tetsuo Miyakoshi and Taisei Kanamoto Synthesis of dibenzothiazepine analogues by one-pot S-arylation and intramolecular cyclization of diaryl sulfides and evaluation of antibacterial properties https://doi.org/10.1515/hc-2018-0099 as antibacterial agents, and ritonavir [21, 22] used as an Received June 18, 2018; accepted June 19, 2018; previously published anti-HIV therapeutic agent are well-known sulfur-con- online July 12, 2018 taining cyclic compounds. In addition, benzothiazepines exhibit antimicrobial [23–25], antiviral [26], cytostatic [27], Abstract: Dibenzothiazepine analogues containing anticonvulsant [28, 29] and antipsychotic activities [30]. lactam, amidine and imine moieties were prepared Previously, we have reported synthesis of sulfides from from 2-aminophenyl disulfides via one-pot S-arylation. aryl disulfides [31, 32] by cleavage of an S-S bond of aryl The S-arylation involved cleavage of an S-S bond of disulfides using ammonium thioglycolate, followed by disulfides and S Ar reaction in aqueous ammonia solu- N S-arylation and alkylation in one-pot treatment. In this tion of L-cysteine to afford diaryl sulfides. Dibenzothi- study, the S-S bond cleavage of 2-aminophenyl disulfides azepine analogues having lactam and amidine moieties was carried out using L-cysteine instead of thioglycolic were obtained by cyclization of the corresponding diaryl acid. Diaryl sulfides were synthesized by a one-pot S Ar sulfides under acidic conditions. One-pot S-arylation of N reaction using nitroarenes. Various dibenzothiazepine 2-bromo-5-nitrobenzaldehyde gave dibenzothiazepine analogues were synthesized by cyclization of the cor- analogues with an imine moiety in one step through intra- responding diaryl sulfides.
