Action potentials and amphetamine release antipsychotic drug from dopamine neuron synaptic VMAT vesicles.
Based on lysotracker red imaging in cultured hippocampal neurons, antipsychotic drugs (APDs) were proposed to accumulate in synaptic vesicles by acidic trapping and to be released in response to action potentials. Because many APDs are dopamine (DA) D2 receptor (D2R) antagonists, such a mechanism would be particularly interesting if it operated in midbrain DA neurons. Here, the APD cyamemazine ...
متن کاملPreclinical models of antipsychotic drug action.
One of the main obstacles faced by translational neuroscience is the development of animal models of psychiatric disorders. Behavioural pharmacology studies indicate that psychedelic drugs, such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and dissociative drugs, such as phencyclidine (PCP), induce in healthy human volunteers psychotic and cognitive symptoms that resemble some of those observed in schiz...
متن کاملBiologic Mechanisms of Psychosis and Antipsychotic Drug Actions: from Dopamine Excess to Dopamine Stabilization*
According to the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia, symptoms of psychosis arise, in part, from dysregulation of central dopaminergic pathways. The activity of dopaminergic neurons is in turn modulated by several neurotransmitters, including, most prominently, serotonin and glutamate. The first generation of antipsychotic drugs (ie, typical antipsychotics) are characterized by potent D2 dopam...
متن کاملSuccessful treatment of dopamine dysregulation syndrome with dopamine D2 partial agonist antipsychotic drug
Dopamine dysregulation syndrome (DDS) consists of a series of complications such as compulsive use of dopaminergic medications, aggressive or hypomanic behaviors during excessive use, and withdrawal states characterized by dysphoria and anxiety, caused by long-term dopaminergic treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Although several ways to manage DDS have been suggested, there ha...
متن کاملReevaluation of the mesolimbic hypothesis of antipsychotic drug action.
Conventional neuroleptic drugs are thought to derive their antipsychotic efficacy through influences on the mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system. In contrast, motor side effects of these drugs are suggested to follow from influences on the nigrostriatal DA system. This conceptualization is based on the assumption that behaviors mediated by the mesolimbic DA system are involved in schizophrenia while...
