Iptakalim: a potential antipsychotic drug with novel mechanisms?
Iptakalim is a novel putative adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel opener. In the brain, iptakalim is thought to act on the neuronal and astrocytic plasma membrane and/or mitochondrial K(ATP) channels. Because iptakalim demonstrates an action on the regulation of dopamine and glutamate release in the forebrain regions, we examined its potential antipsychotic efficac...
متن کاملYKP1447, A Novel Potential Atypical Antipsychotic Agent.
(S)-Carbamic acid 2-[4-(4-fluoro-benzoyl)-piperidin-1-yl]-1-phenyl-ethyl ester hydrochloride (YKP1447) is a novel "atypical" antipsychotic drug which selectively binds to serotonin (5-HT(2A), Ki=0.61 nM, 5-HT(2C), Ki=20.7 nM) and dopamine (D(2), Ki=45.9 nM, D(3), Ki=42.1 nM) receptors with over 10~100-fold selectivity over the various receptors which exist in the brain. In the behavioral studie...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of Antipsychotic Drug-Induced Diabetes
Antipsychotic drugs (APDs) are widely prescribed to control various mental disorders. As mental disorders are chronic diseases, these drugs are often used over a life-time. However, APDs can cause serious glucometabolic side-effects including type 2 diabetes and hyperglycaemic emergency, leading to medication non-compliance. At present, there is no effective approach to overcome these side-effe...
متن کاملAn investigation of the behavioral mechanisms of antipsychotic action using a drug-drug conditioning paradigm.
Antipsychotic drugs at noncataleptic doses selectively suppress conditioned avoidance response in rats. In our previous study, we had used a two-way active avoidance response paradigm to show that the antipsychotic-induced interoceptive state is one of the mechanisms underlying the avoidance-disruptive effect of antipsychotics. In this study, we sought to further examine this mechanism using a ...
متن کاملIdentification of antipsychotic drug fluspirilene as a potential anti-glioma stem cell drug
Glioma stem cell (GSC)-targeted therapy is expected to be one of the most innovative approaches to treat patients with glioblastoma (GBM). A number of the drugs that restrain the signaling pathway essential for GSC maintenance have been under clinical trials. Here, we identified fluspirilene, a traditional antipsychotic drug, as a GSC-targeting agent, selected from thousands of existing drugs, ...
