- What are antipsychotic drugs? (medicalnewstoday.com)
- First-generation antipsychotics, also known as typical or conventional antipsychotics are the initial class of drugs developed to treat psychotic disorders. (rxlist.com)
- Metabolic Changes: Atypical antipsychotic drugs have been associated with metabolic changes that may increase cardiovascular / cerebrovascular risk. (nih.gov)
- The new generation of antipsychotics, such as Risperdal, Zyprexa, and Seroquel, has replaced cholesterol-lowering agents as the top-selling class of drugs in the US. (nybooks.com)
- Analyses of 17 placebo-controlled trials (modal duration of 10 weeks), largely in patients taking atypical antipsychotic drugs, revealed a risk of death in drug-treated patients of between 1.6 to 1.7 times the risk of death in placebo-treated patients. (druglib.com)
- Observational studies suggest that, similar to atypical antipsychotic drugs, treatment with conventional antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. (druglib.com)
- A potentially fatal symptom complex sometimes referred to as Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) has been reported in association with antipsychotic drugs. (druglib.com)
- Therefore, antipsychotic drugs work by blocking receptors so that communication between groups of cells is reduced. (msdmanuals.com)
Selective1
- In particular, cerebral D2 receptor binding as measured by carbon-11-raclopride (11C-raclopride) has shown to reflect disease severity of Huntington's disease, a genetic disease characterized by selective degeneration of cerebral D2 receptors. (wikipedia.org)
NMDA1
- The role of glutamatergic NMDA receptors in these deficits is undetermined despite ketamine studies indicating potential links. (news-medical.net)
Patients treated1
- Undesirable alterations have been observed in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics. (nih.gov)
Agonists1
- I had better luck with dopamine pure agonists (pramipexole), but the initial (and unique) anti-anhedonic effect was quickly lost, and I did not try high doses. (dr-bob.org)
Symptoms1
- Doctors can legally prescribe antipsychotics off-label to treat serious dementia symptoms, such as hallucinations and agitation. (medicalnewstoday.com)
Signaling pathway1
- The most studied dopamine signaling pathway is the modulation of cyclic AMP production, with D1-like receptors activating cyclic AMP production through Gs/olf, and D2-like receptors inhibiting adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity through Gi/o proteins [2]. (turningtooneanother.net)
Glutamatergic1
- Loss of D2 dopamine receptor function modulates cocaine-induced glutamatergic synaptic potentiation in the ventral tegmental area. (neurotree.org)
Molecular1
- Recent advances in molecular genetics have revealed the two-receptor model to be a gross oversimplification. (psychiatrictimes.com)
Effects4
- Their therapeutic effects are mediated, in part, through blockade of D2-like dopamine (DA) receptors, i.e. the D2, D3 and D4 dopamine receptors. (ox.ac.uk)
- However, typical antipsychotics may not be the best antipsychotics for older adults with dementia because of the risk of side effects. (medicalnewstoday.com)
- What Are Side Effects of First Generation Antipsychotics? (rxlist.com)
- The effects on dopamine (DA) release and dopamine transporter (DAT) gene expression were assayed in hypothalamic HypoE22 cells. (researchgate.net)
