Atypical Antipsychotic Pharmacology Stephanie Nichols, Pharm.D., BCPS, BCPP Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice NicholsS@Husson.edu Using Receptor Binding Profiles to Predict Adverse Effects
Objectives • Recognize atypical antipsychotics by brand and generic name • Understand how key pharmacological properties of antipsychotics translate into side effects • Compare and contrast the pharmacology of the atypical antipsychotics • Predict which antipsychotics may be more, or less, desirable in various patient scenarios

What defines an Antipsychotic? • Dopamine2 post synaptic antagonism • Reduce DA in the mesolimbic tract • Nucleus accumbens • Positive Symptoms • EPS
Antagonism Partial Agonism
Mesolimbic – VTA to NA, HC, amygdala Mesocortical – VTA to PFC Nigrostriatal – SN to BG Tuberoinfundibular – Hypothalamus to Pituitary Gland http://psychopharmacologyinstitute.com/antipsychotics-videos/dopamine-pathways-antipsychotics-pharmacology/
What defines an Atypical Antipsychotic? • Serotonin2a post-synaptic antagonism • 5HT2a puts the brakes on DA in PFC • Disinhibiting the inhibitor – increased mesocortical DA • ? Improved negative and cognitive symptoms • Reduced EPS – at what cost?
Atypical Antipsychotics in the US Generic Availability Brand Name Only Aripiprazole (Abilify) Paliperidone (Invega) Iloperidone (Fanapt) Asenapine (Saphris) Lurasidone (Latuda) • Clozapine (Clozaril) • Olanzapine (Zyprexa) • Quetiapine (Seroquel) • Risperidone (Risperdal) • Ziprasidone (Geodon)
