Mechanism of Action |
Fluphenazine blocks postsynaptic mesolimbic dopaminergic D1 and D2 receptors in the brain; depresses the release of hypothalamic and hypophyseal hormones and is believed to depress the reticular activating system thus affecting basal metabolism, body temperature, wakefulness, vasomotor tone, and emesis., Agranulocytosis and the release of transaminase enzymes from liver cells are known consequences of neuroleptic drug use. These effects are most common with low potency neuroleptic drugs. It has been hypothesized that these effects are due to the direct toxic action of these drugs on blood and liver cells. The purpose of this study is to compare the cytotoxic effects of eight neuroleptic drugs in five different biological test systems. In all of the test systems, thioridazine, chlorpromazine, trifluoperazine, fluphenzine and thiothixene (group one drugs) were the most toxic drugs and molindone was the least toxic. Thioridazine was between 25 and 84 times more toxic than molindone. Loxapine was significantly more toxic than molindone, but less toxic than the group one drugs. Haloperidol was intermediate in toxicity between the group one drugs and loxapine. /It was/ concluded that the difference in cytotoxicity of the neuroleptic drugs observed in these experiments accounts in part for the increase in agranulocytosis and hepatotoxicity with thioridazine and chlorpromazine and for the lower incidence of these side effects with less toxic drugs. The possibility that tardive dyskinesia may be due to the cytotoxic effects of neuroleptic drugs is discussed and an experiment to test this hypothesis is suggested., The principal pharmacologic effects of fluphenazine are similar to those of chlorpromazine. Fluphenazine is more potent on a weight basis than chlorpromazine. Fluphenazine has weak anticholinergic and sedative effects and strong extrapyramidal effects. Fluphenazine has weak antiemetic activity., The development of phenothiazine derivatives as psychopharmacologic agents resulted from the observation that certain phenothiazine antihistaminic compounds produced sedation. In an attempt to enhance the sedative effects of these drugs, promethazine and chlorpromazine were synthesized. Chlorpromazine is the pharmacologic prototype of the phenothiazines. The pharmacology of phenothiazines is complex, and because of their actions on the central and autonomic nervous systems, the drugs affect many different sites in the body. Although the actions of the various phenothiazines are generally similar, these drugs differ both quantitatively and qualitatively in the extent to which they produce specific pharmacologic effects. /Phenothiazine General Statement/, In the CNS, phenothiazines act principally at the subcortical levels of the reticular formation, limbic system, and hypothalamus. Phenothiazines generally do not produce substantial cortical depression; however, there is minimal information on the specific effects of phenothiazines at the cortical level. Phenothiazines also act in the basal ganglia, exhibiting extrapyramidal effects. The precise mechanism(s) of action, including antipsychotic action, of phenothiazines has not been determined, but may be principally related to antidopaminergic effects of the drugs. There is evidence to indicate that phenothiazines antagonize dopamine-mediated neurotransmission at the synapses. There is also some evidence that phenothiazines may block postsynaptic dopamine receptor sites. However, it has not been determined whether the antipsychotic effect of the drugs is causally related to their antidopaminergic effects. Phenothiazines also have peripheral and/or central antagonistic activity against alpha-adrenergic, serotonergic, histaminic (H1-receptors), and muscarinic receptors. Phenothiazines also have some adrenergic activity, since they block the reuptake of monoamines at the presynaptic neuronal membrane, which tends to enhance neurotransmission. The effects of phenothiazines on the autonomic nervous system are complex and unpredictable because the drugs exhibit varying degrees of alpha-adrenergic blocking, muscarinic blocking, and adrenergic activity. The antipsychotic activity of phenothiazines may be related to any or all of these effects, but it has been suggested that the drugs' effects on dopamine are probably most important. It has also been suggested that effects of phenothiazines on other amines (eg, gamma-aminobutyric acid [GABA]) or peptides (eg, substance P, endorphins) may contribute to their antipsychotic effect. Further study is needed to determine the role of central neuronal receptor antagonism and of effects on biochemical mediators in the antipsychotic action of the phenothiazines and other antipsychotic agents. /Phenothiazine General Statement/, For more Mechanism of Action (Complete) data for Fluphenazine (17 total), please visit the HSDB record page. | |
