不同浓度氯氮平对小鼠空腹血糖和骨骼肌葡萄糖转运蛋白4基因表达的影响

目的探讨氯氮平对雄性C57BL/6小鼠空腹血糖和骨骼肌葡萄糖转运蛋白4(GLUT4)基因表达的影响。方法将63只雄性C57BL/6小鼠随机分为3组,每组21只,分别灌胃给予蒸馏水、氯氮平4mg/kg及氯氮平20mg/kg,于给药后3h、1周、4周以试纸法测定各组空腹血糖,用逆转录-聚合酶链反应测定GLUT4mRNA表达。结果(1)灌药后3h、1周氯氮平4mg/kg组和氯氮平20mg/kg组空腹血糖和GLUT4mRNA的表达与空白对照组相比,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);(2)灌药后4周氯氮平4mg/kg组和20mg/kg组的空腹血糖值[(5.6±0.5)mmol/L和(5.8±0.5)mmol/L]高于空白对照组[(4.6±0.6)mmol/L],而GLUT4mRNA的表达(0.50±0.14和0.48±0.12)却低于空白对照组(0.85±0.27),差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论氯氮平可以慢性升高空腹血糖,降低GLUT4mRNA的表达,可能是抗精神病药长期应用后血糖升高的发生机制之一。

Repeated treatment with ascorbate or haloperidol,but not clozapine,elevates extracellular ascorbate in the neostriatum of freely moving rats

Acute administration of neuroleptic drugs alters the extracellular level of ascorbate in the neostriatum, and increasing evidence suggests a role for this vitamin in the behavioral, and possibly therapeutic, effects of these drugs. To shed further light on this issue, extracellular ascorbate was recorded in the neostriatum and nucleus accumbens of awake, behaving rats following chronic treatment with either classical (haloperidol) or atypical (clozapine) neuroleptics or ascorbate itself. Electrochemically modified, carbon-fiber microelectrodes were lowered in place the day after the last of 21 daily injections of either haloperidol (0.5 mg/kg, SC), clozapine (20 mg/kg, IP), sodium ascorbate (500 mg/kg, IP) or vehicle. Voltammetric measurements were obtained during quiet rest and following administration ofd-amphetamine (2.5 mg/kg). Repeated treatment with either haloperidol or ascorbate elevated basal extracellular ascorbate and potentiated the amphetamine-induced increase in ascorbate release in neostriatum but not nucleus accumbens. Both treatment groups also showed a significant increase in amphetamine-induced sniffing and repetitive head movements compared to vehicle-treated animals. In contrast, repeated clozapine had no effect on extracellular ascorbate in either neostriatum or nucleus accumbens, but increased the locomotor response to an amphetamine challenge. Thus, to the extent that increases in neostriatal ascorbate exert neuroleptic-like effects, such effects are likely to parallel haloperidol rather than clozapine.

Decreased R-R variation: A criterium for overdosage of tricyclic psychotropic drugs

Objective Since intoxication with tricyclic antidepressants is common, a supplementary screening method for differentiation between therapeutic and supratherapeutic ranges would be a valuable diagnositc tool, particularly in delirious and unconscious patientsSetting 109 patients treated with amitriptyline, 8 patients treated with doxepin, 10 patients treated with clozapine, and 72 normal control subjects matched for age and sex were tested for heart rate variability while resting.Results Considering time and frequency derived measures, which are rather independent of heart rate, the patients showed significantly decreased heart rate variability parameters (p<0.0001), as compared with the normal subjects. Of the patients presenting delirious symptoms 6 showed coefficients of variation more than 4 standard deviations below the mean control value.Conclusions As heart rate variability can be easily calculated, this measurement is suggested as a useful tool to quickly exclude or support the diagnosis of chronic intoxication with tricyclic antidepressants or clozapine.     

Antagonism of phencyclidine-induced deficits in prepulse inhibition by the putative atypical antipsychotic olanzapine

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle reflex provides an operational measure of sensorimotor gating. Deficits in PPI are observed in schizophrenia patients and can be modelled in animals by administration of noncompetitive NMDA antagonists such as phencyclidine (PCP) or dizocilpine (MK-801). Previous studies indicate that the atypical antipsychotic clozapine restores PPI in PCP-treated animals while the typical antipsychotic haloperidol does not. Olanzapine (LY170053) is a novel putative atypical antipsychotic that shares many pharmacological and behavioral properties with clozapine. The present study assessed the ability of olanzapine (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 or 10.0 mg/kg) to antagonize deficits in PPI produced by PCP (1.5 mg/kg) and dizocilpine (0.1 mg/kg). At the two highest doses, olanzapine significantly increased PPI in PCP- and dizocilpine-treated animals without affecting PPI or baseline startle reactivity by itself. These results support the notion that olanzapine is functionally similar to clozapine and may have utility as an atypical antipsychotic agent.

Receptor binding of N-(methyl-11C) clozapine in the brain of rhesus monkey studied by positron emission tomography (PET)

By means of positron emission tomography the uptake and kinetics of N-(methyl-¹¹C)clozapine in different brain regions have been studied in Rhesus monkeys. ¹¹C-clozapine rapidly entered the brain and maximum radioactive uptake was seen 5–12 min after administration. Highest uptake was measured in the striatum. Other regions with an uptake higher than in the cerebellum were thalamus and mesencephalon. The radioactivity from different brain regions decreased with an elimination half-life of about 5 h and parallelled the plasma kinetics of unlabelled clozapine. The striatum/cerebellum ratio of ¹¹C-clozapine-derived radioactivity remained constant during the period studied and did not change after pretreatment with atropine. In contrast, the striatum/cerebellum ratio was somewhat lower after pretreatment with N-methylspiperone (NMSP), indicating competition for the same binding sites in the striatum. After pretreatment with increasing doses of clozapine, a dose-dependent protection of binding sites in the striatum for ¹¹C-NMSP was seen. It is concluded that clozapine is more loosely bound to dopamine receptors in the striatum than N-methylspiperone and that the kinetics of clozapine in the brain parallel that in the plasma. The binding properties of clozapine within the brain may explain some of the clinical properties of the drug.     

Clozapine acts as a 5-HT2 antagonist by attenuating DOI-induced inhibition of male rat sexual behaviour

Evidence has been reported that clozapine may derive part of its therapeutic effects in treatment-resistant schizophrenic patients by interacting with the serotonin system. Among the few behavioural models available to test the hypothesis of an interaction of clozapine with 5-HT₂ receptors, male rat sexual behaviour is particularly useful, since in this behaviour 5-HT_1A and 5-HT₂ receptors have opposite functions. Stimulation of 5-HT_1A receptors facilitates ejaculatory behaviour and stimulation of 5-HT₂ receptors inhibit ejaculation. In the present study, male rat sexual behaviour was depressed by treatment with DOI (1.0 mg/kg), a selective 5-HT₂ receptor agonist. The depressive effect of DOI was attenuated by the administration of clozapine (0.1–1.0 mg/kg) in doses that by themselves did not significantly affect sexual behaviour. It was concluded that clozapine in the male rat sexual behaviour model may be interpreted as serving as a 5-HT₂ antagonist.
