パリペリドン

説明Paliperidone, the C-9 hydroxylated active metabolite of the antipsychotic agent risperidone, is the newest atypical antipsychotic to join the market following the introductions of olanzapine (ZyprexaTM), risperidone (RisperdalTM), quetiapine(SeroquelTM), and ziprasidone (GeodonTM). Compared to its parent, paliperidone has improved PK properties and a reduced potential for drug interactions. In terms of receptor affinity, the two drugs are equipotent.

使用Paliperidone(Invega) is an atypical antipsychotic. Chemically, paliperidone is the primary active metabolite of the older atypical antipsychotic risperidone. It is indicated for the acute and maintenance treatment of schizophrenia

一般的な説明Paliperidone, (±)-3-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-9-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one(Invega), is essentially insoluble in water and is available asextended-release tablets. Paliperidone is delivered at a constantrate using an osmotic drug release device (OsmoticRelease Oral Systems [OROS]). The absolute bioavailabilityof paliperidone is 28%, and studies in healthy subjects on ahigh-fat, high-calorie meal showed an increase in AUC.Paliperidone is 74% bound to plasma proteins. After a single,1-mg dose of C-paliperidone, 59% of the dose was excretedin the urine as unchanged drug, and 32% of the dose was recoveredas metabolites. Most of the drug (80%) is excreted bythe kidneys. Paliperidone is metabolized by dealkylation, hydroxylation,dehydrogenation, and scission of the benzoxazolering. None of these metabolic pathways account for morethan 10% of the dose. The terminal elimination half-life ofpaliperidone is 23 hours.
