Investigation of the disposition of loxapine, amoxapine and their hydroxylated metabolites in different brain regions, CSF and plasma of rat by LC–MS/MS

J. Pharm. Biomed. Anal. 58 , 83-93, (2012)

Loxapine represents an interesting example of old “new” drug and is recently drawing attention for its novel inhalation formulation for the treatment of both psychiatric and non-psychiatric disorders. It is extensively metabolized to several active metabolite...

In vitro aerosol characterization of Staccato(®) Loxapine.

Int. J. Pharm. 403(1-2) , 101-8, (2011)

Medicinal aerosol products (metered dose and dry powder inhalers) require characterization testing over a wide range of use and pre-operating stress scenarios in order to ensure robust product performance and support submissions for regulatory approval. Aeros...

Interaction of clozapine and its nitrenium ion with rat D2 dopamine receptors: in vitro binding and computational study.

J. Comput. Aided Mol. Des. 25(2) , 163-9, (2011)

The interaction of diazepine analogues like clozapine or olanzapine with D2 receptor was greatly affected by a mixture of HRP/H(2)O(2) known to induce the formation of nitrenium ion. Unlike diazepine derivatives, the oxidative mixture had low impact on the af...

The antipsychotic drug loxapine is an opener of the sodium-activated potassium channel slack (Slo2.2).

J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 340(3) , 706-15, (2012)

Sodium-activated potassium (K(Na)) channels have been suggested to set the resting potential, to modulate slow after-hyperpolarizations, and to control bursting behavior or spike frequency adaptation (Trends Neurosci 28:422-428, 2005). One of the genes that e...

In vitro identification of the human cytochrome p450 enzymes involved in the oxidative metabolism of loxapine.

Biopharm. Drug Dispos. 32(7) , 398-407, (2011)

In vitro studies were conducted to identify the hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes responsible for the oxidative metabolism of loxapine to 8-hydroxyloxapine, 7-hydroxyloxapine, N-desmethylloxapine (amoxapine) and loxapine N-oxide. These studies included us...

J. Psychosoc. Nurs. Ment. Health Serv. 50(1) , 16-8, (2012)

Acute agitation in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder is an important clinical management problem. Liquid concentrates, orally disintegrating tablets, and/or intramuscular formulations of several second-generation atypical antipsychotic drugs are...

Validation of HPLC-MS/MS methods for analysis of loxapine, amoxapine, 7-OH-loxapine, 8-OH-loxapine and loxapine N-oxide in human plasma.

Bioanalysis 2(12) , 1989-2000, (2010)

Two ESI-LC-MS/MS methods were validated for the quantitative analysis of loxapine, amoxapine, 7-OH-loxapine, 8-OH-loxapine and loxapine N-oxide in human K(2)EDTA plasma. Cation-exchange solid-phase extraction (SPE) was used to extract loxapine, amoxapine and ...

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome-like reaction precipitated by antipsychotics in a patient with gamma-butyrolactone withdrawal.
