IC50 Value: 0.16 nM (Ki for 5-HT2 receptor); 1.4 nM (Ki for dopamine D2 receptor ) [1]Target: 5-HT2 receptor; D2 receptorRisperidone is an atypical antipsychotic drug which is mainly used to treat schizophrenia (including adolescent schizophrenia) and schizoaffective disorder. Risperidone has excellent oral activity, a rapid onset, and a 24-h duration of action.in vitro: Risperidone is serotonin 5-HT2 receptor blockade as shown by displacement of radioligand binding (Ki: 0.16 nM), activity on isolated tissues (EC50: 0.5 nM). Risperidone is also a potent dopamine D2 receptor antagonist as indicated by displacement of radioligand binding (Ki: 1.4 nM), activity in isolated striatal slices (IC50: 0.89 nM) [1]. Risperidone increased the production of IL-10 and MDC as well as the proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α, but decreased the production of IP-10 and IL-12. Furthermore, the exposure of DCs to risperidone led to lower IFN-γ production by T-cells [2].in vivo: Risperidone has the antagonism of peripherally (ED50: 0.0011 mg/kg) and centrally (ED50: 0.014 mg/kg) acting 5-HT2 receptor agonists in rats and antagonism of peripherally (ED50: 0.0057 mg/kg in dogs) and centrally acting D2 receptor agonists (ED50: 0.056-0.15 mg/kg in rats) [1]. Long-Evans rats received daily subcutaneous injections of vehicle or 1 of 2 doses of risperidone (1.0 and 3.0 mg/kg per day) from postnatal Days 14 to 42. Weight gain during development was slightly yet significantly reduced in risperidone-treatedrats. In the first 2 experiments, early-life risperidone administration was associated with increased locomotor activity at 1 week postadministration through approximately 9 months of age, independent of changes in weight gain [3].Toxicity: The changes in the reproductive system (uterus, ovary, vagina, cervix, and mammary gland) were considered secondary to the prolactin elevation, and the congestion of spleen was related to risperidone [4].

[3H]Eletriptan has a significantly faster association rate (K(on) 0.249/min/nM) than [3H]sumatriptan (K(on) 0.024/min/nM) and a significantly slower off-rate (K(off) 0.027/min compared to 0.037/min for [3H]sumatriptan) [1]. Eletriptan induces concentration-dependent contractions of meningeal artery, coronary artery, and saphenous vein. The potency of Eletriptan is higher in meningeal artery than in coronary artery (86-fold) or saphenous vein (66-fold). The predicted contraction by Eletriptan (40 mg and 80 mg) and sumatriptan (100 mg) at free C(max) observed in clinical trials is similar in meningeal artery [2].in vivo: Eletriptan (<1000 mg/kg, i.v.) produces a dose-dependent reduction of carotid arterial blood flow in the anaesthetised dog. Eletriptan reduces coronary artery diameter with ED50 value of 63 mg/kg in the anaesthetised dog.

Specific [3H]eltoprazine binding was completely displaced by 5-HT; conversely, unlabelled eltoprazine reduced [3H]5-HT binding to the levels of non-specific binding [1]. Eltoprazine evoked membrane changes that were similar to but much weaker than those induced by 5HT. Both the 5HT- and eltoprazine-evoked membrane hyperpolarizations were largely suppressed in the presence of spiperone [2].in vivo: eltoprazine is extremely effective in suppressing dyskinesia in experimental models, although this effect was accompanied by a partial worsening of the therapeutic effect of l-dopa. Interestingly, eltoprazine was found to (synergistically) potentiate the antidyskinetic effect of amantadine. The current data indicated that eltoprazine is highly effective in counteracting dyskinesia in preclinical models [3].
