Pimozide Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

  • Pharmacological action In terms of pharmacological action, pimozide is similar to haloperidol. It is used in hospitals as well as in outpatient settings for supportive therapy of patients suffering from schizophrenia, paranoid conditions, and mental and neurotic disorders with paranoid characteristics. It is unfit for use in severe psychoses because it does not possess psychomotor-sedative action. It is used for treating patients who suffer from Turretts’s syndrome. 
  • Description Pimozide is a dopamine receptor antagonist (Kis = 2.4, 0.3, and 1.8 nM for D2, D3, and D4 receptors, respectively). It also binds to eight additional receptors (Kds = 25-3,100 nM for the human receptors) and inhibits the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.2 and the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv11.1 (IC50s = 42 and 340 nM, respectively). Pimozide (0.5, 1, and 2 mg/kg) decreases the number of licks and reduces fluid intake of a sweetened solution in rats. It decreases the number of threats and attacks and increases immobility time in the neutral arena aggression test, indicating increased passiveness, in male mice when administered at a dose of 0.75 mg/kg for 10 days. Formulations containing pimozide have been used in the treatment of Tourette syndrome.
  • Chemical Properties White or almost white powder.
  • Originator Orap ,Janssen, W. Germany ,1971
  • Uses Used for the suppression of motor and phonic tics in patients with Tourette's Disorder who have failed to respond satisfactorily to standard treatment.
  • Uses Pimozide is a D2 dopamine receptor antagonist that binds to the cloned 5-HT7 receptor with high affinity (1,2,3,4). Pimozide is also a Ca2+ channel antagonist. Pimozide is used as an antipsychotic.
  • Definition ChEBI: Pimozide is a member of the class of benzimidazoles that is 1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one in which one of the nitrogens is substituted by a piperidin-4-yl group, which in turn is substituted on the nitrogen by a 4,4-bis(p-fluorophenyl)butyl group. It has a role as a H1-receptor antagonist, a serotonergic antagonist, a first generation antipsychotic, an antidyskinesia agent and a dopaminergic antagonist. It is a member of benzimidazoles, an organofluorine compound and a heteroarylpiperidine.
  • brand name Orap (Teva).
  • General Description Pimozide, 1-[1-[4,4-bis(p-fluorophenyl)butyl]-4-piperidyl]-2-benzimidazolinone (Orap), isa white to creamy white solid (pKa=9.42). Pimozide is 50%absorbed after oral administration. It is metabolized byCYP450 enzymes, in particular the CYP3A4 and CYP1A2isozymes, to inactive metabolites. Pimozide is excreted in theurine and to a lesser extent in the feces. Toxic effects may beproduced with pimozide in the presence of inducers or inhibitorsof CYP3A4 and CYP1A2. Pimozide is also a stronginhibitor of CYP2D6 without appearing to be an importantsubstrate of this isoform.99 The use of pimozide in the UnitedStates is small, but it is a critical drug for many patients withGilles de la Tourette disorder who cannot tolerate haloperidol.
  • Biological Activity Dopamine D 2 -receptor antagonist and antipsychotic which binds with very high affinity to the cloned rat 5-HT 7 receptor (K i = 0.5 nM).
  • Biochem/physiol Actions D2 dopamine receptor antagonist; binds with high affinity to the cloned 5-HT7 receptor; Ca2+ channel antagonist; antipsychotic
  • Pharmacology Pimozide is an orally active antipsychotic drug product which shares with other antipsychotics the ability to blockade dopaminergic receptors on neurons in the central nervous system. However, receptor blockade is often accompanied by a series of secondary alterations in central dopamine metabolism and function which may contribute to both pimozide's therapeutic and untoward effects. In addition, pimozide, in common with other antipsychotic drugs, has various effects on other central nervous system receptor systems which are not fully characterized. Pimozide also has less potential for inducing sedation and hypotension as it has more specific dopamine receptor blocking activity than other neuroleptic agents (and is therefore a suitable alternative to haloperidol).
  • Synthesis Pimozide, 1-[1-[4,4-bis-(p-fluorophenyl)butyl]-4-piperidyl]-2-benzymidazolinone (6.6.5), is structurally very similar to droperidol with the exception of the presence of a double bond in the piperidine ring and the substitution of a p-fluorobutyrophenone group on the nitrogen atom of the piperidine ring with a 4,4-bis-(p-fluorophenyl)-butyl radical. 4,4-bis-(p-fluorophenyl)-butylchloride (bromide) (6.6.3), which is needed for the synthesis of pimozide as well as fluspirylene and penfluridol, is synthesized by reacting of two moles of 4-p-fluorophenylmagnesiumbromide with cyclopropancarboxylic acid ester, which results in the formation of bis-(4-p-fluorophenyl)cyclopropylcarbinol (6.6.1). Treatment of this with thionyl chloride (phosphorous tribromide) leads to opening of the cyclopropyl ring, forming 1,1-bis-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-chloro(bromo)-1- butene (6.6.2). Reduction of the double bond using hydrogen over a palladium catalyst leads to the formation of 1,1-bis-(4-fluoro- phenyl)butyl chloride (bromide) (6.6.3) [60–63].

    Synthesis_2062-78-4_2
  • in vitro pimozide displayed high affinity for dopamine receptors. the ki values for d2, d3, and d4 were 2.4, 0.2, and 1.8 nm, respectively [3].
  • in vivo in hungry rats, pimozide attenuated lever-pressing and running for food reward. pimozide pretreatment attenuated acquisition of a lever-pressing habit motivated by food reward in a dose-dependent manner[4]. in 31 male wistar rats self-administering cocaine, pimozide caused a dose-dependent (0.0625–0.5 mg/kg) acceleration of responding [5].
