Description

Amisulpride is a dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonist with Kis of 2.8 and 3.2 nM for human dopamine D2 and D3, respectively.


Solid


Amisulpride is a member of the class of benzamides resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 4-amino-5-(ethylsulfonyl)-2-methoxybenzoic acid with the primary amino group of 2-(aminomethyl)-1-ethylpyrrolidine. It is a potent, selective dopamine D2 and D3 receptor antagonist. It is an atypical antipsychotic/antischizophrenic agent with limited extrapyrimidal side effects. It has a role as a second generation antipsychotic, a xenobiotic and an environmental contaminant. It is a member of pyrrolidines, an aromatic amine, a sulfone, a member of benzamides and an aromatic amide.|Amisulpride (trade name Solian) is an antipsychotic drug sold by Sanofi-Aventis. It is not approved for use in the United States, but is approved for use in Europe and Australia for the treatment of psychoses and schizophrenia. Additionally, it is approved in Italy for the treatment of dysthymia (under the brand name Deniban). Amisulpride is a selective dopamine antagonist.|A benzamide derivative that is used as an antipsychotic agent for the treatment of schizophrenia. It is also used as an antidepressive agent.

Drug Information

Investigated for use/treatment in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders, mania in bipolar disorder, and depression.

Amisulpride has known transformation products that include Amisulpride N-oxide.

Drugs that bind to but do not activate DOPAMINE RECEPTORS, thereby blocking the actions of dopamine or exogenous agonists. Many drugs used in the treatment of psychotic disorders (ANTIPSYCHOTIC AGENTS) are dopamine antagonists, although their therapeutic effects may be due to long-term adjustments of the brain rather than to the acute effects of blocking dopamine receptors. Dopamine antagonists have been used for several other clinical purposes including as ANTIEMETICS, in the treatment of Tourette syndrome, and for hiccup. Dopamine receptor blockade is associated with NEUROLEPTIC MALIGNANT SYNDROME. (See all compounds classified as Dopamine Antagonists.)|A structurally and mechanistically diverse group of drugs that are not tricyclics or monoamine oxidase inhibitors. The most clinically important appear to act selectively on serotonergic systems, especially by inhibiting serotonin reuptake. (See all compounds classified as Antidepressive Agents, Second-Generation.)|Agents that control agitated psychotic behavior, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect. They are used in SCHIZOPHRENIA; senile dementia; transient psychosis following surgery; or MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; etc. These drugs are often referred to as neuroleptics alluding to the tendency to produce neurological side effects, but not all antipsychotics are likely to produce such effects. Many of these drugs may also be effective against nausea, emesis, and pruritus. (See all compounds classified as Antipsychotic Agents.)

Bioavailability is 48% following oral administration.

Approximately 12 hours

Amisulpride binds selectively to dopamine D(2) and D(3) receptors in the limbic system. Low doses of amisulpride preferentially block presynaptic D(2)/D(3)-dopamine autoreceptors, thereby enhancing dopaminergic transmission, whereas higher doses block postsynaptic receptors, thus inhibiting dopaminergic hyperactivity. It may also have 5-ht7 antagonistic effect, useful in depression treatment.

Amisulpride Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

To a stirring mixture of 4-amino-2-methoxy-5 -ethyl sulphonyl benzoic acid (IV) and acetone (5.0 L) at 0-5°C, triethyl amine (0.405 Kg) was added and stirred followed by addition of ethyl chloroformate (0.368 Kg). N-ethyl-2-amino methyl pyrrolidine (0.627 Kg) was added to the reaction mass at 5-10°C. Temperature of reaction mass was raised to 25-30°C and stirred for 120 min. To the same reaction mass triethyl amine (0.405 Kg) and ethyl chloroformate (0.368 Kg) was added with maintaining the temperature. Reaction mass was stirred for 120 min. After completion of reaction, water (4.0 L) was added. Reaction mass was filtered and washed with water (2.0 L). Filtrate was collected and water was added (9.0 L). pH of the reaction mass was adjusted to 10.8-1 1.2 by using 20percent NaOH solution. Reaction mass was stirred for 240-300 min, filtered and washed with water. Solid was dried under vacuumYield : 70percentPurity: 98percent

Uses

Amisulpride is a neuroleptic agent, an analogue of Sulpiride (S689145). Amisulpride is used as an antipsychotic. Amisulpride is a dopamine receptor antagonist. Specific D2/D3 receptor antagonist, treats the positive and negative symptoms of acute and chronic schizophrenia.

Drug Function and Efficacy

Amisulpride is an aniline substitute neuroleptic drug that selectively binds to the D2 and D3 dopamine receptors in the limbic system. It does not bind to serotonergic receptors or other histamine, cholinergic, and adrenergic receptors. High doses of amisulpride mainly block dopaminergic neurons in the central part of the limbic system, while low doses of amisulpride mainly block presynaptic D2/D3 dopamine receptors. Compared with haloperidol, amisulpride can significantly improve patients' secondary negative symptoms.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
