Loxapine Succinate (Loxapac; Adasuve; Cloxazepin; Daxolin; Oxilapine), the succinate salt of Loxapine which is a dibenzoxazepine anti-psychotic drug, is a potent D2DR/D4DR inhibitor as well as serotonergic receptor antagonist. It is a common antipsychotic medication that is mostly used to treat schizophrenia.

Receptor binding assays - dopamine, 5-HT2, NMDA receptors [1]
To perform the receptor binding assays, 0.8 nM of [3H] SCH23390 (Di receptor antagonist), 0.5 nM [3H] spiroperidol (D2 and D4 receptor antagonist), 0.5 nM of [3H] ketanserin (5-HT2 receptor antagonist), and 2.0 nM [3H] MK801 (NMDA receptor antagonist) were incubated with 150 )ig of membrane proteins in a final volume of 1 ml. Nonspecific binding was determined in parallel assays in the presence of 1 jM (+) butaclamol (D2 and D4 assays), 10 jM cis-flupenthixol (Di assays), 2 ,uM methysergide (5-HT2 assays) and 50 jM MK801 (NMDA assays). Assays using [3H] spiroperidol also included 50 nM ketanserin to occlude the presence ofserotonergic sites. For the competition experiments, varying concentrations of loxapine were included in the assay tubes. Incubations forthe Di, D2, 5-HT2 andNMDA receptors were performed at 25°C for 90 min, 25°C for 60 min, 37°C for 15 min and 25°C for 120 min, respectively. D4 receptor binding assays with COS cells were incubated at 22°C for 120 min using the cell binding buffer described in the membrane preparation section. At the end ofthe incubation, the bound and free ligands were separated by rapid filtration on Whatman GF/B filters, which were washed 3 times with 5 ml ofcold filtration buffer: (50 mM Tris-HCL, 1.0 mM EDTA, pH 7.4) for the [3H] spiroperidol and [3H] SCH23390 assays, (50 mM Tris-HCL, pH 7.4) for [3H] ketanserin assays, and (10 mM HEPES, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4) for [3H] MK80 1 assays. Bound radioactivity was measured using a Beckman Scintillation Counter (model LS 5000TA).[1] |

| Cell Assay |
The cytokines IL-1beta and IL-2 are released from activated glial cells in the central nervous system and they are able to enhance catecholaminergic neurotransmission. There is no data concerning influence of antipsychotics on glial cell activity. Antipsychotics reaching the brain act not only on neurons but probably also on glial cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chlorpromazine and loxapine on release of IL-1beta and IL-2 by mixed glial and microglial cell cultures. Chlorpromazine in concentrations 2 and 20 muM, and loxapine 0.2, 2 and 20 microM reduced IL-1beta secretion by LPS-activated mixed glia cultures after 1 and 3 days of exposure. Chlorpromazine in concentrations of 0.2, 2 and 20 microM reduced the IL-2 secretion in mixed glial cultures after 3 days of exposure. Loxapine in concentrations of 0.2, 2 and 20 microM reduced IL-2 secretion in mixed glia cultures after 1 and 3 days of exposure, and additionally loxapine decreased IL-1beta and IL-2 secretion in LPS-induced microglia cultures in concentrations of 2, 10 and 20 muM. Quinpirole-a D2 dopaminergic agonist increased LPS-induced IL-1beta and IL-2 secretion in mixed glia cultures only in the highest dose of 20 microM. These findings suggest the absence of functional dopamine receptors on cortical microglial cells. Mixed glia cultures deprived of microglia (by shaking and incubating with L-leucine methyl ester) did not release IL-1beta and IL-2. This observation suggests that microglia can be a source of assessed cytokines. Results of the present study support the view that antipsychotics act not only on neurons but also on glial cells. However, the clinical significance of these observations still remains unclear[2].

| Animal Protocol |
Adult male Wistar rats (150-175 g)
5 mg/kg Intraperitoneal injection, daily for 4 or 10 weeks Loxapine (0.3 mg/kg s.c.), olanzapine (10 mg/kg s.c.) and SCH 23390 (R-(+)-chloro-2, 3, 4, 5-tetrahydro-3-methyl-5-phenyl-1-H-3-benzazepine; 1 mg/kg, s.c.), but not clozapine (10 mg/kg, s.c.), induced catalepsy in rats. Co-administration of clozapine (1, 3 and 10 mg/kg s.c.) dose-dependently inhibited loxapine-induced catalepsy. Clozapine (10 mg/kg s.c.) also prevented the induction of catalepsy by olanzapine. In addition, clozapine abolished the catalepsy induced by loxapine when it was administered after the response had fully developed. In contrast, the duration of SCH 23390-induced catalepsy was prolonged by clozapine, indicating that its anti-catalepsy effects against olanzapine and loxapine are unlikely to be caused by muscle relaxation, sedation or stimulation. Since SCH 23390-induced catalepsy is reported to be blocked by scopolamine, dizocilpine (MK-801) or 8-hydroxy-dipropylamino-tetralin, it is unlikely that muscarinic blockade, NMDA ion channel blockade and 5-HT1A receptor agonism, respectively, are involved in clozapine's action, but the mechanism by which clozapine exerts this anti-cataleptic effect remains unknown.[4] |

Absorption
Systemic bioavailability of the parent drug was only about one third that after an equivalent intramuscular dose (25 mg base) in male volunteers Route of Elimination Metabolites are excreted in the urine in the form of conjugates and in the feces unconjugated. Animal studies with radioactive drug indicate that loxapine and/or its metabolites are widely distributed in body tissues with highest concentrations in brain, lungs, heart, liver, and pancreas. The drug appears in the CSF. Loxapine is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the GI tract. The drug is also almost completely absorbed following IM administration.

| Additional Infomation |
Loxapine Succinate is the succinate salt form of loxapine, a tricyclic dibenzoxazepine antipsychotic agent with antiemetic, sedative, anticholinergic, and antiadrenergic actions. Loxapine succinate exerts its actions by blocking the dopamine receptors at postsynaptic receptor sites in the limbic system, cortical system and basal ganglia, thereby reducing the hallucinations and delusions that are associated with schizophrenia. This agent also exerts extrapyramidal side effects.
An antipsychotic agent used in schizophrenia. See also: Loxapine (has active moiety). |
