Neuroleptics
(ANTIPSYCHOTIC MEDICINES)
Neuroleptics are psychotropic medicines that are
able to reveal the inhibitory action on the CNS (without
consciousness disturbing) eliminate hallucinations,
delirium and stop the psychomotor excitation (motor and
speech).

Pharmacological action
Antipsychotic effect (elimination of delusions, aggression)
is associated with blockade of dopaminergic D2 receptor reticular
formation (removed activating influence on the cortex of the
brain), nuclei, midbrain, limbic system, hypothalamus. With the
same linked primary and side effects - extrapyramidal disorder, a
syndrome similar to Parkinson's disease.
Potential action is caused by blockade a-AR and reticular
formation.
Antiemetic effect is related to the blockade of dopaminergic (D2)
and serotonin receptors "trigger zone“ of medula oblongata and
termination of the signals in the emetic center.

The Hypothermic effect is the result of adreno- and
serotonin receptors blockade and, therefore, decrease of the activity
of the hypothalamic thermoregulation centres (decrease of the heat
production and increase of the heat emission).
The Antihistamine effect implemented by the blockade of H1-
histamine receptors.
The Hypotensive effect - the result of blockade of AR and a-
dofaminoretseptors in the hypothalamus and peripheral vessels.
The Neuroleptic (weakness, drowsiness, paralysis of will", motor
inhibition) action - blockade of central and a-AR reticular
formation, limbic system, hypothalamus.

These new medications were approved for use in the 1990s.
Clozapine, asenapine, olanzapine, quetiapine, paliperidone,
risperidone, sertindole, ziprasidone, zotepine, and aripiprazole are
atypical antipsychotic drugs. With the discovery of clozapine in
1959, it became evident that this drug was less likely to produce
extrapyramidal effects (physical symptoms such as tremors,
paranoia, anxiety, dystonia, etc. as a result of improper doses or
adverse reactions to this class of drug) in humans at clinically
effective doses than some other types of antipsychotics. Clozapine
was categorized as the first atypical antipsychotic drug. This
category of drugs has also been of great value in studying the
pathophysiology of schizophrenia and other psychoses.

TRANQUILIZERS
(ANXIOLYTICS, ATARACTICS, ANTIPHOBIC
MEDICINES)
Tranquilizers (in Latin tranquillare – „to make calm”)
are medicines that remove selectively fair, anxiety, emotional
tension increased restlessness and are used mainly in neuroses
and the related states.

Medazepam, Gidazepam, Trimetosine are “day time”
tranquilizers as they cause less inhibition of CNS than other
medicines, therefore,they can be used in day time.

The mechanism of action
They decrease the excitability of subcortical regions of
the brain (the limbic system, thalamus, the reticular formation,
the hypothalamus), that are responsible for emotional reactions,
inhibit the interaction between these structures and the brain
cortex.
Benzodiazepines stimulate mainly benzodiazepine
receptors and that leads to activation of GABA-receptors and
intensification of the inhibitory functions of GABA .

Sedative Medicines
Sedative medicines (in Latin sedatio is
calming) are medicines that cause a moderate
sedative effect as a result of decrease of CNS
excitability and its reactivity of different stimuli
The mechanism of action
They increase of the inhibitory processes in the
CNS and decrease of the excitability of the reticular
formation and the brain cortex.

The features of sedative medicines is the lack of
significant side effects because they are widely used in
outpatient practice and in elderly patients.
At long use drugs generates bromine "bromizm": general
retardation, drowsiness, weakening of memory, apathy,
decreased potency, tearing, cough, running nose, skin rash.
Treatment: immediately stop taking the drug, the
introduction of large numbers of sodium chloride (20 g per
day) and need to drink a lot.

Hypnotic medicinesDisorders of sleep (insomnia, hyposomnia) are one of the
states that are common and occur independently (primary
insomnia), and at the different somatic and psychiatric
pathologies (the secondary insomnia).
If the sleep disorder is repeated more than 4 times a week,
which requires pharmacological correction as insomnia
(violation of physiological rhythms in the CNS) leads to
overexcited, fatigue, exhaustion of the brain and, consequently,
to different forms of pathology of neurogenic origin.
Hypnotics are products that tend to restore the process of
falling asleep, sleep duration and depth of their violation.

The mechanism of action
of sedative medicinesInhibit some brain structures (mainly cerebral cortex).
Weaken the activating reticular formation of the discharges in the
cerebral cortex.
In the mechanism of action of benzodiazepine and barbituric acid
an important part plays their relationship with benzodiazepine
receptors and barbiturate-benzodiazepine-GABA receptor
complex, leading to strengthening of the natural inhibitory
neurotransmitter GABA (gamma amino butyric acid)

Mechanism of action
Inhibition the pathological activity of neurons in epileptic
foci of motor cortex areas and subcortical structures by
reducing the utilization of O2, energetic and exciting action
of amino acids (glutaminum and aspartamum), blocking Ca-
and Na-channels in the epileptic foci, stimulation of GABA-
ergic inhibitory mechanisms

The principles of correct usage of anticonvulsants:
- Individually assemble the necessary combination of drugs;
- Increase the dose gradually;
- Evaluate the effectiveness of drugs in a few weeks of treatment
(number of convulsions should decrease by 50%);
- If necessary to make the gradual replacement of one drug,
reducing its dose, the second (in increasing doses);
- Conduct continuous therapy (discontinuation of the drug allowed
after 4-5 years in the absence of pathological changes in
electroencephalogram).

Drugs used to treat Parkinson disease and syndrome of
parkinsonism, including medicinal parkinsonism.
Mechanism of action
At these diseases in the CNS is disturbed balance of neurotransmitters:
the quantity of dopamine and acetylcholine content is increased. These
means restoring the balance between dopaminergic and cholinergic brain
systems.
The mechanism of action of drugs are divided into:
I. Anticholinergic - blocking the central (reducing the influence of
acetylcholine in the CNS) and peripheral M-cholinoreceptors.
II. Dopaminergic - restore the dopamine deficiency in the CNS.
III. Antyglutamatergic - reduce the exciting action of glutamate neurons
in the CNS, which develop on the background of dopaminergic system
failure.
