Gene Information

Application

Sertindole was used to study the role of 5-HT2C receptor in antipsychotic-induced body weight gain in rats.3

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sertindole readily passes the blood-brain barrier and is metabolized into compounds that show greater affinity for 5-HT2 receptors and less for D2 receptors. It is an effective treatment agent for schizophrenia as it improves cognitive impairment.1 Sertindole also acts as antagonist to human cardiac potassium channel, HERG and produces prolonged QT interval.2
Sertindole is a 5-HT2 serotonin and D2 dopamine receptor antagonist and antipsychotic.

Sensory gating, indexed by P50 suppression, and sensorimotor gating, indexed by prepulse inhibition (PPI), are impaired in schizophrenia spectrum disorders. There is considerable evidence that schizophrenia patients treated with atypical antipsychotics exhibit relatively less gating deficits than do other patients

Acquired long QT syndrome is a side effect seen with some pharmacological agents, including antipsychotic drugs, and is associated with the development of ventricular arrhythmias. This syndrome is often caused by the blockade of repolarizing potassium channels the human heart.

Sertindole is a non-sedating atypical antipsychotic agent with high selectivity for dopaminergic neurons in the mesolimbic system. In pivotal clinical trials, sertindole has demonstrated significantly greater efficacy than placebo against both the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. In addition

Cognitive deficits, including an impaired ability to shift perceptual attentional set, belong to the core features of schizophrenia, are associated with prefrontal cortical dysfunctions, and may involve glutamate NMDA receptors. Although phencyclidine disturbs cognitive flexibility, little is known about the

Body weight gain is a common side effect of treatment with antipsychotics, but the mechanisms underlying this weight gain are unknown. Several factors may be involved in antipsychotic-induced body weight gain including the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB(1)), the serotonin receptor
