| Research Abstract |
This study was undertaken to examine the metabolic enzyme system involved in the formation neurotoxic pyridinium metabolite derived from antipsychotic agent haloperidol (HP) . The results from metabolic studies have demonstrated that HP is oxidatively converted to the pyridinium metabolite, 4- (4-chlorophenyl) -1- [4- (4-fluorophenyl) -4-oxobutyl] pyridinium species (HPP^+) , which structurally resenbles the dopaminergic neurotoxin, 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium species (MPP^+) . The conversion is mediated by the CYP3A isoform of cytochrome P450 in liver microsomes of animals and humans. Moreover, the results from incubation with rat brain homogenate have showned that HP is partially oxidized to pyridinium metabolite HPP^+ by peroxygenase system. HPP^+ levels in rat brain increased gradually after intraperitoneal administration of HP.In addition, in vivo microdialysis techniques revealed HPP^+ in rat brain following administration of HP.
These results suggest thst HPP^+ is not formed in the brain but also it may have been formed peripherally and then transported through the blood-brain barrier.
