Article Abstract
Dibenzo- and benzindolo-azecines represent a class of potential neuroleptics. To characterize the effectiveness at the dopamine and 5-HT-receptor representative structures were synthesized and tested by radio ligand binding studies, in vivo and in vitro studies.Neuroleptic potency and the risk of side effects of the prodrug 7-methyl-5,6,7,8,9,14-hexahydrodibenzo[d,g]azecin-3-yl isobutyrate, an ester derivative of the most promising azecine 7-methyl-5,6,7,8,9,14-hexahydrodibenzo[d,g]azecin-3-ol (LE404), was tested in vivo concerning conditioned avoidance response inhibition, locomotor activity and triggering of catalepsy vs. haloperidol as a reference. Also ester hydrolysis was examined using porcine liver esterase to thereby obtain an indication of the stability of the prodrug in vivo. An HPLC method was developed for purity control and determination of octanol/water-distribution coefficients.It has been shown that the tested substances in their efficacy are comparable to haloperidol and risperidone, but the therapeutic index in most cases is larger. Esterification as a prodrug principle leads to significantly prolonged effectiveness.

An alternative approach to diagnosis and treatment of intractable paroxysmal sneezing in a child.

Background: Intractable paroxysmal sneezing is a rare and diagnostically challenging condition in children, often mimicking organic diseases. While it is often addressed as psychogenic in the literature, our case presented findings suggestive of a tic disorder, highlighting the need for a broader diagnostic perspective.
Case Presentation: An 11-year-old girl was referred to the child and adolescent psychiatry clinic with a one-year history of persistent and fluctuating sneezing episodes.

Background: Abnormal blood test results are common in both primary and specialist health care. The cause is often multifactorial, and investigations are often conducted across various specialties. We present a patient with incidental disturbances in the blood count with a serious causal relationship.

Background: After remission of a first-episode psychosis (FEP), antipsychotic discontinuation is associated with an increased risk of relapse compared to maintenance treatment. We studied short and longer-term effects of discontinuation of D receptor (DR) antagonist and partial agonist antipsychotics on striatal dopamine DR availability in FEP patients.
Methods: Remitted FEP patients underwent two [C]raclopride PET scans to measure striatal DR availability: 1 week after antipsychotic discontinuation (n = 16 antagonist users, n = 6 partial agonist users) and after being medication free for 6-8 weeks (n = 8 antagonist users, n = 5 partial agonist users).

Introduction: Risperidone is approved for behaviors and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), despite modest efficacy and known risks. Identifying responsive symptoms, treatment modifiers, and predictors is crucial for personalized treatment.
Method: A one-stage individual participant data meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials (risperidone: n = 1009; placebo: N = 712) was conducted.
"A hard pill to swallow": a case series of chlorpromazine-induced priapism.

Priapism is a rare but potentially serious adverse effect of several medications including chlorpromazine, which is commonly used in the treatment of refractory migraine. We describe three cases of ischaemic priapism occurring in men following intravenous chlorpromazine administration for migraine relief. These cases highlight an important but under-recognised complication that can result in long-term erectile dysfunction if not promptly managed.
