Thioridazine (Mellaril or Melleril) is a first generation antipsychotic drug belonging to the phenothiazine drug group and was previously widely used in the treatment of schizophrenia and psychosis. The branded product was withdrawn worldwide in 2005 because it caused severe cardiac arrhythmias. However, generic versions are still available in the US.[2]

Indications

[edit]

Thioridazine was voluntarily discontinued by its manufacturer, Novartis, worldwide because it caused severe cardiac arrhythmias. However, generics remain on the market in some countries.[2][4][5][6]

Its primary use in medicine is for the treatment of schizophrenia.[7] It was also tried with some success as a treatment for various psychiatric symptoms seen in people with dementia,[8] but chronic use of thioridazine and other anti-psychotics in people with dementia is not recommended.[9] Generic forms of thioridazine remain on the market in a few countries, usually with restrictions due to the risk of arrhythmias. For example, in the US, it is restricted to patients who have taken at least 2 other antipsychotics that either failed or caused serious side effects.[10]

Side effects

[edit]
Further information: Phenothiazine

Thioridazine prolongs the QTc interval in a dose-dependent manner.[11] It produces significantly less extrapyramidal side effects than most first-generation antipsychotics, likely due to its potent anticholinergic effect.[12][13] Its use, along with the use of other typical antipsychotics, has been associated with degenerative retinopathies (specifically retinitis pigmentosa).[14] It has a higher propensity for causing anticholinergic side effects coupled with a lower propensity for causing extrapyramidal side effects and sedation than chlorpromazine, but also has a higher incidence of hypotension and cardiotoxicity.[15] It is also known to possess a relatively high liability for causing orthostatic hypotension compared to other antipsychotics. Similarly to other first-generation antipsychotics it has a relatively high liability for causing prolactin elevation. It is moderate risk for causing weight gain.[16] As with all antipsychotics thioridazine has been linked to cases of tardive dyskinesia (an often permanent neurological disorder characterised by slow, repetitive, purposeless and involuntary movements, most often of the facial muscles, that is usually brought on by years of continued treatment with antipsychotics, especially the first-generation (or typical) antipsychotics such as thioridazine) and neuroleptic malignant syndrome (a potentially fatal complication of antipsychotic treatment).[11] Blood dyscrasias such as agranulocytosis, leukopenia and neutropenia are possible with thioridazine treatment.[11] Thioridazine is also associated with abnormal retinal pigmentation after many years of use.[17] Thioridazine has been correlated to rare instances of clinically apparent acute cholestatic liver injury.[18]

Pharmacology

[edit]

Thioridazine has the following binding profile:[19]

Biologic Protein Binding affinity (Ki[nM]) Binding affinity of Mesoridazine (Ki [nM]) Binding affinity of Sulforidazine (Ki [nM]) Notes
SERT 1259 ND ND

5-HT1B 109 ND ND
5-HT1D 579 ND ND
5-HT1E 194 ND ND
5-HT2A 27.67 4.76 (HB) ND The ratio of 5-HT2A to D2 receptor binding is believed to dictate whether or not most antipsychotics are atypical or typical. In thioridazine's case its ratio of 5-HT2A to D2 receptor binding is below the level that's believed to be required for atypicality despite its relatively low extrapyramidal side effect liability in practice.[7]
5-HT2C 53 157 ND Believed to play a role in the weight gain-promoting effects of antipsychotics.[7]

M1 12.8 10 ND This receptor is believed to be the chief receptor responsible for the anticholinergic side effects of thioridazine (e.g. dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, etc.). Likely plays a role in thioridazine's low extrapyramidal side effect liability as anticholinergic drugs such as benzatropine are routinely given to treat extrapyramidal side effects resulting from antipsychotic treatment.[7]

Metabolism

[edit]

Thioridazine is a racemic compound with two enantiomers, both of which are metabolized, according to Eap et al., by CYP2D6 into (S)- and (R)-thioridazine-2-sulfoxide, better known as mesoridazine,[20] and into (S)- and (R)-thioridazine-5-sulfoxide.[21] Mesoridazine is in turn metabolized into sulforidazine.[22] Thioridazine is an inhibitor of CYP1A2 and CYP3A4.[23]

History

[edit]

The manufacturer Novartis/Sandoz/Wander of the brands of thioridazine, Mellaril in the US and Canada and Melleril in Europe, discontinued the drug worldwide in June 2005.[2][4]

Generic forms of thioridazine however remain on the market in a few countries usually with restrictions for example in the US its restricted to patients who have taken at least 2 other antipsychotics that either failed or caused serious side effects [10]

Antibiotic activity

[edit]

Thioridazine is known to kill extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis[24][25] and to make methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus sensitive to β-lactam antibiotics.[26][27] A possible mechanism of action for the drug's antibiotic activity is via the inhibition of bacterial secretion pumps. The β-lactam antibiotic resistance is due to the secretion β-lactamase a protein that destroys antibiotics. If the bacteria cannot secrete the β-lactamase, then the antibiotic will be effective.[25] The drug has been successfully used in the treatment of granulomatous amoebic encephalitis in conjunction with more conventional amoebicidal medications.

Synthesis

[edit]

Note: Same sidechain used for mesoridazine and sulforidazine.

Thieme Synthesis:[28] Patent:[29] Sidechain:[30] Enantiomers:[31]

The alkylation of 2-Picoline [109-06-8] (1) with formaldehyde gives 2-Pyridineethanol [103-74-2] (2). Forming the quat salt with methyl iodide [74-88-4] leads to 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-methyl-pyridinium iodide [56622-15-2] (3). Catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of hydrochloric acid leads to 2-(2-Chloroethyl)-1-Methylpiperidine [50846-01-0] (4). Alkylation of 2-Methylthiophenothiazine [7643-08-5] (5) in the presence of sodium hydride base completed the synthesis of Thioridazine (6).
