Application

Pipamperone dihydrochloride may be used:
  • as an internal standard in liquid chromatography with coulometric detection
  • as an antipsychotic drugs to test its interaction with human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) channel
  • as an internal standard to spike human colostrum samples for reversed phase liquid chromatography- ultraviolet (LC-UV) analysis

Biochem/physiol Actions

D2 dopamine receptor antagonist; 5-HT2 serotonin receptor antagonist; antipsychotic.
Pipamperone, a butyrophenone derivative is a pharmacological chaperone and is a membrane-permeable dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) antagonist. The affinity of pipamperone is higher for DRD4 and 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor (5-HT2A) in comparison with DRD2. It may be useful therapeutic in treating behavioral disorders and psychomotor agitation symptoms.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors take several weeks to achieve their full antidepressant effects. Post-synaptic 5-HT2A receptor activation is thought to be involved in this delayed therapeutic effect. Pipamperone acts as a highly selective 5-HT2A/D4 antagonist when administered in low doses.

Blockade of human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) potassium channels is an undesirable activity of many drugs because it may be the primary cause for the prolongation of the QT interval, which appears to be associated with the induction of potentially life-threatening

Hair samples of patients of psychiatry and hair samples of suicide cases were analysed by liquid-chromatography/ionspray-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) for antidepressants and neuroleptics. Electrospray ionisation (ESI) with in-source collision induced dissociation (ESI/CID) and tandem-mass spectrometry (MS/MS) were used for drug and

A sensitive and reproducible high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of pipamperone (1'-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutyl]-[1,4'-bipiperidine]-4'- carboxamide, Dipiperon, CAS 1893-33-0) in plasma samples. Pipamperone and its internal standard (piritramide or 1'-(3-cyano-3,3-diphenylpropyl)-[1,4'-bipiperidine]-4'-carbo xamide) were extracted from alkalinized plasma by liquid-liquid
