Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ziprazidone is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia, and acute mania and mixed states associated with bipolar disorder. Its intramuscular injection form is approved for acute agitation in schizophrenic patients for whom treatment with just ziprasidone is appropriate. The mechanism of action of ziprasidone, as with other drugs having efficacy in schizophrenia, is unknown. However, it has been proposed that this drug's efficacy in schizophrenia is mediated through a combination of dopamine type 2 (D2) and serotonin type 2 (5HT2) antagonism. As with other drugs having efficacy in bipolar disorder, the mechanism of action of ziprasidone in bipolar disorder is unknown.

Biological target:
Ziprasidone, an antipsychotic agent, is a combined 5-HT (serotonin) and dopamine receptor antagonist. Ziprasidone has high affinity for rat (Ki: 3.4 nM)/human (2.5 nM) 5-HT1A receptors, 5-HT2A (0.42 nM), and dopamine D2 receptors (4.8 nM).
In vitro activity:
The effect of ziprasidone, a widely used treatment for schizophrenia, on voltage-dependent K+ (Kv) channels of coronary arterial smooth muscle cells was investigated using the patch-clamp technique. Ziprasidone dose-dependently inhibited Kv channels with an IC50 value of 0.39 ± 0.06 μM and a Hill coefficient of 0.62 ± 0.03. Although ziprasidone had no effect on the steady-state inactivation kinetics of the Kv channels, the steady-state activation curve shifted towards a more positive potential. These results suggest that ziprasidone inhibits Kv channels by targeting their voltage sensors. The recovery time constant of Kv channel inactivation was increased in the presence of ziprasidone. Furthermore, application of train steps (of 1 and 2 Hz) in the presence of ziprasidone led to a progressive increase in the blockade of Kv currents, suggesting that ziprasidone-induced inhibition of Kv channels is use (state)-dependent. Pretreatment with Kv1.5, Kv2.1, and Kv7 subtype inhibitors partially suppressed the ziprasidone-induced inhibition of Kv currents. These results suggest that ziprasidone inhibits vascular Kv channels through its effect on gating properties. The Kv channel-inhibiting action of ziprasidone is concentration- and use (state)-depedent.

In vivo activity:
The effects of ziprasidone on resting energy expenditure, physical activity, thermogenesis, food intake, and weight gain was examined in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Ziprasidone (20 mg/kg) or vehicle was administered once daily for 7 weeks; and body weight, food intake, resting energy expenditure, locomotor activity, colonic temperature on cold exposure, and abdominal fat were measured. Compared with control animals, ziprasidone-treated rats gained significantly less weight (P = .031), had a lower level of physical activity (P = .016), showed a higher resting energy expenditure (P < .001), and displayed a greater capacity for thermogenesis when subjected to cold (P < .001). In addition, ziprasidone-treated rats had a lower level of abdominal fat than did controls, although the difference was not significant. Ziprasidone had no effect on food intake. These results indicate that, in female Sprague-Dawley rats, a 7-week treatment regimen of ziprasidone induces a significant decrease in weight gain by increasing resting energy expenditure without decreasing food intake and even with a lower level of physical activity. Further studies are needed to elucidate the precise mechanism of lower propensity of weight gain of ziprasidone.
