Antipsychotics. ATX code N05A H03.
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics.
Olanzapine is an antipsychotic, antimanic, mood-stabilizing drug with a broad spectrum of pharmacological action due to exposure to various receptors.
The affinity of olanazpine with some receptors (Ki; <100 nM) – serotonin 5HT2A / 2C, 5-HT3, 5-HT6; dopamine D1, D2, D3, D4, D5; cholinergic muscarinic receptors m1-m5; adrenergic α1 receptor and histamine H1 receptor. Electrophysiological studies have shown that olanzapine selectively reduces the excitability of mesolimbic (A10) dopaminergic neurons, with little effect on the striatal (A9) pathways associated with motor function. Olanzapine inhibits the conditioned avoidance reflex, indicating its antipsychotic activity at doses lower than those causing catalepsy, which is a sign of motor side effects. Unlike some other antipsychotic drugs, olanzapine enhances responses to stimuli during an anxiolytic test.
