DrugBank Accession Number
DB06077
Background

Schizophrenia is a complex mental illness and impacts approximately 1% of the population.7 Although there are several antipsychotics including aripiprazole, paliperidone and clozapine available for clinical use, they are generally accompanied by significant metabolic and/or neurological adverse effects.1

Lumateperone is a newly approved 2nd generation antipsychotic currently indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia.1 It has a unique receptor binding profile and differs from other antipsychotics in that it modulates glutamate, serotonin and dopamine, which are all neurotransmitters that contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.1,5

The data so far indicates that lumateperone can alleviate both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.1 Further, not only is the new antipsychotic selective for dopamine (D2) receptors in the mesolimbic and mesocortical brain regions, but it also has minimal off-target activity.1 Both characteristics lend to a more favourable adverse effect profile and ultimately safer drug.1,8

Pharmacodynamics

Lumateperone, also known as ITI-007, is an atypical antipsychotic that has proven to be effective in the treatment of schizophrenia.1 Lumateperone's receptor binding profile is unique, allowing it to target schizophrenia related symptoms while minimizing adverse effects.1,5 In contrast to other second generation antipsychotics such as lurasidone and brexpiprazole, lumateperone behaves as a partial agonist and as an antagonist at pre and postynaptic dopamine (D2) receptors respectively.1

Patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B or C) tend to have higher plasma concentrations of lumateperone than those with normal hepatic function. For this reason, patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment should receive half the recommended daily dosage.6

Mechanism of action

There is much to learn about the pathophysiology of schizophrenia; however, dopamine abnormalities, specifically in the prefrontal and mesolimbic brain regions, are consistent in people with schizophrenia.2 In addition to dopamine, other neurotransmitters such as serotonin, glutamate, GABA and acetylcholine are thought to play a role.2

Lumateperone is unique among second generation antipsychotics based on its target profile and dopamine D2 receptor occupancy.1,3 Unlike other antipsychotics, lumateperone has partial agonist activity at presynaptic dopamine (D2) receptors, resulting in reduced presynaptic release of dopamine, and antagonistic activity at postsynaptic dopamine (D2) receptors.3 These characteristics allow lumateperone to efficiently reduce dopamine signaling.3

Lumateperone also targets dopamine (D1) receptors, and a useful secondary result of D1 activation is increased glutamatergic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) GluN2B receptor phosphorylation.1,3,4 This is significant since NMDA mediated glutamate signaling appears to be impaired in patients who have schizophrenia.1

Finally, lumateperone is capable of modulating serotonin by inhibiting serotonin transporters (SERT), and by behaving as a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist.3

Absorption

Lumateperone is able to permeate multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) and is very lipophilic at a pH of 7.4, which are characteristics that allow the antipsychotic to be absorbed in the small intestine and the blood brain barrier.1 Tmax occurs 3-4 hours after oral administration.1

Volume of distribution

The volume of distribution of lumateperone is approximately 4.1 L/Kg after intravenous administration.6

Protein binding

Lumateperone is approximately 97.4% plasma protein bound.1,6

Metabolism

Lumateperone is extensively metabolized. The carbonyl side chain is reduced by ketone reductase to produce the primary active metabolite.1,3 Cytochrome P450 3A4 enzymes metabolize lumateperone to 2 metabolites: the active N-desmethylated carbonyl metabolite (IC200161) or the N-desmethylated alcohol metabolite (IC200565).1,3

Route of elimination

Due to it's molecular weight, virtually all unchanged lumateperone is excreted in the feces.6,1 Lumateperone's metabolites are very water soluble which is a property that allows for complete elimination.1 Approximately 58% of a lumateperone dose can be recovered in the urine, while 29% can be recovered in the feces.6

Half-life

Lumateperone's half life is reported to be between 13 to 18 hours.1,6 The reported half lives of the metabolites ICI200161 and ICI200131, are 20 and 21 hours respectively.1

Clearance

Lumateperone's clearance is estimated to be 27.9 L/hour.6

Toxicity

Neonates exposed to antipsychotic drugs during the third trimester are at risk for extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms following delivery. Available data from case reports on lumateperone use in pregnant women are insufficient to establish any drug associated risks for birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother associated with untreated schizophrenia and with exposure to antipsychotics, including lumateperone, during pregnancy. In animal reproduction studies, no malformations were observed with oral administration of lumateperone to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to 2.4 and 9.7 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 42 mg/day on a mg/m2 basis. When pregnant rats were administered lumateperone during the period of organogenesis through lactation, the number of perinatal deaths of pups was increased at 4.9 times the MRHD, with no adverse effects on pups at 2.4 times the MRHD.9

Based on findings from animal studies, lumateperone may impair male and female fertility.9

No specific antidotes for CAPLYTA are known. In managing overdose, provide supportive care, including close medical supervision and monitoring and consider the possibility of multiple drug involvement. In case of overdose, consult a Certified Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222 or www.poison.org).9

Lifetime carcinogenicity studies were conducted in rats and mice, and results showed no carcinogenic potential in either species. No evidence of mutagenic potential was found in the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) and the mouse lymphoma test without metabolic activation. Lumateperone was positive in the Ames test only in the presence of metabolic activation and only in the TA1537 strain and was positive in the mouse lymphoma test only in the presence of metabolic activation and only at high concentrations that inhibited cell growth; together these results were thought to be related to solubility limits and/or nonspecific effects on cellular function. Lumateperone was negative for clastogenic activity in the in vivo micronucleus assay in rats and was not genotoxic in the in vivo Comet assay in rats.9

General Function
Serotonin transporter that cotransports serotonin with one Na(+) ion in exchange for one K(+) ion and possibly one proton in an overall electroneutral transport cycle. Transports serotonin across the plasma membrane from the extracellular compartment to the cytosol thus limiting serotonin intercellular signaling (PubMed:10407194, PubMed:12869649, PubMed:21730057, PubMed:27049939, PubMed:27756841, PubMed:34851672). Essential for serotonin homeostasis in the central nervous system. In the developing somatosensory cortex, acts in glutamatergic neurons to control serotonin uptake and its trophic functions accounting for proper spatial organization of cortical neurons and elaboration of sensory circuits. In the mature cortex, acts primarily in brainstem raphe neurons to mediate serotonin uptake from the synaptic cleft back into the pre-synaptic terminal thus terminating serotonin signaling at the synapse (By similarity). Modulates mucosal serotonin levels in the gastrointestinal tract through uptake and clearance of serotonin in enterocytes. Required for enteric neurogenesis and gastrointestinal reflexes (By similarity). Regulates blood serotonin levels by ensuring rapid high affinity uptake of serotonin from plasma to platelets, where it is further stored in dense granules via vesicular monoamine transporters and then released upon stimulation (PubMed:17506858, PubMed:18317590). Mechanistically, the transport cycle starts with an outward-open conformation having Na1(+) and Cl(-) sites occupied. The binding of a second extracellular Na2(+) ion and serotonin substrate leads to structural changes to outward-occluded to inward-occluded to inward-open, where the Na2(+) ion and serotonin are released into the cytosol. Binding of intracellular K(+) ion induces conformational transitions to inward-occluded to outward-open and completes the cycle by releasing K(+) possibly together with a proton bound to Asp-98 into the extracellular compartment. Na1(+) and Cl(-) ions remain bound throughout the transport cycle (PubMed:10407194, PubMed:12869649, PubMed:21730057, PubMed:27049939, PubMed:27756841, PubMed:34851672). Additionally, displays serotonin-induced channel-like conductance for monovalent cations, mainly Na(+) ions. The channel activity is uncoupled from the transport cycle and may contribute to the membrane resting potential or excitability (By similarity)

General Function
Component of NMDA receptor complexes that function as heterotetrameric, ligand-gated ion channels with high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. Channel activation requires binding of the neurotransmitter glutamate to the epsilon subunit, glycine binding to the zeta subunit, plus membrane depolarization to eliminate channel inhibition by Mg(2+) (PubMed:26875626, PubMed:26919761, PubMed:28126851, PubMed:8768735). Sensitivity to glutamate and channel kinetics depend on the subunit composition (PubMed:26875626, PubMed:8768735). In concert with DAPK1 at extrasynaptic sites, acts as a central mediator for stroke damage. Its phosphorylation at Ser-1303 by DAPK1 enhances synaptic NMDA receptor channel activity inducing injurious Ca2+ influx through them, resulting in an irreversible neuronal death. Contributes to neural pattern formation in the developing brain. Plays a role in long-term depression (LTD) of hippocampus membrane currents and in synaptic plasticity (By similarity)

General Function
G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) (PubMed:1330647, PubMed:18703043, PubMed:19057895, PubMed:21645528, PubMed:22300836, PubMed:35084960, PubMed:38552625). Also functions as a receptor for various drugs and psychoactive substances, including mescaline, psilocybin, 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI) and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) (PubMed:28129538, PubMed:35084960). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors (PubMed:28129538, PubMed:35084960). HTR2A is coupled to G(q)/G(11) G alpha proteins and activates phospholipase C-beta, releasing diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) second messengers that modulate the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and promote the release of Ca(2+) ions from intracellular stores, respectively (PubMed:18703043, PubMed:28129538, PubMed:35084960). Beta-arrestin family members inhibit signaling via G proteins and mediate activation of alternative signaling pathways (PubMed:28129538, PubMed:35084960). Affects neural activity, perception, cognition and mood (PubMed:18297054). Plays a role in the regulation of behavior, including responses to anxiogenic situations and psychoactive substances. Plays a role in intestinal smooth muscle contraction, and may play a role in arterial vasoconstriction (By similarity)
