Identification
Name Acetophenazine
Accession Number DB01063 (APRD00462)
Type small molecule
Description Acetophenazine is an antipsychotic drug of moderate-potency. It is used in the treatment of disorganized and psychotic thinking. It is also used to help treat false perceptions (e.g. hallucinations or delusions). It primarily targets the dopamine D2 receptor.

Pharmacology
Indication For the treatment of disorganized and psychotic thinking. Also used to help treat false perceptions (e.g. hallucinations or delusions.)
Mechanism of action Acetophenazine blocks postsynaptic mesolimbic dopaminergic D1 and D2 receptors in the brain; depresses the release of hypothalamic and hypophyseal hormones and is believed to depress the reticular activating system thus affecting basal metabolism, body temperature, wakefulness, vasomotor tone, and emesis.

Interactions
Drug Interactions
Drug Mechanism of interaction
Bromocriptine The phenothiazine decreases the effect of bromocriptine
Cisapride Increased risk of cardiotoxicity and arrhythmias
Dexfenfluramine Decreased anorexic effect, may increase psychotic symptoms
Diethylpropion Decreased anorexic effect, may increase psychotic symptoms
Fenfluramine Decreased anorexic effect, may increase psychotic symptoms
Guanethidine Acetophenazine may decrease the effect of guanethidine.
Mazindol Decreased anorexic effect, may increase psychotic symptoms
Phentermine Decreased anorexic effect, may increase psychotic symptoms
Phenylpropanolamine Decreased anorexic effect, may increase psychotic symptoms
Tacrine The therapeutic effects of the central acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI), Tacrine, and/or the anticholinergic/antipsychotic, Acetophenazine, may be reduced due to antagonism. This interaction may be beneficial when the anticholinergic action is a side effect. AChEIs may also augment the central neurotoxic effect of antipsychotics. Monitor for extrapyramidal symptoms and decreased efficacy of both agents.
Terfenadine Increased risk of cardiotoxicity and arrhythmias
Tetrabenazine May cause dopamine deficiency. Monitor for Tetrabenazine adverse effects. Similar pharmacologic properties thus combination therapy will worsen the severity of sedative, parkinsonian, and extrapyramidal adverse effects.
Trimethobenzamide Trimethobenzamide and Acetophenazine, two anticholinergics, may cause additive anticholinergic effects and enhance their adverse/toxic effects. Monitor for enhanced anticholinergic effects.
Triprolidine The antihistamine, Triprolidine, may increase the arrhythmogenic effect of the phenothiazine, Acetophenazine. Monitor for symptoms of ventricular arrhythmias. Additive anticholinergic and CNS depressant effects may also occur. Monitor for enhanced anticholinergic and CNS depressant effects.
Trospium Trospium and Acetophenazine, two anticholinergics, may cause additive anticholinergic effects and enhanced adverse/toxic effects. Monitor for enhanced anticholinergic effects.
