Risperidone is useful for the treatment of schizophrenia symptoms; however, it also has side effects, and an overdose can be harmful. The metabolic effects of risperidone at high therapeutic doses and its metabolites have not been elucidated. Endogenous cellular metabolites may be comprehensively analyzed using untargeted metabolomics-based liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), which can reveal changes in cell regulation and metabolic pathways.

Brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVECs) from the blood- brain barrier form a highly selective membrane that protects the brain from circulating blood and maintains a stable microenvironment for the central nervous system. BMVEC dysfunction has been implicated in a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Clozapine, a widely used antipsychotics, has been demonstrated to alter the permeability of BMVECs, but the underlying mechanisms of this effect are not fully understood.
