Polygenic overlap with granulocyte counts identifies novel loci for clozapine metabolism and clozapine-induced agranulocytosis.

While clozapine is the most effective antipsychotic drug, its use is limited due to hematological adverse effects involving the reduction of granulocyte counts with potential life-threatening agranulocytosis. It is not yet possible to predict or prevent the risk of agranulocytosis, and the mechanisms are unknown but likely related to clozapine metabolism. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of clozapine metabolism and clozapine-induced agranulocytosis have identified few genetic loci.

Background: Clozapine exhibits significant therapeutic efficacy in schizophrenia, especially treatment-resistant schizophrenia. However, clozapine can cause agranulocytosis, a fatal adverse effect, and the aim of this study is to explore this mechanism based on network pharmacology and molecular docking.

Method: Six and two databases were used to identify targets associated with clozapine and agranulocytosis, respectively.

Network pharmacology and molecular docking to explore mechanisms of clozapine-induced cardiac arrest.

Background: Clozapine is superior to all other antipsychotics in treating schizophrenia in terms of its curative efficacy; however, this drug is prescribed only as a last resort in the treatment of schizophrenia, given its potential to induce cardiac arrest. The mechanism of clozapine-induced cardiac arrest remains unclear, so we aimed to elucidate the potential mechanisms of clozapine-induced cardiac arrest using network pharmacology and molecular docking.

Methods: We identified and analyzed the overlap between potential cardiac arrest-related target genes and clozapine target genes.

Background: Clozapine has demonstrated efficacy in treating treatment-resistant schizophrenia; however, it has a wide range of side effects. Sialorrhea is a common side effect of clozapine that causes the patient to withdraw from social life. This review aims to evaluate and summarize the prevalence, mechanism, risk factors, and management of clozapine-associated sialorrhea.

Introduction And Objectives: Clozapine is the antipsychotic medication with the greatest efficacy in treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS). Unfortunately, clozapine is ceased in approximately 0.2% to 8.
