Abstract
18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) is an oleane-type pentacyclic triterpene saponin obtained from glycyrrhizic acid by removing 2 glucuronic acid groups. GA and its analogues are active substances of glycyrrhiza aicd, with similar structure and important pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetes, anti-tumor and anti-fibrosis. Although GA combined compounds are in the clinical trial stages, its application potential is severely restricted by its low bioavailability, water solubility and membrane permeability. In this article, synthetic methods and structure-activity relationships (SARs) of GA derivatives from 2018 to present are reviewed based on pharmacological activity. It is hoped that this review can provide reference for the future development of potential GA preclinical candidate compounds, and furnish ideas for the development of pentacyclic triterpenoid lead compounds.

Front Psychiatry 2024; 15:1337274. [PMID: 38505795 PMCID: PMC10948402 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2024.1337274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Hyperprolactinemia is a common antipsychotic-induced adverse event in psychiatric patients, and the quality of clinical studies investigating the best treatments has varied. Thus, to better summarize the clinical evidence, we performed an umbrella review of overlapping systematic reviews and meta-analyses for the treatment of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. Methods The PubMed, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Scopus and EMBASE were searched, and reviews and meta-analyses meeting our inclusion criteria were selected. Relevant data were extracted, and an umbrella review was conducted of all included meta-analyses. The quality of included meta-analyses was assessed by using PRISMA scores and AMSTAR 2 quality evaluation. Finally, the clinical evidence for appropriate treatments was summarized and discussed. Results Five meta-analyses published between 2013 and 2020 met the requirements for inclusion in this umbrella review. The PRISMA scores of the included meta-analyses ranged from 19.5-26. AMSTAR 2 quality evaluation showed that 2 of the 5 included meta-analyses were of low quality and 3 were of very low quality. The included meta-analyses provide clinical evidence that adding aripiprazole or a dopamine agonist can effectively and safely improve antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. Two meta-analyses also showed that adjunctive metformin can reduce serum prolactin level, but more clinical trials are needed to confirm this finding. Conclusion Adjunctive dopamine agonists have been proven to be effective and safe for the treatment of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. Among the researched treatments, adding aripiprazole may be the most appropriate.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Despite clear evidence that sex differences largely impact the efficacy and tolerability of antipsychotic medication, current treatment guidelines for schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) do not differentiate between men and women. This review summarizes the available evidence on strategies that may improve pharmacotherapy for women and provides evidence-based recommendations to optimize treatment for women with schizophrenia. RECENT FINDINGS We systematically searched PubMed and Embase for peer-reviewed studies on three topics: (1) sex differences in dose-adjusted antipsychotic serum concentrations, (2) hormonal augmentation therapy with estrogen and estrogen-like compounds to improve symptom severity, and (3) strategies to reduce antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. Based on three database studies and one RCT, we found higher dose-adjusted concentrations in women compared to men for most antipsychotics. For quetiapine, higher concentrations were specifically found in older women. Based on two recent meta-analyses, both estrogen and raloxifene improved overall symptomatology. Most consistent findings were found for raloxifene augmentation in postmenopausal women. No studies evaluated the effects of estrogenic contraceptives on symptoms. Based on two meta-analyses and one RCT, adjunctive aripiprazole was the best-studied and safest strategy for lowering antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. Evidence-based recommendations for female-specific pharmacotherapy for SSD consist of (1) female-specific dosing for antipsychotics (guided by therapeutic drug monitoring), (2) hormonal replacement with raloxifene in postmenopausal women, and (3) aripiprazole addition as best evidenced option in case of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. Combining these strategies could reduce side effects and improve outcome of women with SSD, which should be confirmed in future longitudinal RCTs.

Antipsychotic Use and Risk of Low-Energy Fractures in People With Schizophrenia: A Nationwide Nested Case-Control Study in Finland. Schizophr Bull 2023; 49:78-89.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-energy fractures (LEF) are more frequent in people with schizophrenia than the general population, and the role of prolactin-increasing antipsychotics is unknown. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a nested case-control study using Finnish nationwide registers (inpatient, specialized outpatient care, prescription drug purchases). We matched each person with schizophrenia aged 16-85 years and incident LEF (cases) with 5 age/sex/illness duration-matched controls with schizophrenia, but no LEF. We investigated the association between cumulative exposure (duration, and Defined Daily Doses, DDDs) to prolactin-increasing/sparing antipsychotics and LEF. Adjusted conditional logistic regression analyses were performed. Sensitivity analyses were conducted. STUDY RESULTS Out of 61 889 persons with schizophrenia between 1972 and 2014, we included 4960 cases. Compared with 24 451 controls, 4 years or more of exposure to prolactin-increasing antipsychotics was associated with increased risk of LEF (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) from aOR = 1.22, 95%CI = 1.09-1.37 to aOR = 1.38, 95%CI = 1.22-1.57, for 4-< 7 />13 years of exposure, respectively), without a significant association for prolactin-sparing antipsychotics. All cumulative doses higher than 1000 DDDs of prolactin-increasing antipsychotics were associated with LEF (from aOR = 1.21, 95%CI = 1.11-1.33, 1000-<3000 DDDs, to aOR = 1.64, 95%CI = 1.44-1.88, >9000 DDDs). Only higher doses of prolactin-sparing antipsychotics reached statistical significance (aOR = 1.24, 95%CI = 1.01-1.52, 6000-<9000 DDDs, aOR = 1.45, 95%CI = 1.13-1.85, >9000 DDDs). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the main analyses for prolactin-increasing antipsychotics. For prolactin-sparing antipsychotics, significant associations were limited to extreme exposure, major LEF, older age group, and males. CONCLUSIONS Long-term exposure to prolactin-increasing antipsychotics at any dose, and high cumulative doses of prolactin-sparing antipsychotics is associated with significantly increased odds of LEF. Monitoring and addressing hyperprolactinemia is paramount in people with schizophrenia receiving prolactin-increasing antipsychotics.

Co-prescription of aripiprazole on prolactin levels in long-term hospitalized chronic schizophrenic patients with co-morbid type 2 diabetes: A retrospective clinical study. Front Psychiatry 2023; 14:1124691. [PMID: 36816406 PMCID: PMC9933920 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1124691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most frequent side effects of atypical antipsychotics is hyperprolactinemia (HPRL), and metformin or aripiprazole co-prescription is regarded as an effective therapy option for reducing prolactin (PRL) levels. However, whether either of the two drugs can reduce PRL levels in patients with long-term hospitalized chronic schizophrenia with co-morbid type 2 diabetes (T2DM) has not been adequately reported. METHODS In our study, long-term hospitalized chronic schizophrenia patients with co-T2DM who were prescribed olanzapine or risperidone as the primary antipsychotic medication were enrolled. A total of 197 of these cases with co-prescribed aripiprazole were set up as the study group (co-Ari group), and the other 204 cases without co-prescribed aripiprazole were set up as the control group (non-Ari group). The two groups' variations in each target parameter were compared, and the variables affecting PRL levels were examined. RESULTS Compared to the non-Ari group, fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood uric acid (UA), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were significantly higher in the co-Ari group, but there was no difference in PRL levels. Co-prescribing aripiprazole had no impact on PRL levels in all patients with co-T2DM, and aripiprazole dose had no impact on PRL levels in the clinical subgroup of the co-Ari group. CONCLUSION Aripiprazole not only worsened the severity of index disturbances associated to metabolism in long-term hospitalized chronic schizophrenia patients with co-T2DM on metformin-based hypoglycemic medications but also failed to lower PRL levels.

Abstract
Background Most antipsychotic drugs are dopamine receptor antagonists that usually lead to abnormal increases in prolactin concentrations and the development of hyperprolactinemia (HPRL), which in turn causes sexual dysfunction in patients. Peony-Glycyrrhiza Decoction (PGD) enhanced dopamine D2 receptors (DRD2) and dopamine transporter (DAT) and significantly reversed the expression of DRD2 and DAT. Therefore, we hypothesized that PGD might effectively improve hyperprolactinemia and alleviate sexual dysfunction in patients. Methods We performed an 8-week randomized controlled study on 62 subjects with schizophrenia who were randomized into two groups. The experimental group was treated with the PGD intervention, and the control group did not receive treatment. The primary outcome indicators were the levels of sex hormones and the total Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX) score. Results There was a significant difference in PRL levels between the two groups at weeks 4 and 8. From the beginning to the end of the experiment, there was a significant increase in PRL levels in the control group, while there was no significant change in the experimental group. The ASEX scale assessed sexual function in both groups, and patients in the experimental group showed an improvement in sexual function at week 8. During the experiment, the two groups found no differences between Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) scores. Conclusion PGD significantly improved the patient's sexual function but was less effective in reducing prolactin levels and may prevent further increases in prolactin levels.

Abstract
Antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia (AP-induced HPRL) occurs overall in up to 70% of patients with schizophrenia, which is associated with hypogonadism and sexual dysfunction. We summarized the latest evidence for the benefits of prolactin-lowering drugs. We performed network meta-analyses to summarize the evidence and applied Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation frameworks (GRADE) to rate the certainty of evidence, categorize interventions, and present the findings. The search identified 3,022 citations, 31 studies of which with 1999 participants were included in network meta-analysis. All options were not significantly better than placebo among patients with prolactin (PRL) less than 50 ng/ml. However, adjunctive aripiprazole (ARI) (5 mg: MD = -64.26, 95% CI = -87.00 to -41.37; 10 mg: MD = -59.81, 95% CI = -90.10 to -29.76; more than 10 mg: MD = -68.01, 95% CI = -97.12 to -39.72), switching to ARI in titration (MD = -74.80, 95% CI = -134.22 to -15.99) and adjunctive vitamin B6 (MD = -91.84, 95% CI = -165.31 to -17.74) were associated with significant decrease in AP-induced PRL among patients with PRL more than 50 ng/ml with moderated (adjunctive vitamin B6) to high (adjunctive ARI) certainty of evidence. Pharmacological treatment strategies for AP-induced HPRL depends on initial PRL level. No effective strategy was found for patients with AP-induced HPRL less than 50 ng/ml, while adjunctive ARI, switching to ARI in titration and adjunctive high-dose vitamin B6 showed better PRL decrease effect on AP-induced HPRL more than 50 ng/ml.
