Melperone (Bunil (PT), Buronil (AT, BE, CZ, DK, FI, NL, NO, SE), Eunerpan (DE))[1] is an atypical antipsychotic of the butyrophenone chemical class, making it structurally related to the typical antipsychotic haloperidol. It first entered clinical use in 1960s.[2]

Marketing and indications

It has been tried in treatment-resistant cases of schizophrenia with some (albeit limited) success.[2][3][4][5] It has also been reported effective in the treatment of L-DOPA and other forms of psychosis in Parkinson's disease[6] (although a multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in 2012 failed to support these findings[7]). It is also known to possess anxiolytic properties.[8] It is marketed in the following countries:[1][9]

Adverse effects

Melperone is reported to produce significantly less weight gain than clozapine and approximately as much weight gain as typical antipsychotics.[10] It is also purported to produce around as much prolactin secretion as clozapine (which is virtually nil).[11] It is also purported to produce sedative effects[12] and QT interval prolongation.[13] It is also known to produce less extrapyramidal side effects than the first-generation (typical) antipsychotic, thiothixene.[14] It can also produce (usually relatively mild) dry mouth.[15]

Other common adverse effects include[16][17][18]

  • Seizures (probably rare/uncommon)
  • Increased intraocular pressure
  • Intrahepatic cholestasis (probably rare)
  • Orthostatic hypotension (probably common)
  • Arrhythmias
  • Rash
  • Hyperprolactinemia (which can lead to e.g. galactorrhea, gynecomastia)
  • Weight gain
  • Increased appetite

Interactions

Melperone is reported to be a CYP2D6 inhibitor.[19][20][21]

Pharmacology

Melperone binds to the dopamine D2 receptor, just like all other clinically utilized antipsychotics, but it does so with a very low affinity and hence may be liable to rapidly dissociate from the D2 receptor hence potentially giving it the profile of an atypical antipsychotic.[22]
