Abstract
No single neurotransmitter aberration could explain the heterogeneity of schizophrenia syndrome and thus, treatment strategies capitalizing solely on a single neurotransmitter system (e.g., DA blockade) is less likely to be fully successful on clinical grounds. Hence, there is a pressing need to develop newer antipsychotics above and beyond DA antagonism. In this regard, authors brief on five agents that sound pretty promising and might usher in a new sparkle in the psychopharmacotherapy of schizophrenia. This paper is a sequel for authors' previous article on future of schizophrenia psychopharmacotherapy.
没有一种单一的神经递质畸变可以解释精神分裂症综合征的异质性,因此,仅利用单一神经递质系统(如 DA 阻断)的治疗策略不太可能在临床上取得完全成功。因此,亟需开发出DA拮抗之外的新型抗精神病药物。在这方面,作者简要介绍了五种听起来很有前景的药物,它们可能会为精神分裂症的精神药物治疗带来新的火花。本文是作者上一篇关于精神分裂症精神药物疗法未来的文章的续篇。
