title: CSF monoamine metabolism in patients with tardive dyskinesia: effect of oxypertine and hydroxyzine pamoate.
abstract: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) HVA, MHPG, 5-HIAA, cAMP and cGMP concentrations were measured in schizophrenic patients with tardive dyskinesia before and after a three-week administration of oxypertine (n = 4), hydroxyzine pamoate (n = 4) or placebo (n = 4). The oxypertine administration resulted in a reduction of the CSF HVA concentration and an elevation of the MHPG and cAMP concentrations, associated with a clinical improvement in tardive dyskinesia. The hydroxyzine administration reduced the CSF 5-HIAA concentration in all the patients and the CSF HVA concentration in two of four patients with a clinical improvement. A reduction in the CSF HVA concentration associated with possible therapeutic effects of oxypertine or hydroxyzine may suggest the normalization of a hyperdopaminergic state. Discussions were held that functional disorders of not only the dopaminergic system but the norepinephrinergic and serotoninergic systems may relate to the pathogenesis of tardive dyskinesia.
