Background

Pimavanserin is an atypical antipsychotic indicated for the treatment of psychiatric disorders.19 Although the exact mechanism of action is unknown, it is thought that pimavanserin interacts with the serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT2A and HT2C receptors.19 Unlike other atypical antipsychotics, pimavanserin lacks inherent dopaminergic activity. In fact, pimavanserin is the first antipsychotic drug without D2 blocking activity. Therefore, pimavanserin can be used to treat psychotic symptoms without causing extrapyramidal or worsening motor symptoms.6,3

Pimavanserin is marketed under the trade name NUPLAZID and developed by Acadia Pharmaceuticals.11 It was approved by the FDA in April 2016 for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson's disease psychosis thanks to favorable results from a pivotal six-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study.20,3 Pimavanserin was also under review as a potential treatment for dementia-related psychosis; however, as of April 2021, FDA approval has not been granted for this indication despite previous breakthrough designation.18

Pharmacodynamics

Pimavanserin's unique actions on serotonin receptors improve symptoms of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson's disease.2 In clinical studies, 80.5% of individuals treated with pimavanserin reported improvement in symptoms. Pimavanserin does not worsen motor functioning in patients with Parkinson's disease psychosis.9

In vitro, pimavanserin acts as an inverse agonist and antagonist at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors with high binding affinity (Ki value 0.087 nM) and at serotonin 5-HT2C receptors with lower binding affinity (Ki value 0.44 nM). Pimavanserin shows low binding to sigma 1 receptors (Ki value 120 nM) and has no appreciable affinity (Ki value >300 nM), to serotonin 5-HT2B, dopaminergic (including D2), muscarinic, histaminergic, or adrenergic receptors, or to calcium channels.19

The effect of pimavanserin on the QTc interval was evaluated in a randomized placebo- and positive-controlled double-blind, multiple-dose parallel thorough QTc study in 252 healthy subjects. A central tendency analysis of the QTc data at steady-state demonstrated that the maximum mean change from baseline (upper bound of the two-sided 90% CI) was 13.5 (16.6) msec at a dose of twice the therapeutic dose. A pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis with pimavanserin suggested a concentration-dependent QTc interval prolongation in the therapeutic range.19

In the 6-week, placebo-controlled effectiveness studies, mean increases in QTc interval of ~5-8 msec were observed in patients receiving once-daily doses of pimavanserin 34 mg. These data are consistent with the profile observed in a thorough QT study in healthy subjects. Sporadic QTcF values ≥500 msec and change from baseline values ≥60 msec were observed in subjects treated with pimavanserin 34 mg; although the incidence was generally similar for pimavanserin and placebo groups. There were no reports of torsade de pointes or any differences from placebo in the incidence of other adverse reactions associated with delayed ventricular repolarization in studies of pimavanserin, including those patients with hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis.19

Mechanism of action

Parkinson's disease psychosis (PDP) is an imbalance of serotonin and dopamine from disruption of the normal balance between the serotonergic and dopaminergic receptors and neurotransmitters in the brain.10

The mechanism by which pimavanserin treats hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis is not fully established. It is possible that pimavanserin acts via inverse agonist and antagonist activity at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors with limited effects on serotonin 5-HT2C receptors. Pimavanserin is an inverse agonist and antagonist of serotonin 5-HT2A receptors with high binding affinity, demonstrating low binding affinity to serotonin 5-HT2C receptors. In addition, this drug exhibits low affinity binding to sigma 1 receptors.14 Pimavanserin lacks activity at muscarinic, dopaminergic, adrenergic, and histaminergic receptors, preventing various undesirable effects typically associated with antipsychotics.9

Absorption

The median Tmax of pimavanserin in clinical studies was 6 hours, regardless of the dose. The bioavailability of an oral tablet of pimavanserin and a solution were almost identical.20 Ingestion of a high-fat meal had no significant effect on the rate (Cmax) and extent (AUC) of pimavanserin exposure. Cmax decreased by about 9% while AUC increased by about 8% with a high-fat meal.

The major active circulating N-desmethylated metabolite, AC-279, has a median Tmax of 6 hours.20

Volume of distribution

Following administration of a single dose of 34 mg, the average apparent volume of distribution was 2173 L in clinical studies.20

Protein binding

Pimavanserin is highly protein-bound (~95%) in human plasma. Protein binding appeared to be dose-independent and did not change significantly over dosing time from Day 1 to Day 14.20

Metabolism

Pimavanserin is mainly metabolized CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 hepatic cytochrome enzymes, and to a lesser extent by CYP2J2, CYP2D6, and other cytochrome and flavin-containing monooxygenase enzymes. CYP3A4 metabolizes pimavanserin to its major active metabolite, AC-279.14

Route of elimination

Approximately 0.55% of the 34 mg oral dose of 14C-pimavanserin was eliminated as unchanged drug in urine and 1.53% was eliminated in feces after 10 days. Less than 1% of the administered dose of pimavanserin and its active metabolite AC-279 were recovered in urine.20

Half-life

The average plasma half-lives for pimavanserin and its active metabolite (AC-279) are estimated at 57 hours and 200 hours, respectively.14

Toxicity

LD50 information for pimavanserin is not readily available in the literature. Pre-marketing clinical trials involving pimavanserin in approximately 1200 subjects and patients do not report symptoms of overdose. In healthy subject studies, nausea and vomiting were reported. There are no known antidotes for an overdose with this drug. Cardiovascular monitoring should begin immediately in the case of an overdose and continuous ECG monitoring is recommended. If antiarrhythmic drugs are administered in an overdose of pimavanserin, disopyramide, procainamide, and quinidine should not be used due to their potential for QT-prolonging effects. In the case of an overdose, consider the 57 hour plasma half-life of pimavanserin and the possibility of multiple drug involvement.14
