The invention is generally directed to a physiogenomic method for predicting diabetes and metabolic syndromes induced by psychotropic drugs. In one embodiment, the invention relates to the use of genetic variants of marker genes to predict the likelihood that an individual will experience undesirable metabolic side effects as a result of the use of a drug including, but not limited to, psychotropic drugs. The invention also relates to methods predicting the likelihood of diabetes and metabolic syndromes induced by the use of drugs with undesirable metabolic side effects.

A method for minimizing the weight gain side effect associated with ABILIFY® (aripiprazole) or GEODON® (ziprasidone) treatment is disclosed. In this method, metformin, a biguanide compound, is concurrently administered to a patient taking the ABILIFY® (aripiprazole) or GEODON® (ziprasidone) therapy. A pharmaceutical composition containing the combination of ABILIFY® (aripiprazole) or GEODON® (ziprasidone), together with metformin is also disclosed.

The invention belongs to the field of drug detection, and particularly relates to a method and a kit for detecting five psychotropic drugs and main metabolites thereof in blood. The five psychotropicdrugs and the main metabolites thereof comprise: olanzapine and demethyl olanzapine, risperidone and 9-hydroxy risperidone, aripiprazole and dehydrogenated aripiprazole, Escitalopram and demethyl citalopram, sertraline and N-demethyl sertraline. Accoridng to the method provided by the invention, a pair of quantitative ion pairs is respectively selected for each detection substance, a relative retention time thereof is used as a qualitative basis, and a standard curve is made by using a standard product for quantification; furthermore, the accuracy and effectiveness of the method are evaluatedfrom quality control of three low, middle and high levels, thereby avoiding distortion of the detection result; and meanwhile, an internal standard working solution is applied to correction, so that matrix effects can be avoided, and accurate quantification is realized. The method provided by the invention has the advantages of simple and rapid operation, high flux and low cost, and can be appliedto the therapeutic drug monitoring of the psychotropic drugs in the clinical work of the psychiatry department.

Disclosed is a topical composition including essential combination of synergistically acting phyto-active materials, non-psychotropic phytocannabinoids from the plant of Cannabis sativa: Cannabidiol, Cannabidiolic acid, Cannabivarin Cannabigerol in combination with extract of Calendula flower and the formulation of the base to ensure the features of anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, emollient, and bactericidal components.

The invention pertains generally to the field of psychotropic drug discovery and neuroscience. More specifically, the invention refers to a device that allows the long-term stimulation of cultured neurons grown on a silicon die, thereby replacing the use of intact animal models. The device consists of a controlled sterile environment in which the neuronal cultures can grow, and into which specific candidate compounds (e.g., psychotropic drugs) are added. During the period of growth, which can be extended for months, specifically tailored patterned activity can be applied to the neuronal network, simulating the activity normally found in a brain. The neuronal networks are grown on a silicon surface which is targeted by a light source, which functions to alter the connectivity of the surface below a specific group of cells. Cells on this targeted region are caused to fire on a brief electrical pulse. Upon completion of the growth period the silicon die can be removed and subject to electrophysiological and biochemical analysis.
