HPP+, also known as haloperidol pyridinium, is a monoaminergic neurotoxin and a metabolite of haloperidol.[1][2][3]

Formation and metabolism

[edit]

HPP+ is formed from haloperidol, and its dehydration product HPTP, by CYP3A enzymes in the liver.[1][2][4] The compound can cross the blood–brain barrier and has been detected in the brain following haloperidol administration in both animals and humans.[2]

Neurotoxicity

[edit]

HPP+ is structurally related to the selective dopaminergic neurotoxin MPTP (and its active metabolite MPP+), which induces Parkinson's disease-like symptoms in humans.[1][2] HPP+ is a neurotoxin specifically affecting serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons, and its neurotoxicity resembles that of MPTP.[2]

Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS)

[edit]

HPP+ may contribute to the development of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) in patients undergoing long-term haloperidol therapy.[2] An alternative theory posits that these symptoms result from long-term dopamine receptor supersensitivity, rather than direct neurotoxicity.[2]

Discovery

[edit]

HPP+ was first identified as a neurotoxic metabolite of haloperidol in 1990 and 1991, many years after haloperidol was introduced clinically and following the discovery of MPTP.[2][5][6][7]

Additional metabolites

[edit]

Besides HPP+, another reactive metabolite of haloperidol, RHPP+, has been detected in humans.[1][2]
