Blonanserin

Blonanserin was approved by Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan (PMDA) on January 25, 2008. It was developed and marketed as Lonasen® by Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma in JP.

Blonanserin acts as a mixed 5-HT2A (Ki=0.812 nM) and D2 receptor (Ki=0.142 nM) antagonist and also exerts some blockade of α1-adrenergic receptors (Ki = 26.7 nM). It lacks significant affinity for numerous other sites including the 5-HT1A, 5-HT3, D1, α2-adrenergic, β-adrenergic, H1, and mACh receptors and the monoamine transporters, though it does possess low affinity for the sigma receptor (IC50 = 286 nM). It is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia.

Lonasen® is available as tablet and powder for oral use, containing 2 mg, 4 mg or 8 mg for tablet or 2% for powder of free Blonanserin. In general, the recommended dose for adults is 4 mg at a time, twice a day after meals. Then, increase the dose in incremental steps.
