Paliperidone (3-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl]ethyl]-9-hydroxy-2-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one), also known as 9-hydroxyrisperidone, is the primary active metabolite of the atypical antipsychotic risperidone. Structurally, Paliperidone features a benzisoxazole ring system fused to a piperidine ring, connected via an ethyl linker to a tetrahydropyridopyrimidinone core bearing a hydroxy group at the 9-position.
Paliperidone is an atypical antipsychotic belonging to the chemical class of benzisoxazole derivatives. Paliperidone is the 9-hydroxy metabolite of risperidone and exhibits high affinity for 5-HT₂A receptors (Ki = 0.4 nM for cloned human 5-HT₂A receptors) and potent dopamine D₂ receptor antagonism. Paliperidone is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Invega® extended-release tablets for the treatment of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Paliperidone is also the active moiety released from Paliperidone Palmitate (Invega Sustenna®, Invega Trinza®) long-acting injectable suspensions. In quality control contexts, Paliperidone is officially designated as Risperidone Impurity C (EP), making it an essential analytical reference standard for impurity profiling in risperidone-containing products.

Application
Paliperidone is a chemical substance, the active metabolite of risperidone, an atypical antipsychotic drug. It is a scientific research reagent widely used in molecular biology, pharmacology and other scientific research fields. Paliperidone is a derivative of benzisoxazole, the active metabolite of risperidone, 9-hydroxyrisperidone, and a new type of antipsychotic drug. Its mechanism of action is still not fully understood, which may be related to the blocking effect on dopamine D2 and 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A (5HT2A). It has a blocking effect on adrenergic α1, α2 and histamine H1 receptors, and has no affinity for choline and adrenergic β1 and β2 receptors. Its levorotatory and dextrorotatory isomers have similar pharmacological effects in vitro

In Vitro Study
Paliperidone significantly increases the intracellular accumulation of Rh123 and DOX in a concentration-dependent manner. Paliperidone acts well on Aβ (25-35) and MPP(+) at low concentrations (10 and 50 μM), and only protects SH-SY5Y from hydrogen peroxide damage. Paliperidone (100 μM) completely reduces cell loss induced by different stresses, independent of its dose. Paliperidone has a higher oxidative stress-scavenging effect than other APDs in many aspects, such as producing a large amount of glutathione, lower HNE, and protein carbonyl products. Paliperidone enhances dopamine toxicity at the highest dose, and is the only AP that significantly increases cell activity compared to cells treated with dopamine alone (8.1%).
In Vivo Studies
Paliperidone restores extracellular glutamate in the basal layer of the prefrontal cortex of rats. In rats, Paliperidone also prevents the increase in extracellular glutamate induced by acute MK-801. The co-administration of Paliperidone and Escitalopram restores the inhibition of the firing rate of NE neurons and the percentage of sudden neuronal discharges. Paliperidone reduces biting and aggressive behaviors in a dose-dependent manner at effective doses. Paliperidone leads to a significant reduction in aggressive behaviors.
