Abstract

Bipolar disorder is a severe mental disorder that necessitates effective long-term treatment strategies. Clinically, lithium has demonstrated favorable outcomes in managing this condition. The inflammatory theory posits that bipolar disorder is influenced by an inflammatory response, and lithium is thought to mitigate this disorder by inhibiting such responses. In terms of the pharmacodynamics of blocking inflammatory mediators, lithium mainly acts on GSK-3β. Upon interaction with GSK-3β, lithium can suppress the gene expression of inflammatory mediators, subsequently reducing their secretion. This mechanism influences multiple downstream pathways, ultimately contributing to the therapeutic effects observed in bipolar disorder. Specifically, these pathways include the arachidonic acid pathway, nitric oxide synthase pathway, neurotransmitter pathway, and so on. This article reviews the pharmacodynamic targets and mechanisms of lithium, offering insights into the appropriate clinical application of lithium and the advancement of lithium pharmacotherapies.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Psychopharmacology is a fully peer-reviewed, international journal that publishes original research and review articles on preclinical and clinical aspects of psychopharmacology. The journal provides an essential forum for researchers and practicing clinicians on the effects of drugs on animal and human behavior, and the mechanisms underlying these effects. The Journal of Psychopharmacology is truly international in scope and readership.
