摘要
Abstract Schizophrenia is a complex and chronic psychiatric disorder that significantly impacts patients’ quality of life. Ranking 12th among 310 diseases and injuries that result in disability, the number of patients suffering from schizophrenia continues to rise, emphasizing the urgent need for developing effective treatments. Despite the availability of effective antipsychotic drugs, over 80% of patients taking oral antipsychotics experience relapses, primarily caused by non-adherence as the high dosing frequency is required. In this review, we discuss about schizophrenia, its incidence, pathological causes, influencing factors, and the challenges of the current medications. Specifically, we explore nanocrystal technology and its application to paliperidone, making it one of the most successful long-acting antipsychotic drugs introduced to the market. We highlight the clinical advantages of paliperidone nanocrystals, including improved adherence, efficacy, long-term outcomes, patient satisfaction, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, we address the physicochemical factors influencing the drug’s half-life, which crucially contribute to long-acting medications. Further studies on nanocrystal-based long-acting medications are crucial for enhancing their effectiveness and reliability. The successful development of paliperidone nanocrystals holds great promise as a significant approach for drug development, with potential applications for other chronic disease management.
