Quetiapine is an antipsychotic drug that is used to treat psychiatric and neurological disorders. Despite its efficiency and low-toxicity, quetiapine administration has been associated with undesirable side effects such as the development of low-grade inflammatory disorders and neutropenia states. As the liver rapidly metabolizes quetiapine to metabolites, the non-metabolized part of this molecule might play a role in immune alterations. In an in vitro study, this hypothesis was tested by exposing activated and inactivated RAW-264.7 macrophages and human neutrophils to unmetabolized quetiapine (u-QUE). Based on our findings, u-QUE was not cytotoxic to these cells. u-QUE differentially modulates macrophages according to their activation states. In inactivated macrophages, u-QUE induced a proinflammatory state as observed by an increase in cellular proliferation; increased levels of oxidative molecules (nitric oxide and superoxide), protein levels, and gene overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α); and decreased levels of IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Conversely, on phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-activated macrophages, u-QUE exerted an anti-inflammatory effect. u-QUE induced neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation and increased the sensitivity of the neutrophils previously activated by exposure to dead yeast cells for NET formation. These results confirm the effect of quetiapine on macrophage and neutrophil function, which may be associated with the side effects of this psychopharmaceutical agent.
