The use of olanzapine for the psychiatric manifestations of hereditary coproporphyria has been studied (29). 

Olanzapine caused increased transaminases in a 38-year-old man with hereditary coproporphyria the enzyme changes were not associated with symptoms or evidence of either acute liver failure or exacerbation of his porphyria (230). 

This decarboxylation reaction occurs in the mitochondria and thus requires the translocation of coproporphyrinogen 111 from the cytosol into this organelle. Hereditary coproporphyria, the disorder in humans that is caused by mutations in the copro-porphyrinogen oxidase gene, is treated by the administration of hematin.

In Table 32-4 the porphyrias are divided into the acute porphyrias, in which acute neurovisceral attacks occur, and the nonacute porphyrias. Other classifications include division into hepatic (acute intermittent porphyria (AIP], hereditary coproporphyria [HOP], variegate porphyria [VP], and PCT) and erythropoietic (congenital erythropoietic porphyria [CEP], erytliropoietic protoporphyria [EPP]) porphyrias according to the main site of overproduction of...

Porphyria maybe classified as hepatic or erythropoietic. However, enzyme defects are sometimes common to both tissues. Porphyrias can be induced by alcohol, stress, infection, starvation, hormonal changes (e.g., menstruation), and certain drugs. These drugs presumably precipitate acute manifestations in susceptible subjects since they are inducers of cytochrome P-450 and increase the need for synthesis of heme as they deplete the mitochondrial pool of free heme. Major hepatic porphyrias include acute intermittent porphyria, variegate porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria, and porphyria cutanea tarda. The principal erythropoietic porphyrias are hereditary erythropoietic porphyria and erythropoietic protoporphyria.

The three autosomal dominant diseases, acute intermittent porphyria (31.2) [1, 4], variegate porphyria (31.6) and hereditary coproporphyria (31.5) share a common symptomatology (Tables 31.3.1/31.3.2). Affected individuals suffer from acute attacks of severe, colicky, abdominal pain, mostly of several days duration and combined with nausea, vomiting, obstipation and subileus. Tachycardia and hypertension is often present too. Within a few days these symptoms may spontaneously subside or they may progress as well to a predominant motor neuropathy, disturbance of electrolyte balance (hyponatremia, hypomagnesemia), seizures, confusion and coma.
