Biological activities

Chlorprothixene is a neuroleptic drug. Chlorprothixene has tranquillizing and thymoleptic activities.[1] Chlorprothixene is also a potent antagonist of NA-induced contractions of denervated nictitating membranes.[2] Chlorprothixene inhibits the 3H-GABA uptake with an IC50 ranging from 10 to 30 µM.[3] Chlorprothixene selectively inhibits histamine-induced calcium release with an IC50 of 1 nM.[4] High dose of chiorprothixene inhibits the protection afforded by iproniazid against the reserpine-induced release of catecholamines in adrenal medulla and brain as well as the decrease of 5HT (5HT) and catecholamines. Chlorprothixene can antagonize the accumulation of 5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine (NE) which is caused by iproniazid. Chlorprothixene can act by decreasing the permeability of the storage organelles for some monoamines (5HT, DA).[5] Chlorprothixene exhibits a rather good antagonism of noradrenaline and dopamine. The increases in the toxicity of yohimbine hydrochloride (20 mg/kg subcutaneously) in mice caused by chlorprothixene.[6]

Protocols

Chlorprothixene is dissolved in aqueous solution. [3]
