Description of Chlorprothixene (hydrochloride)

Chlorprothixene (hydrochloride) is an antagonist of dopamine receptor and histamine receptors [1]. Chlorprothixene is also an inhibitor of GABAA receptor [2]. All of these three receptors are implicated in many neurological processes, including motivation, pleasure, cognition, memory and learning.

In vitro: Chlorprothixene exihibited strong binding affinities to dopamine and histamine receptors, The Ki values of D1, D2, D3, D5 and H1 were 18nM, 2.96 nM, 4.56 nM, 9 nM and 3.75 nM, respectively. Chlorprothixene showed little affinity to H3 with the Ki value of >1000 nM[1]. In COS-7 cells transiently expressed rat 5-HT7 receptors and HEK-293 cells stably transfected with rat 5-HT6, the Ki values of chlorprothixene were 5.6 nM and 3 nM, respectively [3]. In Vero 76 cells, chlorprothixene treatment inhibited SARS-CoV replication, with IC50 of 16.7 μM for Urbani strain, 13.0 μM for Frankfurt-1, 18.5 μM for CHUK-W1 and 15.8 μM for Toronto-2 [4].

In vivo: In rat brain depressing the release of hypothalamic and hypophyseal hormones, chlorprothixene blocked postsynaptic mesolimbic dopaminergic D1 and D2 receptors [5]. Chlorprothixene treatment restored normal ceramide concentrations in murine bronchial epithelial cells, reduced inflammation in the lungs of mice with cystic fibrosis (CF) and prevented infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa [6].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
