Conformational analyses have been performed on several phenothiazine and thioxanthene dopamine antagonists using the MM2-87 program and parameter set. The compounds that were examined are thioridazine (2), methotrimeprazine (3), cis- and trans-chlorprothixene, and a piperidylidene derivative of chlorprothixene. In addition

The effect of some psychotropic drugs on the activity of macrophages to produce superoxide radicals during phagocytosis was tested. Three-cyclic antidepressants, imipramine and amitriptyline, and the thioxanthene neuroleptic, chlorprothixene, were studied. The superoxide production was measured by luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. The
