General description

Chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ) is an antipsychotic drug which belongs to phenothiazine neuroleptic group. It is used in treating mental or personality disorders.

Application

CPZ may have been used as standard for the determination of antipsychotic drug at a glassy carbon electrode using chemometric methods, such as classical least squares (CLS), principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS).
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
Substitute for benzidine, o-dianisidine, and o-tolidine in the determination of microquantities of hemoglobin and peroxidase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chlorpromazine demonstrates cytotoxic and antiproliferative activity against leukemic cells, but does not affect the viability of normal lymphocytes.
Phenothiazine antipsychotic; D2 dopamine receptor antagonist, H1 histamine receptor antagonist; inhibits calmodulin-dependent stimulation of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and nitric oxide synthase.
