Application
Amoxapine has been used as an antidepressant drug to test its effect on locomotion and egg release in response to gain-of-functional mutations in potassium (K+) channels (unc-58) of C. elegans. It has also been used as an antipsychotic drug to test its effect on the viability of glioblastoma cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Amoxapine, a structural analog of clozapine, is a human ether a-go-go (hERG) channel blocker. It is also an N-methylated metabolite of loxapine. It is a tricyclic antidepressant that inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine and blocks 5- hydroxytryptamine (HT2 ) serotonergic receptors.

Phase-solubility studies have been used to evaluate the solubilizing effects of cyclodextrins (CDs) on lipophilic, water-insoluble drugs. However, large amounts of CDs and drugs are required to measure solubility by phase-solubility studies. Thus, more efficient approaches to evaluate the interaction
