Description

Application

Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride has been used as a calmodulin kinase antagonist in cultured Aplysia californica neurons. Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride has also been used as a PMCA inhibitor in mouse duodenal tissues to block the transcellular active calcium flux.

Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride has been used:

• to inhibit clathrin-dependent endocytosis
• as a calmodulin kinase antagonist in cultured Aplysia californica neurons
• as a plasma membrane Ca²⁺-ATPase (PMCA) inhibitor in mouse duodenal tissues to block the transcellular active calcium flux

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phenothiazine antipsychotic; D₂ dopamine receptor antagonist; inhibits calmodulin-dependent stimulation of 3′:5′-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase; inhibits cAMP-gated cation channels.

Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride is useful in treating schizophrenia, disturbed behavior, severe anxiety, nausea and vomiting.
