Application

Penfluridol has been used as an antipsychotic agent:
  • to study its antimetastatic effect on triple-negative breast cancer cells
  • to study its effects on the growth of glioblastoma cell lines,
  • to study its effects on the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Penfluridol is studied in the treatment of schizophrenia, Tourette syndrome and acute psychosis. It also exhibits anticancer activity.
T-type Ca2+ channel blocker; antipsychotic

The function of low voltage-activated T-type Ca2+ channels in ACTH-stimulated cortisol production by bovine adrenal zona fasciculata cells (AZF) was explored in patch clamp and secretion studies. Nearly all AZF cells expressed only a low voltage-activated T-type Ca2+ current (IT)

The susceptibilities of isolates of Plasmodium falciparum from Nigeria and two reference cloned strains (D6 and W2) to mefloquine or chloroquine alone and in combination with either penfluridol, a piperidine analogue, or verapamil were determined using a modification of the

Endocrinology, 126(2), 858-868 (1990-02-01)
We examined the effects of removing extracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+e), depleting intracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+i), inhibiting cAMP-dependent calmodulin, and blocking voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels on the secretion of ACTH by perifused dispersed rat anterior pituitary cells. The cells were stimulated with synthetic arginine

The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 290(1), 266-275 (1999-06-25)
Bovine adrenal zona fasciculata cells express a novel K+ current (IAC) that sets the resting potential while it couples adrenocorticotropin and angiotensin II receptors to membrane depolarization and cortisol secretion. IAC is distinctive among K+ channels both in its activation
J J Enyeart et al.
Molecular pharmacology, 42(2), 364-372 (1992-08-01)
We have used the whole-cell version of the patch-clamp technique to analyze the inhibition of Ca2+ currents by antipsychotic agents in neural crest-derived rat and human thyroid C cell lines. Diphenylbutylpiperidine (DPBP) antipsychotics, including penfluridol and fluspirilene, potently and preferentially
