Application

Thioridazine hydrochloride has been used as an intercalating agent for analyzing the integrity of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) using square-wave voltammetry (SWV) techniques. Thioridazine hydrochloride has also been used as a positive control for the inhibition of hepatic enzyme cytochrome P4502D6 (CYP2D6) in human liver microsomes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

D2 dopamine receptor antagonist; phenothazine antipsychotic with reduced extrapyramidal side effects; Ca2+ channel blocker.

Preparation Note

250 mg of thioridazine hydrochloride is soluble in 5 ml of water and yields a clear, colorless to faint yellow solution. Thioridazine hydrochloride is also soluble in methanol, ethanol, and chloroform, but it is insoluble in ether.

Inhibition of human cytochrome P4502D6 (CYP2D6)-catalysed metabolism can lead to clinically significant alterations in pharmacokinetics. Since there is evidence that the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of antidepressant drugs might inhibit CYP2D6, the effects of five SSRIs on human
