Biochem/physiol Actions

Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride is useful in treating schizophrenia, disturbed behavior, severe anxiety, nausea and vomiting.
Phenothiazine antipsychotic; D2 dopamine receptor antagonist; inhibits calmodulin-dependent stimulation of 3′:5′-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase; inhibits cAMP-gated cation channels.

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
