Product Data
Biological target:
Phenothiazine is an antibiotic which has insecticidal, fungicidal, antibacterial and anthelmintic activities.
In vitro activity:
The present study found that phenothiazine antipsychotics increased calcium mobilization and activated mast cells to release β-hexosaminidase, histamine, and tumor necrosis factor-α via Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptor member X2 (MRGPRX2) in vitro. Reference: Mol Immunol. 2019 Jul;111:118-127. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31051313/
In vivo activity:
This study’s findings showed that PTZ (phenothiazine) rescues rotenone (ROT) toxicity in primary ventral midbrain neuronal cultures by preserving neuronal integrity and reducing protein thiol oxidation. Long-term treatment with PTZ improved animal weight, survival rate, and behavioral deficits in ROT-lesioned rats. PTZ protected DA content and fiber density in the striatum and DA neurons in the SN against the deleterious effects of ROT.
