Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Prochlorperazine dimaleate is a dopamine (D2) receptor antagonist that belongs to the phenothiazine class of antipsychotic agents that are used for the antiemetic treatment of nausea and vertigo. It is also a highly potent typical antipsychotic, 10–20 times more potent than chlorpromazine. Prochlorperazine dimaleate is also used to treat migraine headaches.

Product Data
Biological target:
Prochlorperazine dimaleate is a dopamine (D2) receptor antagonist.
In vitro activity:
Maximal stimulation occurred at 1 mg prochlorperazine to 2 mg microsomal protein, which resulted in a 6-fold increase in activity. However, with smaller concentrations of drug, there was a time-dependent increase in the activity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase. Sensitivity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase to activation by UDP-N-acetylglucosamine was lost after treatment of microsomes with prochlorperazine. These results indicate that prochlorperazine causes a profound reorganization of the interactions between lipids and enzyme since the activity and allosteric properties of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase are known to depend on interactions with lipids in a gel phase. Reference: Biochem Pharmacol. 1988 Apr 1;37(7):1259-62. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2833274/
In vivo activity:
Prochlorperazine (1-2 mg kg(-1) s.c./i.p.) produced an increase of the pain threshold in the mouse hot-plate test. The antinociception produced by prochlorperazine was prevented by the D(2) selective agonist quinpirole, the unselective muscarinic antagonist atropine, the M(1) selective antagonist pirenzepine, and by the choline uptake inhibitor hemicholinium-3 hydrobromide (HC-3). Moreover, prochlorperazine antinociception was abolished by pretreatment with an aODN against the M(1) receptor subtype, administered at the dose of 2 nmol per single i.c.v. injection.
