チオリダジン塩酸塩

使用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.

一般的な説明Thioridazine hydrochloride,10-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]-2-(methylthio)phenothiazine monohydrochloride (Mellaril), is amember of the piperidine subgroup of the phenothiazines.The drug has a relatively low tendency to produce EPS. Thedrug has high anticholinergic activity, and this activity in thestriatum, counterbalancing a striatal DA block, may be responsiblefor the low EPS. It also has been suggested thatthere may be increased DA receptor selectivity, which may be responsible. The drug has sedative and hypotensive activityin common with chlorpromazine and less antiemeticactivity. At high doses, pigmentary retinopathy has been observed.Its major metabolites include N-demethylated, ringhydroxylated,and S-oxidized products. Thioridazine isprominently converted to the active metabolite mesoridazine(discussed next), which probably contributes to the antipsychoticactivity of thioridazine.
