Description

Chlorpromazine is a phenothiazine antipsychotic drug that is used to treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders. It is also used in the treatment of nausea, vomiting, and hiccups. Chlorpromazine binds to the D2 receptor in the brain, which blocks dopamine from binding to this receptor. In addition to its effects on dopamine receptors, chlorpromazine also inhibits phosphodiesterase activity and n-oxide formation. These effects are thought to be responsible for chlorpromazine's ability to inhibit tumor growth and prolong survival in some cancer patients. Chlorpromazine has been shown to inhibit filamentous fungi by inhibiting kinesin-like proteins that are essential for cell division. This drug also has low potency against cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) and may act as an inhibitor of PDE4B1 which is involved in the inflammatory response.
