Structure:
DrugBank Description: A phenothiazine with actions similar to chlorpromazine. It is used as an antipsychotic and an antiemetic.
CAS Number: 117-89-5
Molecular Weight: 407.496
DrugBank Indication: For the treatment of anxiety disorders, depressive symptoms secondary to anxiety and agitation.
DrugBank Pharmacology: Trifluoperazine is a trifluoro-methyl phenothiazine derivative intended for the management of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Trifluoperazine has not been shown effective in the management of behaviorial complications in patients with mental retardation.
DrugBank MoA: Trifluoperazine blocks postsynaptic mesolimbic dopaminergic D1 and D2 receptors in the brain; depresses the release of hypothalamic and hypophyseal hormones and is believed to depress the reticular activating system thus affecting basal metabolism, body temperature, wakefulness, vasomotor tone, and emesis.
Targets: Dopamine D2 receptor; Neuron-specific vesicular protein calcyon; Alpha-1A adrenergic receptor; Calmodulin; Troponin C, slow skeletal and cardiac muscles; Protein S100-A4
