Disease relevance of trifluoperazine

 

High impact information on trifluoperazine

  • The potential antiarrhythmic and electrophysiological actions of drugs known to inhibit calmodulin, i.e. trifluoperazine (TFP) and N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene sulphonamide (W7) have been compared with bepridil, whose antiarrhythmic actions have previously been ascribed to blockade of the fast inward sodium current in cardiac tissue [1].
  • The effect of regucalcin (10(-7) M) in decreasing NO synthase activity was also seen in the presence of TFP (50 microM) or EGTA (1 mM) [2].
  • The biological implications from the cooperative, non-specific interaction of CPZ and TFP with membranes are also commented upon [4].
  • Phenothiazine derivatives chlorpromazine (cpz) and trifluoperazine (tfp) were found to induce apoptosis, abnormal cell cycle and expression of p53 in Chinese hamster lung fibroblast V79 cells [5].
  • Since it is known that the inhibitory effect of TFP or CHP against calmodulin-dependent enzymes such as phosphodiesterase is 100-400-fold higher compared to PMZ, it is speculated that the inhibitory effect of TFP or CHP against cyanide-induced convulsions may be based on its strong inhibitory properties into calmodulin-dependent enzymes [6].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of trifluoperazine

  • Although TFP was shown to possess alpha-adrenoceptor blocking properties, the classical alpha-blocker, phentolamine, failed to reduce significantly the incidence or severity of reperfusion arrhythmias [1].
 

Biological context of trifluoperazine

  • On the other hand, the LD50 value of cyanide was significantly increased by i.v.t. preadministration of TFP or CHP (0.045 mumol/body) [6].
 

Anatomical context of trifluoperazine

  • These effects of calmodulin and TFP are consistent with the notion of a plasma membrane origin for this activity and also suggest that this activity could be a basis for the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ activity in the submicromolar range [7].
  • The Ca2+ effect was significantly inhibited by trifluoperazine (TFP; 20 or 50 microM), an antagonist of calmodulin, indicating the existence of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent NO synthase activity in rat heart muscle cytosol [8].
  • Experiments using vesicles prepared from brush-border or basolateral membranes indicated that TFP inhibited the calcium-extrusion process, with virtually no effect on calcium entry [9].
 

Gene context of trifluoperazine

  • Regucalcin significantly reduced NO synthase activity in the presence of TFP (50 micro micro M) or EGTA (1 mM) which has a significant inhibitory effect on the enzyme activity [10].
