Loxapine hydrochloride Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Uses

Loxapine hydrochloride is an orally active dopamine inhibitor, 5-HT receptor antagonist and also a dibenzoxazepine anti-psychotic agent[1][4].

in vivo

Loxapine (5 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 4 or 10 weeks) decreases serotonin (S2) but does not elevate dopamine (D2) receptor numbers in the rat brain[3].

Animal Model:Adult male Wistar rats (150-175 g)[3]
Dosage:5 mg/kg
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection, daily for 4 or 10 weeks
Result:Induced a very significant reduction (more than 50%) of serotonin (S2) receptor density after 4 weeks or 10 weeks of daily injection, but did not produce any significant increase in dopamine receptor density.

IC 50

human 5-HT2; Human D4 Receptor; Human D1 Receptor; Human D2 Receptor
