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
