Abstract
Scientific studies have demonstrated that conjugates of anticancer drugs with metal nanoparticles (MeNPs) lead to a more effective deactivation of tumor cells compared to free drugs. Similarly, it has been established that conjugates of antibiotics with MeNPs exhibit higher biocidal activity against bacteria than their unbound counterparts. However, limited information is available regarding conjugates formed from drugs other than anticancer and antibiotics. Therefore, our research aims to develop synthesis methods for conjugates of chlorpromazine (CPZ), a neuroleptic, with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). CPZ-AuNP conjugates were prepared through a ligand exchange reaction conducted on the surface of quasi-spherical, negatively charged citrate-stabilized TC-AuNPs with an average size of 55 ± 5 nm. UV-vis spectroscopy was employed to determine the stability range of the conjugates under controlled conditions of pH and ionic strength. Based on electrokinetic measurements, it was observed that the zeta potential of CPZ-AuNP conjugates strongly depends on the amount of CPZ adsorbed on the TC-AuNP surface. Additionally, the conjugates exhibited an isoelectric point at pH 8.8. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRA) were employed to elucidate the adsorption structure of CPZ on TC-AuNPs. The interpretation of the spectra was conducted based on the Raman and FTIR spectra of CPZ, along with calculations performed using Density Functional Theory (DFT). The results indicated that CPZ primarily interacts with the TC-AuNP surface through the angularly oriented phenothiazine ring and the propylene bridge. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the C-N-C fragment is perpendicular to the surface of the TC-AuNP with which it interacts. The findings from this analysis suggest the potential for further research on the use of these conjugates in biomedical applications.

Abstract
The tractable preparation of Phase I drug metabolites is a critical step to understand the first-pass behaviour of novel chemical entities (NCEs) in drug discovery. In this study, we have developed a structure-electroactivity relationship (SeAR)-informed electrochemical reaction of the parent 2-chlorophenothiazine and the antipsychotic medication, chlorpromazine. With the ability to dial-in under current controlled conditions, the formation of S-oxide and novel S,S-dioxide metabolites has been achieved for the first time on a multi-milligram scale using a direct batch electrode platform. A potential rationale for the electrochemical formation of these metabolites in situ is proposed using molecular docking to a cytochrome P450 enzyme.

Abstract
Phenothiazine derivatives are widely studied in various fields such as biology, chemistry, and medicine research because of their pharmaceutical effects. The first compound used successfully in the treatment of psychosis was a phenthiazine derivative, chlorpromazine. Apart from its activity in neurons, chlorpromazine has also been reported to display anticancer and antibacterial properties. In this study, we present the synthesis and research on the activity of A549, MDA, MiaPaCa, PC3, and HCT116 cancer cell lines and of S. aureus, S. epidermidis, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa bacterial strains against a series of new tetracyclic chlorpromazine analogues containing a quinoline scaffold in their structure instead of the benzene ring and various substituents at the thiazine nitrogen. The structure of these novel molecules has been determined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS spectral techniques. The seven most active of the twenty-four new chlorpromazine analogues tested were selected to study the mechanism of cytotoxic action. Their ability to induce apoptosis or necrosis in cancer cells was assessed by flow cytometry analysis. The results obtained confirmed the proapoptotic activity of selected compounds, especially in terms of inducing late apoptosis or necrosis in cancer cell lines A549, MiaPaCa-2, and HCT-116. Furthermore, studies on the induction of cell cycle arrest suggest that the new chlorpromazine analogues exert antiproliferative effects by inducing cell cycle arrest in the S phase and, consequently, apoptosis.

Abstract
The formation of aggregates, which are widely used in the field of biochemistry and the medical industry, was studied with different compositions of alkyl betaine gemini surfactant (C14Ab) in conjugation with chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ). The results were compared with those of a single-chain zwitterionic surfactant (C12DmCB) of the same type with CPZ. Dynamic light scattering (DLS), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods were used to distinguish the aggregates for the CPZ/C14Ab system in aqueous solutions above a certain mole fraction of the drug CPZ (αCPZ = 0.2). Time-resolved fluorescence decay measurements of acridine orange revealed relative polarity near the head group regions of mixed micelle (CPZ/C14Ab and CPZ/C12DmCB) systems. The hydrophilic environment around the head group regions of the CPZ/C14Ab system was different from that in the case of the CPZ/C12DmCB system. On the other hand, several theoretical models were employed (Clint, Rubingh, Motomura, and SPB) for mixed micellar systems to elucidate the different interaction parameters. Such a systematic study of a zwitterionic gemini amphiphile and its interaction with other amphiphiles and an amphiphilic drug molecule is rare in the literature.

Abstract
The antipsychotic drug chlorpromazine (CPZ) has potential for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, if central nervous system side-effects resulting from its passage through the blood-brain barrier can be prevented. A robust drug delivery system for repurposed CPZ would be drug-in-cyclodextrin-in-liposome that would redirect the drug away from the brain while avoiding premature release in the circulation. As a first step, CPZ complexation with cyclodextrin (CD) has been studied. The stoichiometry, binding constant, enthalpy, and entropy of complex formation between CPZ and a panel of CDs was investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). All the tested CDs were able to include CPZ, in the form of 1:1, 1:2 or a mixture of 1:1 and 1:2 complexes. In particular, a substituted γ-CD, sugammadex (the octasodium salt of octakis(6-deoxy-6-S-(2-carboxyethyl)-6-thio)cyclomaltooctaose), formed exclusively 1:2 complexes with an extremely high association constant of 6.37 × 109 M-2. Complexes were further characterized by heat capacity changes, one- and two-dimensional (ROESY) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. Finally, protection of CPZ against photodegradation by CDs was assessed. This was accelerated rather than reduced by complexation with CD. Altogether these results provide a molecular basis for the use of CD in delayed release formulations for CPZ.

Investigation of metabolite-protein interactions by transient absorption spectroscopy and in silico methods. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2020; 226:117652.

Abstract
Transient absorption spectroscopy in combination with in silico methods has been employed to study the interactions between human serum albumin (HSA) and the anti-psychotic agent chlorpromazine (CPZ) as well as its two demethylated metabolites (MCPZ and DCPZ). Thus, solutions containing CPZ, MCPZ or DCPZ and HSA (molar ligand:protein ratios between 1:0 and 1:3) were submitted to laser flash photolysis and the ΔAmax value at λ = 470 nm, corresponding to the triplet excited state, was monitored. In all cases, the protein-bound ligand exhibited higher ΔAmax values measured after the laser pulse and were also considerably longer-lived than the non-complexed forms. This is in agreement with an enhanced hydrophilicity of the metabolites, due to the replacement of methyl groups with H that led to a lower extent of protein binding. For the three compounds, laser flash photolysis displacement experiments using warfarin or ibuprofen indicated Sudlow site I as the main binding site. Docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies revealed that the binding mode of the two demethylated ligands with HSA would be remarkable different from CPZ, specially for DCPZ, which appears to come from the different ability of their terminal ammonium groups to stablish hydrogen bonding interactions with the negatively charged residues within the protein pocket (Glu153, Glu292) as well as to allocate the methyl groups in an apolar environment. DCPZ would be rotated 180° in relation to CPZ locating the aromatic ring away from the Sudlow site I of HSA.

Abstract
We report a novel electrochemical sensor for the sensitive and selective determination of the antipsychotic drug chlorpromazine (CPZ) based on the iron (Fe) nanoparticles-loaded graphene oxide (GO-Fe)/three dimensional (3D) honeycomb-like zinc oxide (ZnO) nanohybrid modified screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE). The 3D hierarchical honeycomb-like ZnO was synthesized using a novel aqueous hydrothermal method and the GO-Fe/ZnO nanohybrid was prepared based on an inexpensive and fast sonochemical method using a high-intensity ultrasonic bath (Delta DC200H, 200 W, 40 KHz). Characterizations including scanning electron microscopy, elemental mapping, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy were carried out as part of this work. The electrocatalytic oxidation behavior of CPZ at various electrodes was investigated using the cyclic voltammetry technique, through which the GO-Fe/ZnO modified SPCE was identified as the best performing electrode. The quantitative determination of CPZ was then performed using the differential pulse voltammetry technique. The as-prepared GO-Fe/ZnO/SPCE sensor exhibited a quick and sensitive response towards the oxidation of CPZ with linear concentration ranges from 0.02 to 172.74 μM and 222.48 to 1047.74 μM. The modified SPCE sensor displayed a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.02 µM and a high sensitivity of 7.56 µA µM-1 cm-2. The proposed sensor also showed remarkable operational and storage stability, reproducibility, and repeatability. Furthermore, the practicability of the GO-Fe/ZnO/SPCE sensor has been verified with real sample analysis using commercial antipsychotic CPZ tablets and human urine samples, and adequate recovery has been achieved.

Abstract
The adsorption capacity of three representative pharmaceutical drugs and personal care products (PPCPs) viz. diclofenac sodium (DCF), chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CLF) and amodiaquin dihydrochloride (ADQ), were preliminarily studied using a water-stable Cu(II)-based metal organic framework (MOF) [Cu(BTTA)]n·2DMF (1) (H2BTTA = 1,4-bis(triazol-1-yl)terephthalic acid). We also investigated the factors influencing the adsorption such as concentration, pH, contact time, temperature and dosages. The results show that the adsorption capacity of 1 for DCF (650 mg g-1) from aqueous medium, which is higher in comparison to most of the reported MOFs. While the adsorption of CLF and ADQ are only 67 mg g-1 and 72 mg g-1, respectively. The adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics indicated that the adsorption of diclofenac sodium by 1 follows Freundlich model with R2 value of 0.9902 and pseudo-first-order kinetics with correlation coefficient 0.9939 and K1 value of 0.0058 min-1, respectively. Investigations indicate that 1 could become a potential material to adsorb DCF from aqueous medium.

Abstract
Toxic effects of the non-biodegradable drug chlorpromazine and its degradation products have been reported on microorganisms in aqueous media. Here, chlorpromazine degradation assays in forced and non-forced conditions have been done to know its persistence and degradation products in river water. Sunlight irradiation promotes the complete degradation of chlorpromazine (2 μg L(-1)) in less than 4 h, but if the exposure to sunlight is limited chlorpromazine is detected during 4 weeks in river water. Sixteen degradation products in surface water are described for first time after solid-phase extraction and analysis by ultra-pressure liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight/mass spectrometry; their structures are proposed from the molecular formulae of the fragment-ions observed in high-resolution tandem mass spectra. Hydroxylation and oxidation products such as chlorpromazine sulfoxide, 2-hydroxypromazine and 2-hydroxypromazine sulfoxide were predominant degradation products in the early stages; some benzo[1,4]thiazin-6-ol derivatives resulting from the breakdown of the phenothiazine core were the major and relatively stable products after 20 weeks under non-forced conditions. A degradation pathway of chlorpromazine in water is outlined. Moreover, it is shown that chlorpromazine is very strongly adsorbed on sediment while the degradation products that kept the promazine core have a notable capacity of sorption, too; sorption coefficients are calculated. Finally, a prediction about the toxicity of the degradation products in aquatic ecosystems suggests that some of them have toxicities similar, or even higher, than chlorpromazine.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Crataegus macracantha Lodd, family Rosaceae, is a very rare species in Europe, and unlike Crataegus monogyna is less investigated for pharmacologic activity. AIM To analyze the ability of the lyophilisate of extract obtained from leaves of Crataegus macracantha Lodd (single plant at the Iaşi Botanical Garden) to capture free radicals in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS The lyophilisate obtained in Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, "Grigore T. Popa" University of Medicine and Pharmacy Iaşi. The decreased absorbance of chromophore chlorpromazine radical cation in the presence of the lyophilized solutions was studied spectrophotometrically. The indicator radical cation, obtained by oxidation of chlorpromazine by potassium persulfate, has the maximum absorbance at 525 nm. Ascorbic acid was used as a standard antioxidant. RESULTS The absorbance of radical solution was determined after the addition of a certain amount of lyophilisate at different time intervals. The antioxidant activity was calculated using the calibration curve obtained by plotting the variation in radical solution absorbance depending on ascorbic acid concentration. For each ascorbic acid concentration the area under the curve was calculated from plotting the percentage inhibition of the absorbance at two pre-established time intervals. CONCLUSIONS The results confirm the antioxidant activity of the leaves of Crataegus Macracantha Lodd and by optimizing the proposed analytical methods the antiradical activity can be quickly evaluated with minimal reagent consumption.

Abstract
The study reports an investigation of the photoproducts obtained by exposure of chlorpromazine hydrochloride in ultrapure water (concentration 2 mg/mL) to a 266-nm laser beam obtained by fourth harmonic generation from a Nd:YAG laser (6-ns full time width at half maximum, 10-Hz pulse repetition rate). The photoproducts were analyzed by steady-state UV-Vis absorption, laser-induced fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and liquid chromatography-tandem time-of-flight mass spectroscopy. Two figures showing pathways that take place during irradiation for obtaining the final products are shown. The quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation by chlorpromazine (CPZ) was determined relative to standard Zn-phthalocyanine in dimethyl sulfoxide. To outline the role of fluorescence in photoproducts formation rates, fluorescence quantum yield of CPZ during exposure to 355-nm radiation (third harmonic of the fundamental beam of Nd:YAG laser) was investigated relative to standard Coumarin 1 in ethanol. The CPZ solutions exposed 60 and 240 min to 266-nm laser beam, respectively, were tested against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 strain. For 25 μL of CPZ samples irradiated 240 min, a higher diameter of inhibition has obtained against the tested strain than for the 60-min exposed ones.

Abstract
In our study, poly(dl-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles loaded with perphenazine (PPH) and chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ-HCl) were formulated by emulsion solvent evaporation technique. The effect of various processing variables, including PLGA concentration, theoretical drug loading, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) concentration and the power of sonication were assessed systematically to obtain higher encapsulation efficiency and to minimize the nanoparticles size. By the optimization formulation process, the nanoparticles were obtained in submicron size from 325.5 ± 32.4 to 374.3 ± 10.1 nm for nanoparticles loaded with PPH and CPZ-HCl, respectively. Nanoparticles observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) presented smooth surface and spherical shape. The encapsulation efficiency of nanoparticles loaded with PPH and CPZ-HCl were 83.9% and 71.0%, respectively. The drug loading were 51.1% and 39.4% for PPH and CPZ-HCl, respectively. Lyophilized nanoparticles with different PLGA concentration 0.8%, 1.3% and 1.6% (w/v) in formulation process were evaluated for in vitro release in phosphate buffered saline (pH = 7.4) by using dialysis bags. The release profile for both drugs have shown that the rate of PPH and CPZ-HCl release were dependent on a size and amount of drugs in the nanoparticles.

Abstract
Chlorpromazine is a phenothiazine antipsychotic which is often used in hospice and palliative care to treat hiccups, delirium, and nausea. With the discontinuation of the commercial oral solution concentrate, there is a need to prepare this product by extemporaneous compounding. This study was initiated to identify an easy-to-prepare formulation for the compounding pharmacist. A stability study was also conducted to select the proper storage conditions and establish the beyond-use date. Chlorpromazine HCl powder and the Ora-Sweet® syrup vehicle were used to prepare the 100 mg/mL solution. Once the feasibility was established, a batch of the solution was prepared and packaged in amber plastic prescription bottles for a stability study. These samples were stored at refrigeration (2-8°C) or room temperature (20-25°C) for up to 3 months. At each monthly time point, the samples were evaluated by visual inspection, pH measurement, and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A separate forced stability study was conducted to confirm that the HPLC method was stability indicating. A clear and colorless solution of 100 mg/mL chlorpromazine HCl was obtained by dissolving the drug powder in Ora-Sweet® with moderate agitation. The stability study results indicated that this solution product remained unchanged in visual appearance or pH at both refrigeration and room temperature for up to 3 months. The HPLC results also confirmed that all stability samples retained 93.6-101.4% of initial drug concentration. Chlorpromazine HCl solution 100 mg/mL can be compounded extemporaneously by dissolving chlorpromazine HCl drug powder in Ora-Sweet®. The resulting product is stable for at least three months in amber plastic prescription bottles stored at either refrigeration or room temperature.

Abstract
We report here a supramolecular strategy to directly assemble the small molecular antipsychotic drug chlorpromazine (CPZ) into nanostructures, induced by p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SC4A) and p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene tetraheptyl ether (SC4AH), with high drug loading efficiencies of 61% and 46%, respectively. The binary host-guest assembly process was monitored using optical transmittance measurements, and the size and morphology of these two kinds of supra-amphiphilic assemblies were identified using a combination of light scattering and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, which showed solid spherical micelles. This strategy presents new opportunities for the development of high loading drug-containing carriers with easy processability for drug delivery.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Measurement of free radical scavenging capacity of antioxidants is influenced by a number of parameters that depend on reaction rate. AIM A new method for assessing the free radical scavenging activity in which the influence of antioxidant concentration and reaction rate on chlorpromazine radical cation absorbance are simultaneously monitored. MATERIALS AND METHODS The change in radical solution absorbance at 525 nm within a fixed time at different concentrations of the standard antioxidant--ascorbic acid (AA) are determined and percent inhibition is calculated. RESULTS The percent inhibition of color was plotted versus time, and the area under the curve was calculated for each concentration of the standard antioxidant. The calibration curve was obtained by plotting the area under the curve versus ascorbic acid concentration. The antioxidant activity of the samples was calculated using the regression line equation (r2 = 0.9991) and expressed as ascorbic acid molar equivalents (AAE) depending on the unit of measurement chosen for the tested product. CONCLUSIONS The proposed method takes into account the two parameters influencing the kinetics of the reaction between antioxidant and radicals, namely the antioxidant concentration and fixed time for measuring absorbance.

Abstract
Chlorpromazine (CPZ) was exposed to a 266 nm laser beam for different periods of time ranging from minutes to 24 h. At intervals, the products from irradiation were evaluated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and evaluated for their activity against mycobacteria of human interest (Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium, M. intracellulare and their corresponding reference strains or clinical isolates). With the exception of the M. avium 47/07 clinical strain, the products produced from the irradiation of CPZ for 4 h had greater activity against M. intracellulare ATCC, M. avium ATCC, H37Rv and the Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) strains as opposed to that produced by the unirradiated control. The level of products from the 4-h exposure of CPZ remained the same throughout the next 20 h of irradiation. Of significant note is that the irradiation products of CPZ had lower in vitro cytotoxicity against human cells, suggesting that this approach may be useful for the development of compounds more bioactive than the parental species.

Importance of the interaction protein-protein of the CaM-PDE1A and CaM-MLCK complexes in the development of new anti-CaM drugs. J Mol Recognit 2013; 26:165-74.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions play central roles in physiological and pathological processes. The bases of the mechanisms of drug action are relevant to the discovery of new therapeutic targets. This work focuses on understanding the interactions in protein-protein-ligands complexes, using proteins calmodulin (CaM), human calcium/calmodulin-dependent 3',5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 1A active human (PDE1A), and myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and ligands αII-spectrin peptide (αII-spec), and two inhibitors of CaM (chlorpromazine (CPZ) and malbrancheamide (MBC)). The interaction was monitored with a fluorescent biosensor of CaM (hCaM M124C-mBBr). The results showed changes in the affinity of CPZ and MBC depending on the CaM-protein complex under analysis. For the Ca(2+) -CaM, Ca(2+) -CaM-PDE1A, and Ca(2+) -CaM-MLCK complexes, CPZ apparent dissociation constants (Kds ) were 1.11, 0.28, and 0.55 μM, respectively; and for MBC Kds were 1.43, 1.10, and 0.61 μM, respectively. In competition experiments the addition of calmodulin binding peptide 1 (αII-spec) to Ca(2+) -hCaM M124C-mBBr quenched the fluorescence (Kd = 2.55 ± 1.75 pM) and the later addition of MBC (up to 16 μM) did not affect the fluorescent signal. Instead, the additions of αII-spec to a preformed Ca(2+) -hCaM M124C-mBBr-MBC complex modified the fluorescent signal. However, MBC was able to displace the PDE1A and MLCK from its complex with Ca(2+) -CaM. In addition, docking studies were performed for all complexes with both ligands showing an excellent correlation with experimental data. These experiments may help to explain why in vivo many CaM drugs target prefer only a subset of the Ca(2+) -CaM regulated proteins and adds to the understanding of molecular interactions between protein complexes and small ligands.

Abstract
In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of a mixture of three pharmaceuticals, Metronidazole (MET), Atenolol (ATL) and Chlorpromazine (CPR), was quantified simultaneously during the UV/TiO2 process. The investigated TiO2 was Millennium PC-500 immobilized on ceramic plates by sol-gel based method. The partial least squares modeling was successfully applied for the multivariate calibration of the spectrophotometric data. The central composite design was applied to model and optimize the UV/TiO2 process. Predicted values of removal efficiency were found to be in good agreement with experimental values for MET, ATL and CPR (R(2)=0.947 and Adj-R(2)=0.906, R(2)=0.977 and Adj-R(2)=0.960 and R(2)=0.982 and Adj-R(2)=0.969, respectively). The optimum initial concentration of pharmaceuticals, reaction time and UV light intensity was found to be 10 mg L(-1), 150 min and 38.45 W m(-2), respectively. The main degradation intermediates of pharmaceuticals produced in this process were identified by GC-MS technique. The chronic ecotoxicity of pharmaceuticals was evaluated using aquatic species Spirodela polyrrhiza prior to and after photocatalysis. The TOC results (90% removal after 16 h) and ecotoxicological experiments revealed that the photocatalysis process could effectively mineralize and reduce the ecotoxicity of the pharmaceuticals from their aqueous solutions.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Through univalent oxidation chlorpromazine forms a colored and relatively stable radical cation with maximum absorbance at 525 nm, considered a redox mediator in a number of b iochemical reactions. AIM To develop a spectrometric method for the determination of total antioxidant activity based on the reaction of chlorpromazine radical capture by ascorbic acid (standard antioxidant). MATERIAL AND METHODS The calibration curve was drawn by monitoring the decrease in the absorbance of the preformed radical solution (obtained by oxidation of chlorpromazine by potassium persulfate in an acidic environment) depending on ascorbic acid concentration. RESULTS The method was validated. In the ascorbic acid concentration range 10-100 microM/L linearity was good (r2 = 0.9991). Limit of detection (LOD) was 3.13 microM/L and limit of quantification (LOQ) was 9.49 microM/L. System precision (RSD = 0.75%), method precision (RSD = 4.50%) and intermediate precision (RSD = 4.63%) were determined. The average recovery of 101.7% for the concentration range 91.1 -105.9% confirmed the accuracy of the method. CONCLUSIONS The method has a good linearity, precision, accuracy, and is easy to use for evaluation of antioxidant action of different products. Total antioxidant activity is expressed as ascorbic acid molar equivalents (AAE). The method has the advantage of using a radical involved in redox processes in the body.

Abstract
Reactions of peroxidase oxidation of triftazine and thioproperazine have been investigated in the presence of horseradish peroxidase using steady state kinetic methods. It has been shown that phenothiazines are slowly oxidizable substrates for horseradish peroxidase. k(cat) and K(m) values have been determined in the range of pH from 4.5 to 7.5. The study of co-oxidation of phenothiazines and o-dianisidine (ODN) revealed that in the presence of aminazine and ODN in the reaction medium both substances follow sequential oxidation. ODN oxidation was not observed until full conversion of aminazine. At pH 4.5-5.5 thioproperazine bound to the enzyme-substrate complex and caused a nticompetitive inhibition of peroxidase. At pH>5.5 sequential substrate oxidation with preferential thioproperazine conversion occurred. In the range of pH from 4.5 to 7.5 triftazine did not influence ODN oxidation.

Abstract
In pH 1.0 HCl medium, 12-tungstophosphoric acid (TP) reacted with promethazine hydrochloride (PMZ) and chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ) to form ion-association complexes, which led to a great enhancement of the resonance nonlinear scattering such as second-order scattering (SOS) and frequency doubling scattering (FDS). Their maximum SOS and FDS peaks were located at 585 nm (TP-PMZ), 584 nm (TP-CPZ) and 388 nm (TP-PMZ), 329 nm (TP-CPZ), respectively. These results provided some indication for the determination of PMZ and CPZ by SOS and FDS methods. The linear range of TP-PMZ and TP-CPZ systems were 0.0069-2.5 microg mL(-1), 0.102-5.0 microg mL(-1) (SOS) and 0.079-6.0 microg mL(-1), 0.0133-5.0 microg mL(-1) (FDS), respectively. The detection limits (3sigma) of PMZ and CPZ were 2.08 ng mL(-1), 3.07 ng mL(-1) (SOS) and 2.22 ng mL(-1), 3.98 ng mL(-1) (FDS), respectively. In this work, the optimum reaction conditions, the influences of coexisting substances and ionic strength and analytical application have been investigated. The methods have been successfully applied to the determination of PMZ and CPZ in tablets. In addition, the composition of ion-association complexes and the reaction mechanism are also discussed.

Abstract
Calcium-sensitive forms of adenylyl cyclase (AC) were revealed in most vertebrates and invertebrates and also in some unicellular organisms, in particular ciliates. We have shown for the first time that calcium cations influence the AC activity of ciliate Tetrahymena pyriformis. These cations at the concentrations of 0.2-20 microM stimulated the enzyme activity, and maximum of catalytic effect was observed at 2 microM Ca2+. Calcium cations at a concentrations of 100 microM or higher inhibited the AC activity. Calmodulin antagonists W-5 and W-7 at the concentrations of 20-100 microM inhibited the catalytic effect induced by 5 microM Ca2+ and blocked the effect at higher concentrations of Ca2+. Chloropromazine, another calmodulin antagonist, reduced Ca2+-stimulated AC activity only at the concentrations of 200-1000 microM. AC stimulating effects of serotonin, EGF and cAMP increased in the presence of 5 microM Ca2+. AC stimulating effects of EGF, cAMP and insulin decreased in the presence of 100 microM Ca2+, and AC stimulating effect of cAMP decreased also in the presence of calmodulin antagonists (1 mM). At the same time, stimulating effect of D-glucose in the presence of Ca2+ and calmodulin antagonists did not change essentially. The data obtained speak in favor of the presence of calcium-sensitive forms of AC in ciliate T. pyriformis which mediate enzyme stimulation by EGF, cAMP, insulin, and serotonin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effects of chlorpromazine combined with Platycodon grandiflorum on the striatal extracellular dopamine level in rats and to research the interaction and the mechanism of action after combining traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine. METHOD Twenty four rats were randomly assigned into four groups: the control group, Platycodon group, chlorpromazine group and chlorpromazined combined with P. grandiflorum group. The level of dopamine in CSF microdialysis samples was detected with high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detector after administration for 10 days. RESULT The CSF level of DA (1.52 +/- 0.34) microg x L(-1) was significantly higher (P < 0.01) in chlorpromazine combined with P. grandiflorum group than that in the chlorpromazine group (1.25 +/- 0.22) microg x L(-1) (P < 0.05) and that in the normal control (1.06 +/- 0.24) microg x L(-1) (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The combining utilization of P. grandiflorum and chlorpromazine may increase the DA concentration of monoamine neurotransmitters, which results in under the therapeutic effect is maintained, the dosage of chlorpromazine used to individuals are decreased and the incidence rate of the adverse reactions of chlorpromazine will descend.

Abstract
Drug-membrane interactions assume considerable importance in pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism. Here, we present the interaction of chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ) with supported phospholipid bilayers. It was demonstrated that CPZ binds rapidly to phospholipid bilayers, disturbing the molecular ordering of the phospholipids. These interactions were observed to follow first order kinetics, with an activation energy of approximately 420 kJ mol(-1). Time-dependent membrane disruption was also observed for the interaction with CPZ, such that holes appeared in the phospholipid bilayer after the interaction of CPZ. For this process of membrane disruption, "lag-burst" kinetics was demonstrated.
