Product Description

Perphenazine (also known as Perphenazin, Trilafon, Etaperazine) is a phenothiazine derivative and a dopamine antagonist with antiemetic and antipsychotic properties. Perphenazine has a somewhat strong potency and primarily blocks dopamine 2 (D2) receptors, but it may also have antagonistic effects at histamine 1 (H1), cholinergic M1, and alpha 1 adrenergic receptors in the vomiting center, which would lessen nausea and vomiting. Treatment for specific mental/emotional disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, manic phase of bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder) has been implemented.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
D2 Receptor ( Ki = 0.56 nM ); D3 Receptor ( Ki = 0.43 nM ); D4 Receptor ( Ki = 28.5 nM ); 5-HT2A Receptor ( Ki = 5.6 nM ); 5-HT6 Receptor ( Ki = 17 nM ); 5-HT7 Receptor ( Ki = 23 nM ); H2 Receptor ( Ki = 132 nM ); 5-HT1A Receptor ( Ki = 421 nM )
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Perphenazine is a phenothiazine with a relatively high potency that primarily blocks dopamine 2 (D2) receptors. However, it may also have antagonistic effects at histamine 1 (H1), cholinergic M1, and alpha 1 adrenergic receptors in the vomiting center, which can lessen nausea and vomiting[1]. Perphenazine causes a drop in cellular ATP levels, caspase-3 activation, mitochondrial damage, and cell death. Antioxidants and pan-caspase inhibitors both partially inhibit the perphenazine-induced cell death[4]. Perphenazine did not significantly affect the viability of melanocytes in the concentration range of 0.0001 to 0.01 µM. A concentration-dependent decrease in cell viability is observed when the drug is administered to cells at higher concentrations. The EC50 value of perphenazine is 2.76 μM. At 1.0 and 3.0 µM perphenazine concentrations also reduce melanin content and tyrosinase activity[5].

ln Vivo
Perphenazine taken orally is readily absorbed. Following oral administration, the drug peaks in 1-3 hours, while the metabolite 7-hydroxyperphenzaine peaks in 2-3 hours. The elimination half-lives of perphenazine and its metabolite 7-hydroxyperphenazine are 9–12 and 10–19 hours, respectively[1]. For many years, perphenazine has been used as a psychotropic medication in the treatment of various mental illnesses. Perphenazine considerably lengthens the QT interval in the isolated heart of rats and causes a significant number of arrhythmias at both the high and therapeutic concentrations. Perphenazine exposure that is repeated does not eliminate this proarrhythmogenic effect[3].
Enzyme Assay
Perphenazine Is a common antipsychotic medication that inhibits the α1A adrenergic receptor, the 5-HT2A receptor, the D2/D3 dopamine receptor, the D2L receptor, and the histamine H1 receptor (H1) with Ki values of 5.6, 10, 0.765/0.13, 3.4, and 8 nM. Ki, 5-HT2A: 5.6 nM; Ki,α1A: 10 nM; Ki,D2/D3): 0.765/0.13 nM; Ki,D2L receptor: 3.4 nM; Ki,H1: 8 nM. As for the IC50 values, they are as follows.
Cell Assay
On 96-well plates, cells are plated, and medications are applied for varied lengths of time. After that, the cells are incubated for one hour with the MTS assay reagent. After that, a microplate reader is used to read the plates at 490 nm.
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in saline; 1, 5, and 10 mg/kg; s.c.
Male Wistar albino rats

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
