Product Description

Phenothiazine (NSC 2037; ENT38; ENT 38; NSC-2037) is a potent dopamine-2 (D2) receptor antagonist used as antipsychotic medications for the treatment of schizophrenia and manifestations of psychotic disorders. It acts by preventing the dopamine-2 (D2) receptor, which lessens dopamine's effects on the brain.

ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Phenothiazines primarily replace the dialkylaminoalkyl groups at position 10 and, in addition, the small groups at position 2 that show beneficial properties like antihelmintic, neuroleptic, antiemetic, and antihistaminic properties. With minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 0.4 μg/mL and 1.5 μg/mL, respectively, 2-trifluoromethyl-10-(4-aminobutyl)phenothiazine inhibits S. cerevisiae strains and T. mentagrophites. With MICs ranging from 7.8 μg/mL to 30 μg/mL, 10-carbamoylalkylphenothiazines exhibit notable activity against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis. Significant actibacterial activity against S. aureus is demonstrated by tetracyclic phenothiazines modified with the naphthoquinone ring, with a MIC50 of 12.5 μg/mL. With the 2-chloro-10-chloroethylureidobutyl derivative providing GI50 of 1.4 μM and 1.6 μM against 4 leukemia cell lines and 7 colon cancer cell lines, phenothiazines with the butylene linker are more effective than those with the propylene linker. 10-Amino(hydroxy)propylphenothiazines (5 μM) induces a marked G2/M phase of cell-cycle arrest followed by cell death in human transformed WI38VA cells after 2-day incubation. [1] Prior to excretion, phenothiazine drugs undergo a prolonged metabolism in the body, which includes conjugation of sulphate and glucuronide, ring hydroxylation, ring sulphoxidation, N-demethylation, and N-oxidation. The binding affinities of phenothiazines to α2-adrenoceptors are significantly lower than those to dopamine D2 receptors and al-adrenoceptors. In [2] Phenothiazines exhibit noteworthy efficacy in vitro against strains of M. tuberculosis that are susceptible to polydrug and multidrug resistance, while also augmenting the efficacy of agents utilized for initial therapeutic interventions.[3]

Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
BECAUSE OF ITS LOW SOLUBILITY, RATE OF ITS ABSORPTION FROM GI TRACT IS DEPENDENT ON PARTICLE SIZE. MICRONIZED FORM OF DRUG IS ABSORBED RAPIDLY.

SOME PHENOTHIAZINE IS CONVERTED WITHIN GUT TO SOL DERIV...WHICH ARE ABSORBED INTO PORTAL VENOUS SYSTEM. ...DERIV ARE SECRETED IN URINE & ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS RED COLOR WHEN EXPOSED TO AIR. THEY ALSO APPEAR IN BILE & IN MILK OF LACTATING ANIMALS. URINARY & FECAL EXCRETION OF PHENOTHIAZINE OR ITS DERIV ACCOUNTS FOR 80% OF ORAL DOSE IN SHEEP; FATE OF REMAINING 20% IS UNKNOWN.

Additional Infomation
Phenothiazine is a light green to steel-blue powder. Acquires a greenish-brown tint under exposure to sunlight. (NTP, 1992)
10H-phenothiazine is the 10H-tautomer of phenothiazine. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a radical scavenger and a ferroptosis inhibitor. It is a tautomer of a 4aH-phenothiazine, a 1H-phenothiazine and a 3H-phenothiazine.
Phenothiazine (PTZ) is an organic thiazine compound.
Phenothiazine has been reported in Mimosa pudica with data available.
Phenothiazine is a class of agents exhibiting antiemetic, antipsychotic, antihistaminic, and anticholinergic activities. Phenothiazines antagonize the dopamine D2-receptor in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain, potentially preventing chemotherapy-induced emesis. In addition, these agents have peripherally or centrally antagonistic activity against alpha adrenergic, serotonergic, histaminic, and muscarinic receptors. (NCI)

Use of the drug in weak animals, particularly those that are anemic and emaciated, is strictly contraindicated. Animals known to be constipated should not be treated with phenothiazine, since retention of the drug in the digestive tract and resulting absorption of greater than normal quantities is likely to lead to drug poisoning. Use of phenothiazine in pregnancy is contraindicated only during the last month of gestation.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 40~100 mg/mL (200.7~501.8 mM)
Water: <1 mg/mL
Ethanol: <1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (12.55 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (12.55 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*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
