Product Description
Thioridazine HCl is an orally bioactive dopamine receptor D2 family protein antagonist (inhibitor) with potent anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) activity. Thioridazine HCl is also a potent inhibitor of the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway and has anti-angiogenic effects. Thioridazine HCl displays anti-proliferation and apoptosis-inducing effects in multiple types of cancer/tumor cells, with specificity for targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs).
Thioridazine HCl is the hydrochloride salt of thioridazine, a piperidine phenothiazine derivative and a typical antipsychotic. It is a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist with antipsychotic and anxiolytic activity. Thioridazine has been used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. More recently, it has been investigated for its potential antibacterial, anti-angiogenic, and anticancer properties, including its ability to kill cancer stem cells.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Thioridazine HCl primarily targets the dopamine D2 receptor in the mesolimbic system, decreasing dopamine activity to alleviate psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. It also binds to serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, decreasing serotonin activity. It acts as a calcium channel blocker and has been shown to target the PI3-K/Akt/mTOR/p70 S6K pathway to induce apoptosis and G1 cell cycle arrest in cancer cells.
ln Vitro
Concentrated thioridazine (0.01-100 μM; 48 h) treatment decreases NCI-N87 and AGS cell viability [2]. Thioridazine (1-15 μM; 24-48 h) promotes cell death via the mitochondrial pathway and pharyngeal pathways. Thioridazine (15 μM; 24 h) lowers cervical (HeLa, Caski, and C33A) and endometrial [2]. Cancer cell viability (HEC-1-A and KLE) [4]. ;24 h) By interfering with PI3K/Akt, it causes cervical cancer cells to develop in the G1 cell cycle [4]. Development of conjugated Bowman immotile cell lines that are susceptible to thioridazine inhibitors [3].
Thioridazine HCl exhibits antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing effects in various cancer cell lines, including cervical, endometrial, and breast cancer cells. It triggers apoptosis by targeting the PI3-K/Akt/mTOR/p70 S6K pathway and induces G1 cell cycle arrest. It also displays antibacterial activity. It acts as a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist and calcium channel blocker.
ln Vivo
Thioridazine (25 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection every three days for three weeks) can decrease the amount of pluripotent cell carcinoma (EC) cells within the tumor and increase the survival time of tumor-bearing animals [5].
Thioridazine HCl has been shown to successfully kill human cancer stem cells (CSCs). Its in vivo effects are primarily related to its antipsychotic activity, reducing psychotic symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. It exhibits sedative and anti-anxiety activities. Its antibacterial and anticancer properties are being investigated in preclinical models.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays for Thioridazine HCl measure its affinity for dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2 receptors. The compound is incubated with membrane preparations expressing the receptors and a radiolabeled ligand, and displacement is measured. Calcium channel blocking activity can be assessed using patch-clamp electrophysiology. Kinase inhibition assays can evaluate its effects on the PI3-K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

In vitro cellular assays for Thioridazine HCl are used to assess its anticancer and antibacterial activities. Cancer cell lines are treated with the compound, and cell viability is measured using MTT or similar assays. Apoptosis is detected by flow cytometry using Annexin V staining. Cell cycle analysis is performed using propidium iodide staining. Antibacterial activity is assessed using broth microdilution or agar diffusion methods.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Nude mice and Rag2KO mice were injected with iPS cells or NT2D1 cells [5]
Doses: 25 mg/kg Administration
Doses: 5.0 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection) to reduce oral behavior and selectively prevent repetitive head bobbing [1].
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection every 3 days for 3 weeks.
Experimental Results: diminished the number of OCT4-expressing cells in malignant teratocarcinoma and prolonged the survival of tumor-bearing mice. Has no effect on fertility.
In vivo animal models for Thioridazine HCl are primarily used to study its antipsychotic effects. Rodent models of schizophrenia, such as the amphetamine-induced hyperactivity model or the prepulse inhibition test, are used to evaluate its efficacy. Its anticancer activity can be studied in xenograft mouse models, where tumor growth is measured after treatment with the compound.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Thioridazine HCl is well-absorbed after oral administration and is extensively metabolized in the liver. It is highly protein-bound and has a long half-life. Its metabolism involves hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes, particularly CYP2D6. The compound and its metabolites are excreted in urine and feces. Its pharmacokinetics can be affected by genetic polymorphisms in CYP2D6, leading to variability in drug levels and response.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Thioridazine HCl is associated with a significant risk of cardiac toxicity, including QT interval prolongation and torsades de pointes, which has limited its clinical use. Other side effects include extrapyramidal symptoms, sedation, weight gain, and anticholinergic effects. Due to its cardiotoxicity, thioridazine is now rarely used as a first-line antipsychotic and is reserved for patients who have not responded to other treatments.

Additional Infomation
Thioridazine hydrochloride is a hydrochloride salt. It is a first-generation antipsychotic and anti-aging drug. It contains a thioridazine group. Thioridazine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride form of thioridazine, a piperidine phenothiazine derivative and a dopamine antagonist with antipsychotic effects. Thioridazine hydrochloride binds to the postsynaptic dopamine receptor D2 in the mesolimbic system, thereby reducing dopamine activity and alleviating psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. In addition, the drug also binds to serotonin 2 receptors, leading to a decrease in serotonin activity. A phenothiazine antipsychotic drug used to treat mental illnesses, including schizophrenia.
