ANTI-EMETIC ACTIVITY OF PHENOTHIAZINES IN RELATION TO THEIR CHEMICAL STRUCTURE. 1963

K P BHARGAVA, and O CHANDRA

Twelve phenothiazine derivatives have been studied for anti-emetic potency in dogs against emesis induced by apomorphine. The PD(50)s of all the compounds were determined and the activities compared with chlorpromazine hydrochloride as standard. Thioproperazine methanesulphonate was 300 times more active than chlorpromazine hydrochloride and twice as active as perphenazine sodium citrate. The anti-emetic activity of the compounds has been correlated with their chemical structure.

D011346	Prochlorperazine	A phenothiazine antipsychotic used principally in the treatment of NAUSEA; VOMITING; and VERTIGO. It is more likely than CHLORPROMAZINE to cause EXTRAPYRAMIDAL DISORDERS.

D002746	Chlorpromazine	The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup.

D004285	Dogs	The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065)	Canis familiaris,Dog
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
