Administration to rats of the calmodulin (CaM) inhibitors Thioridazine (TDZ) or Imipramine (IMP) (50 mg/kg ip) or Chlorpromazine (CPZ) at a dose of 25 mg/kg, ip 6 hr after olive oil or CCl4 (1 ml/kg, ip as a 20% olive oil solution) significantly increased the GSH content in liver of CCl4 poisoned animals but not in controls. The analysis of present observations and past results with Trifluoperazine, suggest that increases in GSH content in CCl4 poisoned animals treated with protective anticalmodulins are a consequence of prevention and not the cause of their preventive effects.

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.
