Trifluopromazine (TFPro) administration to rats (50 mg/kg, ip) 30 min before or 6 or 10 hr after CCl4 treatment (1 ml/kg ip in olive oil) partially prevented necrogenic effects of this compound at 24 hr. TFPro has only minor effects on the covalent binding (CB) of CCl4-reactive metabolites to cellular constituents and even an enhancing action on CCl4-promoted lipid peroxidation (LP). Determination of TFPro levels in liver 1 and 3 hr after administration by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry showed its presence in that tissue at concentrations well above those needed for calmodulin (CaM) inhibitory effects of this drug. TFPro lowered body temperature in CCl4-treated animals during the 24-hr observation period. Protective effects of TFPro at 6 or 10 hr, when most of the CB and all of the LP has already occurred, suggest but do not prove a role for CaM in late stages of CCl4-induced necrogenic effects. Decreases in the body temperature of CCl4-poisoned animals provoked by TFPro might also play a role in the preventive actions of this drug.

D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.
