| Bioactivity | Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride, an antipsychotic agent, acts by blocking central dopamine receptors. Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride is a potent α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist. Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride is a potent NUPR1 inhibitor exerting anticancer activity. Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride is a calmodulin inhibitor, and also inhibits P-glycoprotein. Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride can be used for the research of schizophrenia. Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride acts as a reversible inhibitor of influenza virus morphogenesis[1][2][3][4][5]. |
| Invitro | Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride is a long-established, widely used 'conventional' antipsychotic agent. Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride has been an extensively studied drug molecule that has been used as a calmodulin inhibitor[3][4].Trifluoperazine dihydrochloride acts as a reversible inhibitor of influenza virus morphogenesis, but not budding, by disturbing cellular CaM and/or CaM-dependent functions[5]. |
