Bioactivity | Ziprasidone (CP-88059), an orally active antipsychotic agent, is a combined 5-HT and dopamine receptor antagonist[1]. Ziprasidone mesylate trihydrate has affinities for Rat D2 (Ki=4.8 nM), 5-HT2A (Ki=0.42 nM) and 5-HT1A (Ki=3.4 nM)[1]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Ziprasidone (0-500 nM, 150 seconds) blocks wild-type hERG current[2]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line: | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Ziprasidone (oral gavage; 20 mg/kg; once daily; 7 weeks) results in weight loss, low level physical activity, high resting energy expenditure and greater capacity for thermogenesis when subjected to cold[3]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
