Biochem/physiol Actions

Prochlorperazine is an anti-nausea and neuroleptic agent. It is known to cause neuropsychiatric side effects. Prochlorperazine inhibits the action of dopamine in the central nervous system. It acts as an antiemetic drug and prevents vomiting and stimulates sleep. Prochlorperazine is useful as a tranquilizer in the treatment of schizophrenia and nonpsychotic anxiety.

The effects of a range of phenothiazines were examined on 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) receptors in membranes from NIE-115 neuroblastoma cells using radioligand binding. Chlorpromazine, fluphenazine, perphenazine, trifluoperazine and prochlorperazine inhibited specific binding of both the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist [3H]GR65630 and agonist

Bacterial virulence factors are attractive targets for the development of therapeutics. Type IV pili, which are associated with a remarkable array of properties including motility, the interaction between bacteria and attachment to biotic and abiotic surfaces, represent particularly appealing virulence

Aging strongly influences human morbidity and mortality. Thus, aging-preventive compounds could greatly improve our health and lifespan. Here we screened for such compounds, known as geroprotectors, employing the power of transcriptomics to predict biological age. Using age-stratified human tissue transcriptomes
