45 Mechanism of Action of chlorpromazine?
Answer: Trad name(thorazine)
Class(Aliphatic, Antiemetic, Antipsychotic, CNS Agent, Phenothiazine)
Mechanism of Action:
-Chlorpromazine hydrochloride is a dimethylamine derivative of phenothiazine which the exact mechanism of action is unknown. It is a
psychotropic agent that produces sedative and antiemetic activities in the CNS, as well on other organ systems. It has weak anticholinergic and
strong antiadrenergic activity and also possesses slight ganglionic, antihistaminic, and antiserotonin activity -Chlorpromazine is an aliphatic
phenothiazine antipsychotic which blocks postsynaptic mesolimbic dopaminergic receptors in the brain; exhibits a strong alpha-adrenergic
blocking effect and depresses the release of hypothalamic and hypophyseal hormones; believed to depress the reticular activating system, thus
affecting basal metabolism, body temperature, wakefulness, vasomotor tone, and emesis.

It is a psychotropic agent that produces sedative and antiemetic activities in the CNS, as well on other organ systems. It has weak anticholinergic and strong antiadrenergic activity and also possesses slight ganglionic, antihistaminic, and antiserotonin activity -Chlorpromazine is an aliphatic phenothiazine antipsychotic which blocks postsynaptic mesolimbic dopaminergic receptors in the brain; exhibits a strong alpha-adrenergic blocking effect and depresses the release of hypothalamic and hypophyseal hormones; believed to depress the reticular activating system, thus affecting basal metabolism, body temperature, wakefulness, vasomotor tone, and emesis. 85- Which of the following agents can exert an antipsychotic effect which appears to be due to a dopamine receptor blockade in the central nervous system?
