Haloperidol (Synonyms: McNJR 1625, NSC 170973, NSC 615296, R 1625)

Catalog No.GC17599

Haloperidol is a classic antipsychotic and dopamine D2-like receptor antagonist, as well as an ion channel inhibitor that inhibits a variety of ion channels, such as G-protein-activated inwardly rectifying potassium channels, calcium-activated potassium channels, HERG and HEAG potassium channels, as well as L-, N- and P-type calcium channels.

Description of Haloperidol

Haloperidol is a classic antipsychotic and dopamine D2-like receptor antagonist, as well as an ion channel inhibitor that inhibits a variety of ion channels, such as G-protein-activated inwardly rectifying potassium channels, calcium-activated potassium channels, HERG and HEAG potassium channels, as well as L-, N- and P-type calcium channels[1-4].

Haloperidol (5-100 μM) treatment significantly decreased the viability of U87, U251, and T98 cells with IC50 values of 23, 38, and 35 μM, respectively. Haloperidol induced apoptosis of glioblastoma cells in a dose-dependent manner and inhibited cell migration and expression of CD24 and CD44[2]. Nontoxic concentrations of Haloperidol (1-30 μM) showed a dose-dependent enhancement of VBL cytotoxicity in VBL-resistant human leukemia (K562/VBL) cells, but had no similar effect in parent cells[3].

In adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, Haloperidol (0.05 and 2 mg/kg) had no effect on cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus (DG) and the number of surviving newly generated neurons in DG after bromodeoxyuracil (BrdU) administration[4]. In adult male Wistar rats treated with Haloperidol (1-10 mg/kg), levels of the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) active substance (TBAR) in the striatum (ST) were increased and TBAR levels in the cortex (CX) were decreased[5].

Protocol of Haloperidol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

U87 and U251 cell lines

Preparation Method

U87 and U251 cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of Haloperidol for 72 h, and cell viability was measured using the MTT assay.

Reaction Conditions

5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 μM, 72 h

Applications

Haloperidol inhibited the viability of U87 and U251 cells with IC50 values of 23 μM and 38 μM, respectively.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Adult female Long-Evans rats

Preparation Method

After intraperitoneal injection of haloperidol, the rats were decapitated and the brain tissue was removed for frozen sections.

Dosage form

1, 2.5, 5, 7.5 or 10 mg/kg, 2 h, i.p.

Applications

Haloperidol in large doses reduces the cataleptic response and increases noradrenaline metabolism in the brain of the rat.
