Description of Zuclopenthixol

Zuclopenthixol is a thioxanthene derivative which acts as a mixed dopamine D1/D2 receptor antagonist.

After acute treatment, Zuclopenthixol (0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg)-treated animals exhibit ethopharmacological profiles characterized by a decrease in offensive behaviors without impairment of motor activity (0.2 mg/kg). In contrast, the antiaggressive action of the highest dose used (0.4 mg/kg) is accompanied by a marked increase of immobility. After subchronic treatment, no tolerance to Zuclopenthixol antiaggressive or motor activity is observed[1]. Administration of Zuclopenthixol (0.7 and 1.4 mg/kg) significantly elevate MDA level compared to respective controls. Nevertheless, there is no difference between the two dose levels with respect to their effect on rat brain MDA level. Post hoc pairwise comparisons between the means of groups (n=12) receiving different dose levels of Zuclopenthixol reveal that administration of 1.4 mg/kg of Zuclopenthixol significantly reduces GSH level compared to both vehicle-treated and Zuclopenthixol (0.7 mg/kg)-treated animals (P<0.001). Nevertheless, the lower dose of the drug does not affect rat brain GSH level. Animals receiving 0.7 or 1.4 mg/kg of Zuclopenthixol exhibits significantly higher GSH levels than SCO treated animals. Administration of 0.7 mg/kg of Zuclopenthixol significantly elevated GSHPx activity compared to vehicle treated animals[2].

Protocol of Zuclopenthixol

Animal experiment:

Mice[1]Zuclopenthixol (0.025-0.4 mg/kg) is administered acutely or subchronically for 10 days, on agonistic behavior elicited by isolation in male mice. Individually housed mice are exposed to anosmic "standard opponents" 30 min after the drug administration, and encounters are videotaped and evaluated using an ethologically based analysis[1]. Rats[2]Male albino rats of Wistar strain weighing 200-250 g are used. They are kept in a temperature of 23-25°C with alternating 12-hour light and dark cycles and allowed free access to food and water. Animals are divided into six groups (n=6). Two groups receive two dose levels of Zuclopenthixol (0.7 and 1.4 mg/kg i.p.) 60 min and SCO (1.4 mg/kg i.p.) 30 min before decapitation. A third group of rats is injected with saline, with the same content of ethanol (20% v/v) and vegetable oil (2.8% v/v) in the test solution, 60 min and then SCO (1.4 mg/kg i.p.) 30 min before decapitation. The forth and fifth groups of rats receive two dose levels of Zuclopenthixol (0.7 and 1.4 mg/kg i.p.) 60 min and saline 30 min before decapitation. A control group of six animals is given saline, with the same content of ethanol (20% v/v) and vegetable oil (2.8% v/v) in the test solution, 60 min and then saline 30 min before decapitation and is run concurrently with drug-treated groups[2].
