Two phenothiazine compounds, trifluoperazine and chlorpromazine, inhibited growth in vitro of the five most common pathogenic yeasts, with MICs ranging from 10 to 40 micrograms/ml. Daily intraperitoneal injections of trifluoperazine (4 to 7 mg/kg of body weight) increased the survival of mice experimentally infected with Candida albicans or Cryptococcus neoformans. The potential use of these dr...

There are other intriguing features of the present case. At no time was the patient hypertensive, in contrast to the usual situation in Conn's syndrome or bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. As Conn (1964) pointed out, however, the rise in pressure is variable and in the early stages may be minimal. The observations on blood pressure harmonize also with the measurements of plasma renin activity. In ...

Charge delocalization in the mixed-valent monocationic forms of phenothiazine-decorated chalcogenophenes is explored by cyclic voltammetry, optical absorption and EPR spectroscopy. Single units of furan, thiophene, selenophene and tellurophene are found to mediate electronic coupling between the phenothiazines attached to their 2- and 5-positions roughly equally well. Electronic communication s...

Patient of "psychotic depression" who digested large quantity of water and subsequently developed grand mal seizure and serum sodium levels of less than 121 meq/litre is presented. The physiology of psychogenic polydypsia and related disorders is reviewed. The relation of this disorder to the use of phenothiazines and antidepressants is considered.

We present a convenient method to prepare fluorophores 3- or 3,7-divinyl substituted 10H-phenothiazines and their protonation forms can aggregate to become fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs) with bright fluorescent spots in the lysosomes of cancer cells but not normal cells.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of classic and atypical neuroleptics on the activity of rat CYP2C6 measured as a rate of warfarin 7-hydroxylation. The reaction was studied in control liver microsomes in the presence of neuroleptics, as well as in microsomes of rats treated intraperitoneally for one day or two weeks (twice a day) with pharmacological doses (mg/kg) o...
