Bioactivity Comments
Zuclopenthixol (cis(Z)-cloflupentixol) blocks contralateral circling behaviour in unilaterally 6-hydroxy-dopamine lesioned rats stimulated by either dopamine D1 or D2 receptor agonists [1], supporting its antagonist effects at both receptor subtypes. PET imaging in human subjects shows zuclopenthixol occupancy of dopamine D2 receptors at concentrations high enough to cause sedation [2]. As there appears to be no publicly available affinity data for this drug at its human molecular targets we have not mapped primary drug targets in this instance.
