Comment: Zuclopenthixol is a thioxanthene class typical antipsychotic. Chemically it is the cis-isomer of clopenthixol. The CAS registry number (53772-83-1) submitted with the WHO INN record for zuclopenthixol maps to PubChem CID 5311507.
Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖View more information in the IUPHAR Pharmacology Education Project: zuclopenthixol |

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. |
