Application

Acepromazine maleate has been used:
  • as a component of anesthesia cocktail to test its effects on behavioral changes in rats
  • as a component of anesthesia cocktail to study its effects on lung resistance of rats
  • as an anti-psychotic pharmaceutical agent to study its cytotoxic effects on malignant glioma in glioblastoma (GBM) cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acepromazine is a phenothiazine antipsychotic comonly used as a veterinary drug (horses, dogs and cats). The compound is an analogue antipsychotic drug chlorpromazine (#C8138). The drug is thought to block receptors of dopamine in the brain. Recently it was discover that the compound inhibits ABCG2 transported protein, which overexpression in tumors is associated with drug resistance.
