In Vitro

Pimozide is a dopamine receptor antagonist, with Kis of 1.4 nM, 2.5 nM and 588 nM for dopamine D2, D3 and D1 receptors, respectively; also has affinity at α1-adrenoceptor and 5-HT1A, with Kis of 39 nM and 310 nM, respectively[1]. Pimozide acts as an inhibitor of STAT3. Pimozide (0-15 μM) shows inhibitory of the proliferation of U2OS cells, with IC50 value at 24, 48, and 72 h of 22.16 ± 2.54, 17.49 ± 1.14 and 13.78 ± 0.34 μM, respectively. Pimozide (10 μM) inhibits the colony- and sphere-forming abilities of osteosarcoma cells. Pimozide (15 μM) induces G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest, suppresses the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) signaling to inhibit cell viability, and produces ROS generation through inhibiting antioxidant enzyme gene catalase expression in osteosarcoma cells[2]. Pimozide acts as an inhibitor of STAT5. Pimozide reduces the expression of endogenous STAT5 target genes, and decreases STAT5 tyrosine phosphorylation[3].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.42 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (3.62 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (16.7 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

Cell Assay
[2]

Cell proliferation is assessed by WST-8 colorimetric assay. Human osteosarcoma cells are plated in 96-well plates with 2,500 cells per well and exposed to the treatment of different concentrations of pimozide for various time intervals (24 h, 48 h, and 72 h). The WST-8 solution is added to each well after indicated time. After incubated at 37°C for another 4 hours, the absorbance ismeasured at 450 nm using a multi-well plate reader[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
