Clozapine dihydrochloride  (Synonyms: HF 1854 dihydrochloride)

Cat. No.: HY-14539B
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Clozapine (HF 1854) dihydrochloride is an antipsychotic used for the research of schizophrenia. Clozapine has high affinity for a number of neuroreceptors. Clozapine is a potent antagonist of dopamine D2 with a Ki of 75 nM. Clozapine inhibits the muscarinic M1 receptor and serotonin 5HT2A receptor with Kis of 9.5 nM and 4 nM, respectively. Clozapine is also a potent and selective agonist at the muscarinic M4 receptor (EC50=11 nM).

    Representative current clamp recording of a NPYDRN/vlPAG-hM4Di neuron with the bath of Clozapine (5 μM). Average membrane potential and firing frequency before and after Clozapine application to inhibit NPY DRN/vlPAGneurons were also recorded. Clozapine effectively inhibited hM4Di+ NPYDRN/vlPAG neurons with decreased neuronal membrane potential and firing frequency.

    Percentage of body weight changes, daily food intake and its area under curve (AUC) of mCherry-restraint and hM4Di-restraint mice. Clozapine (i.p.; 0.2mg/kg; 30 min before restraint for 14 d) caused NPYhM4Di mice to consume less food and lost more body weight than NPYmCherry mice during chronic restraint stress.

    In Vitro

    Clozapine (HF 1854) is a D2 receptor antagonist with a Ki of 75 nM, blocks the serotonin 5HT2A receptor with a Ki of 4 nM, inhibits the muscarinic M1 receptor with a Ki of 9.5 nM, blocks α2-adrenoceptor with a Ki value of 51 nM[1].
    Clozapine (0-1 μM; 24 h) downregulates 5-HT6 and upregulates 5-HT7 receptors in HeLa cells[2].
    Clozapine is a full agonist at the muscarinic M4 receptor (EC50=11 nM) expressed in CHO cells[4].

    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.
