Possible mutagenicity of the psychoactive phenothiazine derivative perazine in vivo and in vitro

Abstract: Human lymphocyte cultures from 55 schizophrenic subjects and one manic-depressive subject being treated with the phenothiazine derivative perazine and with other drugs were analyzed with respect to chromosomal damage. The frequency of exchange-type aberrations in these subjects was more than double that in clinically normal control subjects. No correlation was detectable between the aberration frequency and sex, age, smoking and drinking habits, and treatment conditions. It is possible that the elevation of th… Show more

“…The typical AP haloperidol has been shown to induce DNA methylation changes in the brain and peripheral tissue of rats [ 37 ]. Another typical APs phenothiazines may contribute to liver toxicity [ 23 ], extrapyramidal side effects [ 38 ] and chromosomal DNA damage [ 39 ]. Thus, these studies suggest that typical APs may regulate biological functions related to nuclear protein and stress responses in the liver of schizophrenia patients.…”

“…Among the four AP drugs compared, the phenothiazines affected most of the genes, and a subset of those genes (n = 26) were associated with stress responses (adjusted p = 0.001, fold enrichment = 3.21). This indicates that phenothiazines (chlorpromazine, fluphenazine and thioridazine) with similar chemical structure produce robust effects on gene expression that could contribute to liver toxicity [ 23 ], extrapyramidal side effects [ 38 ] and even chromosomal DNA damage [ 39 ] observed with phenothiazines. For instance, we found that expression of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, was dramatically increased by the phenothiazines (FC 21, FDR-adjusted p = 0.0002).…”
