Description
Sources: https://www.drugs.com/uk/promazine-25mg-tablets-leaflet.html
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB00420 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22793499 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2863832 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12084453

Promazine (Sparine) is a phenothiazine neuroleptic used for short-term management of moderate to severe psychomotor agitation and treatment of agitation and restlessness in the elderly. Promazine is an antagonist at types 1, 2, and 4 dopamine receptors, 5-HT receptor types 2A and 2C, muscarinic receptors 1 through 5, alpha(1)-receptors, and histamine H1-receptors. Promazine's antipsychotic effect is due to antagonism at dopamine and serotonin type 2 receptors, with greater activity at serotonin 5-HT2 receptors than at dopamine type-2 receptors. This may explain the lack of extrapyramidal effects. Promazine does not appear to block dopamine within the tuberoinfundibular tract, explaining the lower incidence of hyperprolactinemia than with typical antipsychotic agents or risperidone. Antagonism at muscarinic receptors, H1-receptors, and alpha(1)-receptors also occurs with promazine. Promazine is not approved for human use in the United States. It is available in the US for veterinary use under the names Promazine and Tranquazine.

In Vitro Use Guide

African green monkey kidney cells (Vero 76) were used for activity evaluation. The cells were grown in minimal essential medium (MEM) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS; Hyclone Laboratories; Logan UT). For antiviral assays, the serum was reduced to 2% and 50 µg/ml gentamicin added to the medium. Promazine was tested at varying concentrations (four log10 or eight 1/2 log10 dilutions). Virus and compound were added in equal volumes to near-confluent cell monolayers in 96- well tissue culture plates. The multiplicity of infection ranged from 0.001 to 0.004 in order to produce viral cytopathic effects (CPE) for each strain of virus in 100% of the cells in the virus control wells within 3–4 days. The plates were incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere until the cells in the virus control wells showed complete viral CPE as observed by light microscopy. Each concentration of drug was assayed for virus inhibition in triplicate and for cytotoxicity in duplicate. Six wells per plate were set aside as uninfected, untreated cell controls and six wells per plate received virus only and represented controls for virus replication. Calpain inhibitor IV was included as positive control drugs
