Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
3.75mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 75 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5%DMSO Corn oil
5.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 100 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Clozapine (HF 1854, LX 100-129) is an atypical antipsychotic drug by acting as a 5-HT antagonist, used in the treatment of schizophrenia.
Targets
5-HT2 [1]
In vitro Clozapine (10, 20 mg/kg) significantly increases the number of Fos-positive neurons in the nucleus accumbens, medial prefrontal cortex and lateral septal nucleus. [1] Clozapine induces zif268 but not c-fos mRNA in rat striatum, while Haloperidol induces c-Fos-like immunoreactivity in the caudate-putamen. [2] Clozapine is more selective for D4 receptors compared to D2 receptors. Clozapine is a mixed but weak D1/D2 antagonist. [3] Clozapine produces a marked facilitation (300-400%) of NMDA-evoked responses in a concentration-dependent manner with EC50 of 14 nM. Clozapine, but not haloperidol, produces bursts of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs), which are blocked by glutamate receptor antagonists, suggesting that these EPSPs are the result of increasing release of excitatory amino acids. [4] Clozapine is a full agonist at the muscarinic M4 receptor (EC50 = 11 nM), producing inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation. Clozapine potently antagonizes agonist-induced responses at the other four muscarinic receptor subtypes. [5]
In vivo Clozapine exhibits an "inverted-U" shaped dose-response curve, reversing the apomorphine-induced loss of prepulse inhibition (PPI) at low doses but not at high doses in the rats. Clozapine decreases PPI independent of apomorphine treatment in the rats. [6]
