Abstract
Flunarizine dose dependently inhibits the binding of both [3H]spiperone and [3H]SCH 23390 with Ki values of 112 +/- 9 and 532 +/- 39 nM, respectively. The inhibition of [3H]spiperone binding by flunarizine was competitive as revealed by the Schild plot. The results indicate that flunarizine is a fairly potent dopamine D2 receptor antagonist and offer a possible explanation for the extrapyramidal side-effects observed in patients treated with the drug.Entities:
