Melanocyte-stimulating hormone—mimetic action of the phenothiazines
AbstractWe have compared the melanophore-stimulating action of four phenothiazines, trifluoperazine, perphenazine, chlorpromazine, and prochlorperazine, with α-MSH on the skin of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, using a new rate method of bioassay. The dose-response curves for the phenothiazines were parallel to that of α-MSH, and when given together α ...
