We compared the potency of the interaction of three antipsychotic drugs, i.e., chlorpromazine (CPZ), haloperidol (HAL) and sulpiride (SUL), with the plasma membrane in the rat brain. CPZ loading (≥ 100 μM) dose-dependently increased both membrane permeability (assessed as [F]2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-6-phosphate release from brain slices) and membrane fluidity (assessed as the reduction in the...
