MIC: 10-100 μg/mL in most of the strains
Flupenthixol, introduced in 1965 by Lundbeck, marketed under brand names such asDepixol.Flupenthixolis atypical antipsychoticdrugof thethioxantheneclass. In addition to single drug preparations, flupenthixol is also available asflupentixol/melitracen, which is acombination product.
In vitro: The minimum inhibitory concentration of flupenthixol was determined by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards agar dilution method. MICs ranged from 10–100 μg/mL for most of the strains, whilst some strains were inhibited at even lower concentrations. The mode of action of flupenthixol was found to be bacteriostatic against Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio cholerae [1].
In vivo: In the in vivo experiments, flupenthixol was able to contribute significant protection to a Swiss strain of white mice challenged with 50 median lethal dose of a mouse-virulent strain at a drug concentration of 15 μg/mouse. Moreover, flupenthixol reduced remarkably the number of viable bacteria in organs and blood of mice treated with flupenthixol [1].
Clinical trial: An clinical trial was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness and side-effects of flupenthixol treatment. The results showed that symptoms of depression, worrying, withdrawal, as well as psychomotor retardation were improved significantly with flupenthixol. Thus, it was concluded that schizophrenic patients characterized by depressive symptoms might more benefit to the flupenthixol treatment [2].

Flupenthixol dihydrochloride decomposition in aqueous solution.[Pubmed:423084]
J Pharm Sci. 1979 Feb;68(2):169-71.
Flupenthixol dihydrochloride in aqueous solution oxidized to trifluoromethylthioxanthone, ethanol, and piperazine via aldehydic and epoxidic intermediates in the presence of air. The formation rate of trifluoromethylthioxanthone increased with increases in pH and oxygen concentration. Buffer ions also affected the decomposition rate. Micelle formation by the drug markedly influenced its oxidation rate.
Depression in general practice: a comparison of flupenthixol dihydrochloride and dothiepin hydrochloride.[Pubmed:2272193]
Curr Med Res Opin. 1990;12(3):191-7.
A single-blind, parallel group, general practice study was carried out in 153 patients with mild to moderate depression to compare the efficacy and tolerability of Flupenthixol dihydrochloride and dothiepin hydrochloride. Patients were allocated at random to receive single daily doses of either 1 mg flupenthixol in the morning or 75 mg dothiepin in the evening, and this dose could be doubled at the end of 2 weeks in the event of inadequate response. Assessments were made on entry and after 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks of treatment using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, a 4-point severity scale and an unwanted symptoms checklist. The results showed that both treatments significantly improved the patients' condition over 6 weeks, and there was a significant difference in favour of flupenthixol at end-point. Both drugs were well tolerated, although persistence of anticholinergic side-effects in the dothiepin group resulted in a trend favouring flupenthixol. One patient in the flupenthixol group attempted suicide by overdose but made a complete recovery.
