The Antibacterial Effect of Selected Neuroleptics on Vibrio Cholerae

Abstract
The present investigation was undertaken to illustrate the antibacterial effect of chloropromazine, clopenthixol and levomepromazine-maleate. Clopenthixol had the strongest antibacterial effect. It is known that chlorpromazine also has an antisecretory activity. The fact that clopenthixol exists in cis(Z)- and trans(E)-isomerical compounds, and that these compounds both have an antibacterial effect, but only the cis-compound has an antisecretory and neuroleptic effect, might suggest the development of more specific pharmaceuticals in these new fields.
