Chlorpromazine, administered to pregnant CBA mice 56 h after copulation in single doses of 10 or 15 mg/kg bodyweight, inhibited the compaction of embryos, formation of blastocysts, and reduced the mitotic index and cell number of embryos 86 h after copulation but did not adversely influence their viability or induce structural chromosomal aberrations. Blastocyst formation was more severely affected than embryo compaction. When 86-h embryos were treated with chlorpromazine (10 or 15 mg/kg) and subsequently cultured for 120 h, there was delayed hatching from the zona pellucida, delayed attachment to the culture dish, outgrowth of the trophoblast and expansion of the inner cell mass. Mice treated identically and evaluated on the 18th day of gestation had fewer implanted embryos than did controls, and the fetuses weighed less. No resorptions, malformations or significant differences in intrauterine deaths were found. Chlorpromazine given in the same manner but at 0.5 mg/kg did not affect any of the aforementioned criteria. When 56 h embryos were cultured in vitro in the presence of 50 microM-chlorpromazine for a further 40 h, embryo compaction, blastocyst formation, the mitotic index and the total cell number were significantly reduced compared with controls. Blastocyst formation was again more severely affected than embryo compaction. The inhibition of embryo compaction, blastocyst formation, and reduction in mitotic index and cell number associated in this study with chlorpromazine in vivo and in vitro indicate that the drug inhibits the development of cleavage-stage embryos in the mouse. These effects might be mediated by antagonistic effects of calmodulin.
