The spin label technique reveals that phenothiazine and para-fluorobutyrophenone derivatives, such as haloperidol, modify the membrane proteic structure. Both types of drugs give qualitatively similar responses. Phenothiazine derivatives interact with all types of studied membrane material, but only the synaptic fraction is sensitive to the action of para-fluorobutyrophenone compounds. Some correlations can be made between the intensity of the spin label spectroscopic response and the pharmacological activity of the drugs.
