The human adaptor protein complex 2 (AP2) is involved in clathrin-dependent endocytosis in which cargo proteins are incorporated into vesicles surrounded by clathrin (clathrin-coated vesicles, CCVs) which are destined for fusion with the early endosome. Chlorpromazine was the first antipsychotic drug developed for the treatment of schizophrenia. Chlorpromazine is a cationic amphiphilic drug that disrupts clathrin-mediated endocytosis by inhibiting the relocation of clathrin and AP2 from the cell surface (Inoue et al. 2007, Yao et al. 2002). Chlorpromazine may also inhibit the replication of MERS and SARS viruses.
