Fluspirilene, at concentrations which non-competitively modify dihydropyridine binding, selectively antagonizes the effects of calcium-channel activators. Fluspirilene decreases the viability and suppresses sphere-forming of glioma stem cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. Fluspirilene demonstrates the inhibition of proliferation of T98, U87 and all GSC lines at 1.25, 2.5, and 5 μM, while it inhibits the proliferation of U251 and SNB19 at 2.5 and 5 μM.

Mice treated with fluspirilene shows a remarkable reduction of the tumor size. Fluspirilene significantly prolongs survival of the TGS04 mouse model.
