A rapid method for the determination of olanzapine in plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography with ultra violet detection is described. Olanzapine was extracted from plasma with a mixture of hexane/dichloromethane (85:15), and then back extracted into phosphate buffer pH 2.8. Separation was achieved on a RP Select B C(18) column and commonly administered drugs did not interfere with the assay. The limit of quantitation was 1.5 microg/l and the inter-day and intra-day relative standard deviations were less than 10%. Olanzapine was shown to be stable in plasma for up to 7 days when stored at 4 degrees C. Moreover, the addition of ascorbic acid was not necessary for the achievement of chemical stability during storage, or during the assay procedure. The method has been used to measure olanzapine concentrations in patients treated with various doses of the drug varying from 5 to 40 mg/day.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010890 Pirenzepine An antimuscarinic agent that inhibits gastric secretion at lower doses than are required to affect gastrointestinal motility, salivary, central nervous system, cardiovascular, ocular, and urinary function. It promotes the healing of duodenal ulcers and due to its cytoprotective action is beneficial in the prevention of duodenal ulcer recurrence. It also potentiates the effect of other antiulcer agents such as CIMETIDINE and RANITIDINE. It is generally well tolerated by patients.

D000077152 Olanzapine A benzodiazepine derivative that binds SEROTONIN RECEPTORS; MUSCARINIC RECEPTORS; HISTAMINE H1 RECEPTORS; ADRENERGIC ALPHA-1 RECEPTORS; and DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. It is an antipsychotic agent used in the treatment of SCHIZOPHRENIA; BIPOLAR DISORDER; and MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER; it may also reduce nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy. 2-Methyl-4-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-10H-thieno(2,3-b)(1,5)benzodiazepine,LY 170053,LY-170052,Olanzapine Pamoate,Zolafren,Zyprexa,LY 170052,LY170052

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity

D014150 Antipsychotic Agents Agents that control agitated psychotic behavior, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect. They are used in SCHIZOPHRENIA; senile dementia; transient psychosis following surgery; or MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; etc. These drugs are often referred to as neuroleptics alluding to the tendency to produce neurological side effects, but not all antipsychotics are likely to produce such effects. Many of these drugs may also be effective against nausea, emesis, and pruritus.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
