Placental transfer of chlorthalidone and its elimination in maternal milk. 1978

B A Mulley, and G D Parr, and W K Pau, and R M Rye, and J J Mould, and N C Siddle

A gas chromatographic method has been used to determine chlorthalidone in amniotic fluid, maternal and foetal blood at delivery, and in maternal milk and blood three days after delivery, following the administration of chlorthalidone to nine pregnant women suffering from toxaemia of pregnancy. Placental transfer of chlorthalidone and elimination in maternal milk have been shown and the implications of these factors are discussed. An explanation has been proposed for our observations that foetal blood levels of the drug are about 15% of those in maternal blood.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.

D000653 Amniotic Fluid A clear, yellowish liquid that envelopes the FETUS inside the sac of AMNION. In the first trimester, it is likely a transudate of maternal or fetal plasma. In the second trimester, amniotic fluid derives primarily from fetal lung and kidney. Cells or substances in this fluid can be removed for prenatal diagnostic tests (AMNIOCENTESIS).
