A mass fragmentographic method for the determination of chlorpromazine and two of its active metabolites in human plasma and CSF. 1976

G Alfredsson, and B Wode-Helgodt, and G Sedvall

A mass fragmentographic method for the quantitation of chlorpromazine (CPZ), mono-demethyl-chlorpromazine (nor1-CPZ), and 7-hydroxy-chlorpromazine (7-OH-CPZ) in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissues has been developed. The deuterated analogues of the compounds are used as internal standards. The high specificity was ascertained by multiple ion determination. The experimental error is below 10%. The sensitivity allows determination of sub ng quantities of CPZ per ml cerebrospinal fluid. The method has been applied to the analysis of drug concentrations in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of chlorpromazine-treated patients. The amount of CPZ in CSF was about 3% of the plasma level. The CPZ levels in plasma and CSF were significantly correlated.

D002746 Chlorpromazine The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup. Aminazine,Chlorazine,Chlordelazine,Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride,Contomin,Fenactil,Largactil,Propaphenin,Thorazine,Hydrochloride, Chlorpromazine
