A method is presented for the determination of clomipramine and its major metabolite desmethylclomipramine in plasma. After extraction with n-hexane, the components are separated by high performance liquid-solid chromatography on silica gel and detected with a UV detector. The detection limits are 2 ng/ml for clomipramine and 10 ng/ml for desmethylclomipramine. Recoveries from plasma exceed 95% for both drugs. In routine analysis, 30-40 samples can be handled in one day. The practical use of the method is shown in plasma concentration-time curves after oral and intramuscular administration of clomipramine.

D002997 Clomipramine A tricyclic antidepressant similar to IMIPRAMINE that selectively inhibits the uptake of serotonin in the brain. It is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and demethylated in the liver to form its primary active metabolite, desmethylclomipramine.
