Incompatibility between propericiazine oral solution and tea-based drink.

Here, we studied the incompatibility between an oral solution of propericiazine (PCZ), an antipsychotic drug, and various commercially available bottled tea-based drinks. When 0.5 mL of the PCZ oral solution (10 mg/mL) was mixed with 16.

[Mechanism of interaction between risperidone and tea catechin (2) influence of presence of galloyl group in catechin on insoluble complex formation with risperidone].

The influence of the presence of a galloyl group in catechin on complexation with risperidone (RISP) was examined using (--)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) and (--)-epigallocatechin (EGC), which are present in green tea as tea catechins. By quantitative analysis using HPLC, it was found that EGCg formed an insoluble complex with RISP for concentration dependence, whereas EGC did not. The large contribution of the galloyl group of catechin to form an insoluble complex with RISP was recognized in this study.
