A case of fatal poisoning involving clomipramine, chlorpromazine and flunitrazepam is presented. Quantitative toxicological analysis showed that the concentrations of clomipramine, chlorpromazine and 7-aminoflunitrazepam (a metabolite of flunitrazepam) in the femoral blood were 3.24 microg/ml, 0.36 Kg/ml and 0.61 microg/ml, respectively, and large amounts of drugs were also detected from the stomach contents. We concluded that the cause of death was due to the combined use of clomipramine, chlorpromazine and flunitrazepam.

In this work, the concept of magnetic particle spray mass spectrometry (MPS-MS) is reported for the first time. Magnetic sorbent particles are used to extract the analytes from a liquid sample. The particles are magnetically attracted to the tip of a magnetic probe that is positioned at the entrance of the mass spectrometer.

Objective: We searched for, from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration-USA)-approved drugs, inhibitors of FKBP5 with tolerable adverse effect profiles (eg, mild headache, sedation, etc.) and with the ability to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB), using bio-informatics tools (in-silico). This may pave the road for designing clinical trials of such drugs in patients with functional seizures (FS) and other stress-associated disorders.

Aims: To provide a cross-country analysis of selection, availability, prices and affordability of essential medicines for mental health conditions, aiming to identify areas for improvement.
Methods: We used the World Health Organization (WHO) online repository of national essential medicines lists (EMLs) to extract information on the inclusion of essential psychotropic medicines within each country's EML. Data on psychotropic medicine availability, price and affordability were obtained from the Health Action International global database.
Different substrate elimination rates of model drugs pH-dependently mediated by flavin-containing monooxygenases and cytochromes P450 in human liver microsomes.

Article Synopsis
- This study estimates the role of flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) in drug N-oxygenation by comparing metabolic clearance values of model drugs at different pH levels.
- It was found that metabolic clearance for certain drugs at pH 8.4 was significantly higher than at pH 7.4, while midazolam showed the opposite trend.
- The findings indicate that comparing clearance values across pH levels can help predict FMO3's impact on N-oxygenations in new drug development, particularly for drugs with pKa values over 8.4.
Environmental risk assessments of multiclass pharmaceutical active compounds: selection of high priority concern pharmaceuticals using entropy-utility functions.

This research aimed to identify high-risk pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) by analyzing occurrence (O), persistence (P), bioaccumulation (B), and toxicity (T) of 62 drugs which are widely used in Iran. A comprehensive approach was taken in risk assessment of the selected PhACs and in their prioritization using multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) such as utility functions and principal component analysis (PCA). In practice, assigning weight to each criterion (i.
