A high-performance liquid chromatography method for the determination of dextromepromazine, levomepromazine sulfoxide and 2-methoxyphenothiazine in levomepromazine samples was developed. The separation of the analytes was achieved within 10 min on a stationary phase containing cellulose tris(4-methylbenzoate) as chiral selector. The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% diethylamine in methanol with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The method was validated according to the International Council for Harmonization guideline Q2(R1). The detection limits based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 were in the range of 0.002 to 0.005 μg/mL. The method proved to be precise and accurate in the concentration range of 0.025-1.0 % for levomepromazine sulfoxide and 2-methoxyphenothiazine and 0.025% to 3.0% for dextromepromazine relative to a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL of levomepromazine, with the exception of levomepromazine sulfoxide at the 0.1% level. The method was subsequently applied to the analysis of finished pharmaceutical products as well as of reference substances of the European Pharmacopoeia.

The separation of the enantiomers of mepromazine, promethazine, thioridazine and alimemazine was studied by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis in the presence of cyclodextrins using 1 M acetic acid and 50 mM ammonium acetate in methanol as background electrolyte. Heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)-β-cyclodextrin, heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-sulfo)-β-cyclodextrin (HDMS-β-CD) and octakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-sulfo)-γ-cyclodextrin were the most effective chiral selectors for mepromazine, promethazine and alimemazine. Subsequently, a method for the determination of dextromepromazine as chiral impurity of levomepromazine was developed employing quality by design principles.

Using a quality by design approach, a capillary electrophoresis method for the simultaneous determination of dextromepromazine and the oxidation product levomepromazine sulfoxide in levomepromazine was developed. The analytical target profile was defined that the method should be able to quantify 0.1% of both impurities with a precision of ≤10%.

Forensic toxicological drug analyses of human specimens are usually performed immediately after autopsy or on frozen preserved tissues. Occasionally, cases require analysis of drugs from tissues fixed in formalin solution. To improve the estimation of the level of drug in tissues following formalin fixation, we studied drug concentrations in human tissues, liver and kidney, that were collected from a drug-positive autopsy case.

Background: Joint administration of phenothiazine neuroleptics and an antidepressant or carbamazepine is applied in the therapy of many complex psychiatric disorders. The aim of the present study was to investigate possible effects of the tricyclic antidepressant drug amitriptyline and the anticonvulsant drug carbamazepine on the metabolism of the aliphatic-type phenothiazine neuroleptic levomepromazine in human liver.
Methods: The experiment was performed in vitro using human liver microsomes.
