A gas chromatographic--electron-impact ionization mass spectrometric method has been developed for the determination of amitriptyline (AMT) and its metabolites, nortriptyline (NT), 10-hydroxyamitriptyline (10-OH-AMT) and 10-hydroxynortriptyline (10-OH-NT) in human serum. The lower limit of detection was 2 ng/ml for all compounds
Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 9(6), 565-568 (1981-11-01)
The rates of demethylation and hydroxylation of amitriptyline, nortriptyline, and 10-hydroxyamitriptyline by microsomes from adult human livers were determined by use of mass-fragmentographic or liquid-chromatographic quantitation of the formed metabolites. The demethylation rates of amitriptyline and 10-hydroxyamitriptyline were higher than

As part of a double-blind clinical trial comparing phenelzine and amitriptyline in outpatients with predominantly major depressive disorder, plasma tricyclic antidepressant drug concentrations were measured in 83 amitriptyline-treated patients. In 29 of these patients, hydroxymetabolites were also assayed. Patients were

Kinetics of amitriptyline (AMI), its demethylated metabolites nortriptyline (NOR) and demethylnortriptyline (DM-NOR), and its hydroxylated metabolites, the E and Z isomers or 10-hydroxy-amitriptyline (E- and Z-10-OH-AMI) and of 10-hydroxynortriptyline (E- and Z-10-OH-NOR) were studied in plasma and brain from Swiss
