General description

N-Desmethylclozapine is an active metabolite of Clozapine, an atypical antipsychotic drug used for treatment of schizophrenia. Clozapine is sold under the trade names Clozaril® and FrazaClo in the US. This Certified Snap-N-Spike® Solution is suitable for use in urine drug testing, clinical toxicology, forensic analysis, and clinical monitoring by LC-MS/MS or GC/MS.

Application



  • Pharmacokinetic analysis of clozapine and N-Desmethylclozapine: A study conducted by Mach et al. (2024) analyzed clinical and pharmacological factors that influence serum levels of clozapine and its metabolite N-Desmethylclozapine, offering insights into dosing strategies and metabolic pathways relevant to schizophrenia treatment (Mach et al., 2024).


  • Chromatographic profiling for clozapine and its metabolites: Hrichi et al. (2024) reviewed chromatographic methods for analyzing antipsychotic drugs, including clozapine and N-Desmethylclozapine, to improve the accuracy of pharmacokinetic studies and enhance drug monitoring capabilities (Hrichi et al., 2024).


  • Influence of lifestyle factors on clozapine metabolism: Research by Flanagan et al. (2024) explored the impact of coffee and chocolate ingestion on the plasma concentrations of clozapine and its metabolite N-Desmethylclozapine, providing data crucial for understanding how dietary habits affect antipsychotic drug levels (Flanagan et al., 2024).

We have previously reported that N-desmethylclozapine (NDMC), a major clozapine metabolite, acts as a δ-opioid receptor agonist. Here, we show that in different cellular systems NDMC regulates protein kinase B/Akt (Akt) signaling through the activation of δ-opioid receptors. In Chinese

Clozapine (CLZ) is an FDA approved second-generation antipsychotic for refractory schizophrenia, and glucuronidation is an important pathway in its metabolism. The aim of this study was to fully characterize the CLZ glucuronidation pathway and examine whether polymorphisms in active glucuronidating

We have previously reported that galantamine, a weak acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, improves prepulse inhibition (PPI) deficits in mice reared in social isolation. ACh receptors are involved in the underlying mechanism of PPI, but whether rearing in social isolation causes dysfunction of

Although clozapine is primarily used in a younger to mid-life population of patients with psychosis, there are limited data on the clinical pharmacology of clozapine later in life. The objective of this study was to assess the magnitude and variability

The basis of the unique clinical profile of the antipsychotic clozapine is not yet elucidated. Brain histamine receptors may play a role in schizophrenia and its treatment, but their involvement in the profile of clozapine remained unknown. We explored the
