The effect of some psychotropic drugs on the activity of macrophages to produce superoxide radicals during phagocytosis was tested. Three-cyclic antidepressants, imipramine and amitriptyline, and the thioxanthene neuroleptic, chlorprothixene, were studied. The superoxide production was measured by luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. The
