    Notes: Abstract: 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid (HMMA; VMA) labeled with three deuterium atoms was used to study the turnover and fate of HMMA following intravenous injection. Five healthy men were given a pulse dose of 5.0 μmol of labeled HMMA. Plasma and urinary levels of both endogenous and labeled HMMA were subsequently followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using selected ion detection. The kinetic parameters were determined both with and without compensation for the pool expansion caused by the injection of labeled HMMA. The urinary recovery of labeled HMMA was 85 × 10% (mean ± SD). No conversion of HMMA t o 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl glycol (HMPG) occurred. The biological half-life of HMMA was 0.54 ± 0.22 h. The apparent volume of distribution was 0.36 ± 0.11 L/kg. The production rate or body turnover was 1.27 ± 0.51 μmol HMM/h and urinary excretion rate was 0.82 ± 0.22 μmol/h. These results show that HMMA is turning over rapidly in a relatively small volume of distribution and that, unlike HMPG, it is an end metabolite of norepinephrine in man.

    Notes: Abstract: Endogenous levels of salsolinol and its methylated metabolite were measured by combined gas chromatography and mass spectrometry in rats chronically exposed to ethanol for 150 days. The chronic ethanol administration produced a significant increase of salsolinol concentrations in dopamine-rich brain areas, e.g., the striatum and the limbic forebrain. A negative correlation was observed between plasma ethanol concentration and the level of salsolinol in the brain. A possible role for salsolinol in the regulation of ethanol drinking and/or in the development of ethanol dependence is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract: 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylglycol (HMPG) labelled with three deuterium atoms was used to study the disposition of peripherally administered HMPG. Five healthy men were given an intravenous pulse dose of 4.3 μmol of labelled HMPG and subsequent plasma and urine levels of endogenous and labelled HMPG as well as those of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid (HMMA, VMA) were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, using selected ion detection. Approximately 40% of the injected amount of deuterium-labelled HMPG was recovered in the urine as HMMA and another 40% was eliminated as HMPG conjugates. Thus, the HMPG formed from norepinephrine either in the central or peripheral nervous system undergoes both conjugation and extensive oxidation.

    Notes: [Auszug] Nineteen C apella monkeys (10 male, 9 female) weighing 1.6-4.2 kg (mean 2.9 kg) were used in the present experiments. Twelve monkeys received chronic neuroleptic treatment: haloperidol (nine animals) or fluphenazine (three) for 3-6 yr, while seven were untreated controls. Intramuscular (i.m.) ...
