    Notes: Summary A modification of the procedures for simultaneous radiometric determinations of plasma epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) was developed. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is excellently suited to separate the radioactive products of the enzymatic methylation of catecholamines. This time-saving procedure shows significant advantages as against the conventional method of isolating normetanephrine and metanephrine by thin layer chromatography. The high sensitivity (detection limit=1 pg), specifity, and good precision (cv=6%) of this assay are demonstrated.

    Notes: Abstract In order to compare the effects of chlorimipramine (CI) and desimipramine (DMI) on growth hormone (GH) and on prolactin (PRL) secretion equal doses of 25 mg CI or DMI were administered i.v. to 12 healthy subjects each. In this dose, DMI, which primarily inhibits norepinephrine (NE) uptake, induced a significantly higher GH stimulation, compared to CI, whereas CI, which primarily inhibits serotonin (5-HT) uptake induced a significantly higher PRL stimulation, compared to DMI. Following DMI administration, an increase in GH (〉7.5 ng/ml) was found in all subjects, after CI in only about 50% of the subjects. The varying interindividual GH secretions after CI are discussed on the basis of the different plasma levels of CI and of its metabolite desmethyl-chlorimipramine (DCI), which is a NE uptake-inhibitor.

    Notes: Abstract  Rationale: A serotonergic dysfunction is supposed to play a pathogenetic role in depression, but there is a considerable number of non-responders in the acute treatment of depression with serotonergic agents like SSRI. Thus, an indicator of central serotonergic activity could lead to a more specific pharmacological treatment of depression. In animal and human data there is a growing amount of evidence that a strong loudness dependency of late auditory evoked potentials (LDAEP) is an indicator of low serotonergic activity and vice versa. Objective: In 29 depressive inpatients (DSM-III-R diagnosis 296.x in 28 patients, 300.4 in one patient), the hypothesis was tested that a strong LDAEP prior to treatment can predict a better clinical outcome under SSRI treatment over 4 weeks. Results: Patients with a strong pre-treatment LDAEP had a significantly greater decrease of depressive symptoms (Hamilton Scale for Depression) after 4 weeks than patients with a flat LDAEP. Significantly more responders fell into the group with a high LDAEP. Contrary to what might be expected, a second recording in a subsample of 19 patients after 4 weeks of treatment failed to show changes in the LDAEP. Conclusion: Our finding confirms the hypothesis that a strong LDAEP, indicating a low serotonergic activity, is related to a favorable response to acute SSRI treatment in depression. The LDAEP is a promising tool for the prediction of response to serotonin agonists in depression and it seems to be of clinical importance.

    Notes: Abstract The metabolism of the tricyclic antidepressants amitriptyline (AMI), imipramine (IMI), chlorimipramine (CMI) and some of their metabolites was studied in vitro in isolated liver microsomes of female Spraque-Dawley rats. Nine metabolites of AMI, seven metabolites of IMI, and 11 metabolites of CMI were quantitatively determined with high-performance liquid chromatography. The main metabolic reactions, mediated by an NADPH generating system, were hydroxylation, demethylation, and N-oxidation. The ratio of these reactions was different for the three drugs. AMI was hydroxylated more than CMI and CMI more than IMI. The order for demethylation was CMI〉AMI=IMI, the order for N-oxidation IMI〉CMI≤AMI. The substrate dependence of metabolism was investigated. Demethylation and N-oxidation increased proportionally to increasing substrate concentrations, whereas formation of hydroxylated metabolites became saturated (in the concentration range of 10−6−10−5 M). The in vitro metabolism was compared with the in vivo metabolism in humans, reflected by the plasma concentrations of these drugs and their metabolites. A good agreement in metabolic pathways was found.
