ABSTRACT IN previous studies1 we demonstrated that the intact rat was capable of demethylating chlorpromazine-(N-methyl)-14C when production of carbon dioxide was used as an index of


demethylation. The liver seemed to be the likely tissue responsible for these findings, since Mueller and Miller2 had found that homogenates of rat liver were capable of demethylation. La Du


_et al._ 3 later developed a simpler system for demethylation using homogenates of rabbit, rat and guinea pig livers. However, using the system of La Du _et al._, Salzman and Brodie4


reported that no demethylation of chlorpromazine occurred with rabbit liver. Since we had observed the _in vivo_ demethylation of chlorpromazine, we decided to study its _in vitro_


demethylation by fortified homogenates of rabbit and rat liver prepared according to these procedures2,3. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription
