چکیده

Fluphenazine, a potent antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia in humans, is used in racehorses as a performance-enhancing drug, and for that reason it has been banned by the Association of Racing Commissioners International. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for detecting and quantitating fluphenazine in equine serum was developed and validated. The method was then employed to quantitate fluphenazine in serum samples collected from three study horses after intramuscular injection of fluphenazine decanoate. Stability testing showed that fluphenazine is stable in unextracted and processed samples as well as samples that have been subjected to up to three freeze-thaw cycles. The limit of detection and lower limit of quantitation of fluphenazine were determined to be 0.05 and 0.1 ng/mL, respectively. Precision was evaluated based on one-way analysis of variance of replicate quality control samples and was determined to be 27.2% at the 0.2 ng/mL level and 18.1% at the 2 ng/mL level. Bias was determined to be 0.55% at the 0.2 ng/mL level and 3.66% at the 2 ng/mL level. In two of three horses, fluphenazine was detected in serum up to 14 days post-administration. The highest detected concentration of fluphenazine in serum was 1.4 ng/mL.

Sensitive method for the simultaneous measurement of fluphenazine decanoate and fluphenazine in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography with coulometric detection.

A highly sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatographic method with coulometric detection was developed for the simultaneous assay of fluphenazine decanoate and fluphenazine in plasma. The extraction and sample clean-up procedures are simple, rapid to execute, yet yield chromatograms relatively free of any interference from endogenous plasma constituents, such that the extraordi...

Prolactin levels and amphetamine-induced behavioural changes following fluphenazine decanoate administration.

A single injection of fluphenazine decanoate (FD) antagonized effects of acute d-amphetamine (2.5 mg/kg) for a variable period of time (4 to 28 days), depending upon the dosage of the neurolcptic used (2.5 or 5.0 mg/kg) and the behavioural parameter(s) monitored. Locomotion and rearing were antagonized for a longer duration than was sniffing. Normal locomotor response to amphetamine was attaine...

Fluphenazine decanoate. Its steady-state pharmacologic profile and relationship to tardive dyskinesia.

A sensitive radioimmunoassay was developed to determine the steady-state, fixed-dose pharmacokinetic profile of fluphenazine decanoate in nine outpatients. To see if neuroleptic blood levels measured by this assay correlated with a clinical event, we performed a cross-sectional study of fluphenazine blood levels in 11 patients with and 17 patients without tardive dyskinesia. The results do not ...

Comparative Efficacy of Every 2 Weeks versus Every 6 Weeks Injections of Fluphenazine Decanoate

Background: Maintenance treatment of schizophrenia reduces relapse rates of this disease. This treatment is carried out for long periods of time and occasionally for lifelong. Dose reduction strategies are designed to maintain the benefits of antipsychotic drug therapy, while reducing the side effects. The authors tested a new dose reduction approach by increasing the interval between administr...

Fluphenazine decanoate dose and severity of depression in patients with post-psychotic depression.

The authors examined the fluphenazine decanoate dose and the fluphenazine plasma levels in comparison with measures of severity of depression in schizophrenic and schizoaffective patients. All patients were selected for study on the basis of having stable, syndromally defined, antiparkinsonian non-responsive syndromes of post-psychotic depression. No meaningful relationships were found. The imp...
