title: Reliable routine method for determination of perazine in serum by thin-layer chromatography with an internal standard.
abstract: The use of a high-performance thin-layer chromatography linear chamber and of thioridazine as internal standard increases the performance of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) with direct densitometric scanning, and allows the rapid determination of serum levels of the neuroleptic drug perazine under usual therapeutic conditions. TLC is superior to gas-liquid chromatography in so far as the main metabolite desmethylperazine can be easily separated and detected by the same procedure.
