title: High-performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of imipramine metabolism in vitro by liver and brain microsomes.
abstract: A new sensitive method for resolution and quantitation metabolites of in vitro imipramine metabolism has been developed for use in liver and brain microsomes. Separation of metabolites was done using a Supelcosil PCN column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-methanol-potassium phosphate dibasic (40:35:25, v/v/v), pH 7. Resolution is achieved for 2- and 10-hydroxyimipramine, and desipramine. Varying levels of these metabolites formed during in vitro incubations of rat liver and brain microsomes following treatments.
