Contribution of trifluoperazine metabolites to the in vivo (19)F NMR spectrum of rat brain.
Fluorine-19 NMR spectra were acquired from extracts of tissues from heads of rats given the antipsychotic drug trifluoperazine (TFP). Contributions to the in vivo (19)F spectra from tissues other than brain were negligible. The in vivo (19)F resonance at -62.3 ppm from CCl(3)F consisted of 6-8 resolved resonances in vitro. Some in vitro resonances were assigned to previously identified TFP metabolites. Multiple resonances in vitro partially explain the relatively large line width seen in vivo for TFP. Unidentified metabolites were observed at about -74 to -75 ppm in a number of spectra of extracts of brain and muscle.
