Isomers of 10-hydroxynortriptyline in geriatric depression.
Academic Article
Overview
abstract
In geriatric, depressed inpatients treated with nortriptyline (NT), total unconjugated plasma concentrations of the Z isomer of the 10-hydroxylated metabolite (10-OH-NT) were determined simultaneously with concentrations of the E isomer by high-performance liquid chromatography. Z-10-OH-NT concentrations averaged 14% of E-10-OH-NT concentrations.
