Abstract
Summary
1. Chlorpromazine, in concentrations of 2 × 10-5 M, inhibits formation of lipide peroxides in liver and brain homogenates. 2. When allowed to remain in light, chlorpromazine solutions become brown in color, and the activity is increased 5-fold. 3. Chlorpromazine sulfoxide is less effective than chlorpromazine, but is similarly activated on standing. 4. Methylene blue is a powerful antioxidant, comparable to the activated form of chlorpromazine.
