Abstract

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in dog plasma is significantly higher than in either ventricular or cisternal CSF. However, since protein levels in plasma are about 100‐fold higher than in CSF, the specific activity of AChE is lower in plasma than in CSF. Acetylcholinesterase activity in plasma represents only 22% of total cholinesterase (ChE) activity, while preliminary findings indicate that in ventricular CSF it is 50–60%. Acetylcholinesterase activity in ventricular CSF is significantly lower than in cisternal CSF. Chlorpromazine (10 mg/kg, intravenous), a drug which increases acetylcholine turnover, increased AChE‐specific activity in all dogs. Our results support the hypothesis of a neuronal origin of AChE activity in CSF.

A mass fragmentographic method for the quantitation of chlorpromazine (CPZ), mono-demethyl-chlorpromazine (nor1-CPZ), and 7-hydroxy-chlorpromazine (7-OH-CPZ) in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissues has been developed. The deuterated analogues of the compounds are used as internal standards. The
