Abstract
1.
1. The tranquilizing drug chlorpromazine was enxymically oxidized to the freeradical intermadiate which was identical with the red intermediate observed optically at 530 mμ.
2.
2. The stiochiometry for the peroxidaseH2O2 reaction was detemrined to be
3.
3. The dismutation reaction rate constant, kd, at pH 4.8 was measured to be 15.0 M−1·sec−. This extreme stability of the free radical allowed further oxidation of the free radical by the enzyme in the substrate-limited case; the rate constant for this reaction was found to be 3.9·10−1, approx. 10 times slower than k4, the first oxidation.
4.
4. It is suggested that the stability of the free radical may be responsible for the psychotropic activity of the drug.
