The letter by Markowitz and colleagues published in this issue of the Journal [1] provides interesting insights into the development of standard practices or" standards of care" in psychiatric medicine when scientific observations are transferred to clinical practice. It was in approximately 1966 that Dr. Bernard B. Brodie, pioneer in drug metabolism research and Lasker Award winner in 1967, Director of the Laboratory of Chemical Pharmacology at the then National Heart Institute, stimulated research into plasma concentrations of tranquilizers and antidepressants.[2, 3] Brodie had noticed the intense research interest in discovery of more and more metabolites of drugs such as chlorpromazine, with no apparent interest in concentrations in blood or blood fractions, or in pharmacokinetics, and the existence of the clinical practice of testing urine for compliance without checking for chlorpromazine in the blood. Brodie considered that emphasis should switch to plasma concentrations of the active species of all drugs, which usually meant the unmetabolized parent drug, and that psychiatric patients in particular might be better controlled if their plasma concentrations were adjusted, by means of dosage changes, to as-yet undetermined therapeutic ranges. In the case of chlorpromazine, gas chromatography with electron capture detection provided the analytical method,[4] and I was privileged as a visiting fellow to be involved in the early exploratory work in what was then a brand new field of research. Quite quickly, in collaboration with John Marshall, John Davis, and David Janowsky, wide variations between and within patients in plasma concentrations of chlorpromazine became evident, and the notion of a therapeutic range in the middle of an inverted U-shaped relationship between concentration and effect was born.[5-7]There have now been many studies of the relationship between effect and plasma concentrations of antipsychotic drugs. According to Shriqui,[8] more than 100 clinical studies have attempted to determine the degree of correlation between dosage, neuroleptic" blood"(my quotation marks) levels, and clinical response, in the search for a basis for a practice of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in schizophrenia. As evidence, Shriqui tabulated 27 fixed-dose studies conducted from 1972 to 1993 in an attempt to define the therapeutic ranges for just three compounds.
