Abstract

A fatality involving cyamemazine, a phenothiazine derivative, is presented. Cyamemazine was formally identified in postmortem blood using an HPLC-DAD screening procedure, and then quantified in some postmortem samples by means of a specific HPLC method. The blood concentration of cyamemazine was 9.8 micrograms/mL. Tissue distribution of cyamemazine is discussed in light of the existing literature.
