The association process of chlorpromazine with bovine serum albumin by both onefactoral passive and multifactoral active experiments were investigated in model systems. The dependence of absolute concentration of the free fraction of chlorpromazine on the total concentration of chlorpromazine is described by the increasing function, but the dependence of the relative concentration (free/total) on this factor is influenced by external characteristics. The concentrations of chlorpromazine, bovine serum albumin and Tritons' mixture, as principal factors of a multifactoral experiment, influence the absolute and relative values of the free fraction of chlorpromazine non-additively, ie the interaction of factors is significant.

The interaction of carbamazepine and chlorpromazine in rabbits has been studied. The drugs were administrated as single oral doses (200 mg of each drug). The sequence of administration of the drugs was varied. It has been established that by simultaneous administration these drugs decrease absorption of each other in plasma. This may be explained by competition of the drugs to transfer from the gastrointestinal tract into plasma, as well as by the formation of complexes, more or less stable and more or less bound to gastrointestinal tissues. Carbamazepine intensifies the biotransformation of chlorpromazine, which may be caused by the ability of carbamazepine to induce microsomal liver enzymes. Chlorpromazine suppresses the biotransformation of carbamazepine, however. This may be caused by intensive capture of chlorpromazine by liver tissues and by its intensive biotransformation, which in turn is conditioned by its surface-active nature and by the increase of its metabolism with carbamazepine. Therefore the biotransformation of chlorpromazine is increased and metabolism of carbamazepine is reduced. The sequence of administration of the drugs affects their pharmacokinetics significantly.

The interaction of carbamazepine and phenobarbital in rabbits was investigated. The drugs were administered to the rabbit orally as a single dose. By simultaneous administration the sequence of drugs was varied, with an interval between doses of 15 min. The doses of carbamazepine and phenobarbital were 100 and 25 mg, respectively. It was established that phenobarbital appears to be an inductor for carbamazepine independently sequence of administration of the drugs. Carbamazepine reveals inductive properties for phenobarbital in the case where phenobarbital enteres in the organism first. It was ascertained also that, by simultaneous administration, these drugs reduce absorption of each other in plasma.
