BACKGROUND: Therapeutic drug monitoring has become increasingly important in psychiatric therapy. However, it is not yet implemented as a daily routine in clinical settings. To evaluate new, noninvasive procedures, we compared blood and saliva venlafaxine, quetiapine, and citalopram concentrations in samples collected from psychiatric patients. METHODS: We collected blood and saliva samples from 75 psychiatric patients (39 venlafaxine, 19 quetiapine, and 17 citalopram). Saliva sampling was achieved by the use of cotton pads. Venlafaxine (and its metabolite O-desmethylvenlafaxine) and quetiapine were analyzed by LC-MS/MS, whereas citalopram was analyzed by HPLC. RESULTS: We observed significant correlations between concentrations of venlafaxine (ratio saliva/serum ± SD: 18.3 ± 9.5, P < 0.01, r = 0.895) and its metabolite O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ratio saliva/serum ± SD: 4.1 ± 3.2, P < 0.05, r = 0.344), quetiapine (ratio saliva/serum ± SD: 0.2 ± 0.2, P < 0.01, r = 0.935), and citalopram (ratio saliva/serum ± SD: 2.6 ± 1.2, P < 0.05, r = 0.54) in serum and in saliva. Furthermore, measured concentrations of venlafaxine (and its metabolite O-desmethylvenlafaxine) and citalopram were higher in saliva than in serum, whereas measured concentrations of quetiapine were higher in serum than in saliva. CONCLUSIONS: Using cotton pad saliva sampling, venlafaxine and quetiapine demonstrate high correlations between saliva and serum concentrations, whereas for O-desmethylvenlafaxine and citalopram, other methods of sampling might be preferable. Saliva therapeutic drug monitoring of psychoactive drugs might become a useful approach to achieving individual treatment regimens.
