  • Title: Drug-induced phospholipidosis. II. Alterations in the phospholipid pattern of organs from mice, rats and guinea-pigs after chronic treatment with chlorphentermine.
    Author: Seiler KU, Wassermann O.
    Journal: Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol; 1975; 288(2-3):261-8. PubMed ID: 1161047.
    Abstract:
    In three species chronic treatment with the anorectic drug chlorphentermine causes a profound alteration of the phospholipid/lipid metabolism in the organism, resulting in an increase of the fractions of phospholipids and lipids, e.g. in lungs, livers and adrenals. The results are interpreted as drug-induced generalized phospholipidosis, which is caused by amphiphilic drugs, like chlorphentermine and others. Its extent depends on several factors, like content, pattern and turnover rate of phospholipids in different organs, and on the species.
