Abstract
The reported ability of amitriptyline to enhance the penetration of diffusion limited substances across the blood brain barrier was investigated. The CSF:plasma ratio of methotrexate in primates was not significantly altered by amitriptyline pretreatment. Nor was methotrexate plasma clearance altered.
