Paper Details 
Original Abstract of the Article :
We have studied the interaction of trifluoperazine (TFP) with monolayers of various glycerophospholipids at 37 degrees C. TFP (1-10 microM) had little effect on surface pressure/molecular area isotherms in monolayers (on pure water) of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dipalmitoylphosphatidy...See full text at original site
