Abstract: Objective To analyze and screen out differential metabolites related to lethal acute poisoning with chlorpromazine hydrochloride by non-targeted metabolomics. 
Methods Twenty-four ICR mice were randomly selected and divided into saline control group(n=12) and chlorpromazine hydrochloride test group(n=12). Plasma samples of the two groups were detected by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-HRMS). The differential metabolites related to lethal acute poisoning with chlorpromazine hydrochloride between two groups were screened by orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA), t-test and fold change statistical methods and compared with the database, thereby identifying statistically significant differential metabolites. 
Results The results of OPLS-DA analysis of plasma samples showed significant differences between the two groups. A total of 29 differential metabolites containing 11 categories such as fatty acyl groups and carboxylic acids and their derivatives were identified. 
Conclusion The metabolomics technology based on UPLC-HRMS can screen differential metabolites related to lethal acute poisoning with chlorpromazine hydrochloride, which may provide a reference for future forensic determination of the cause of death from chlorpromazine hydrochloride poisoning.
