Quantitative liquid chromatography, thermospray/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/TSP/MS/MS) analysis of some thermolabile benzodiazepines in whole-blood.

An LC/TSP/MS/MS selected reaction monitoring (SRM) method in the daughter ion scan mode can be applied successfully for the quantitative determination of thermolabile benzodiazepines in whole-blood following an Extrelut extraction method. Detection limits as low as 100 pg per injection can be reached for all benzodiazepines. The benzodiazepines under investigation proved to be stable, with the exception of ketazolam for which complete degradation to diazepam was observed.

Weakly basic impurities in illicit amphetamine.

In this paper the isolation and identification of two pyrimidines, five pyridines, and one pyridone as impurities in illicit amphetamines prepared by the Leuckart synthesis are reported. Isolation was achieved by repeated thin-layer chromatography with various solvent mixtures, while identification was done by both high and low resolution mass spectrometry and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Some chromatographic data are reported and a quantitative analysis of a reaction mixture and an illicit amphetamine is given.
