Determination of deslanoside in antemortem and postmortem specimens. Unusual case report.

One case of the erroneous administration of deslanoside and high level of drug in antemortem plasma and postmortem specimens has been reported owing to the unusual surrounding circumstances. Deslanoside in antemortem plasma was determined by FPIA and the analysis was done by HPLC in the postmortem tissue samples. The analytical results and methods used in the examinations are discussed in the following paper.

Use of short, wide-bore capillary columns in GC toxicological screening.

The usefulness of wide-bore, thick film capillary columns for routine toxicological screening was assessed. Two such columns were examined: fused silica CPSil 5CB (i.d., 0.53 mm; length, 10 m; film thickness, 5.2 microns) and glass SPB-1 (i.d. 0.75 mm; length, 30 m; film thickness, 1.0 micron). A standard packed column filled with 3% OV-1 (i.d., 2 mm; length, 1.5 m) and a medium-bore fused silica column CPSil 5 (i.d., 0.32 mm; length, 25 m; film thickness, 0.4 micron) were examined for comparison. Mixtures of alkanes and drugs, as well as biological samples from routine casework, were analyzed. Both types of wide-bore columns proved to be very useful in routine toxicological practice, due to satisfactory efficiency, high capacity, and ease of installation. The retention index values of various drugs, examined on wide-bore columns, were in agreement with the reference database obtained from packed columns.

Impact of biological matrix and isolation methods on detectability and interlaboratory variations of TLC Rf-values in systematic toxicological analysis.

The retention behavior of eight basic and neutral drugs, extracted from plasma, blood, and liver by five different methods (XAD-2, Extrelut, Elut-X, Elut-C18, chloroform) and developed in three chromatographic systems [MeOH, Me OH:BuOH:NaBr, CHCl3:MeOH (KOH)] was observed in parallel in two laboratories. The corrected Rf-values were compared with reference data from a data base with data for pure drugs. The biological matrix and/or the extraction severely lowered the precision and, to a lesser extent, the accuracy of the Rf-values as compared to pure drug data and to reference Rf-values. The intra- and interlaboratory variation was smallest in the MeOH system and largest in the CHCl3:MeOH (KOH) system. The observed irreproducibility is caused by the biological matrix (extraction has a large negative impact on the potentials of TLC in identification procedures). Precision and accuracy of extracted drugs were independent of the biological matrix and on the extraction method used.
