چکیده
We used the method described here to detect and identify seven benzodiazepine derivatives--diazepam, chlorodiazepoxide, nitrazepam, cloxazolam, oxazolam, oxazepam, and medazepam--and their metabolites in the urine of rabbits given the seven drugs orally. We column-chromatographed 25-ml samples of urine on Amberlite XAD-2. The drugs and their metabolites in the urine were adsorbed by the resin, irrespective of urinary pH, and upon successive elution with methanol and ethyl acetate/methanol/acetic acid (90/10/0.1 by vol) they could be separated and extracted from the normal components of urine with satisfactory analytical recovery. The conjugated metabolites were then enzymatically hydrolyzed and the hydrolysate was extracted into ethyl acetate and the extract thin-layer chromatographed to detect and identify each drug and each of its metabolites. In an experiment in which the urine of human subjects given 5 mg of nitrazepam orally was analyzed by this method, the metabolites of nitrazepam in the 24-h urine could be identified satisfactorily.

Studies on the use of XAD-2 resin for detection of abused drugs in urine.
We describe a procedure for extracting weakly acidic, neutral, and basic drugs from urine by using a column of XAD-2 resin. Adsorptionof drugs from, 20 ml of urine buffered at pH 8.5 ± 0.5 at a controlled flow rate of 2.5 mI/mm was greater than 89% for all drugs tested except aspirin. On eluting the drugs tested with acetone and methanol/chloroform, recoveries ranged from 75 to 93%. Overall rec...
متن کاملThe determination of prostaglandin metabolites in human urine.
A method has been developed in which the human urinary prostaglandin metabolites are converted into stable prostanoic and prostanediotic acid homologues. The urine is reduced with sodium borohydride and the organic compounds, isolated with an Amberlite XAD-2 column, are treated with fuming hydrogen iodide, followed by treatment with zinc in methanolic hydrogen chloride, to yield dimethyl tetran...

Urine was collected from newborns, children, and adults who had received a tracer dose of [3H] cortisol. The free and different types of conjugated cortisol metabolites were separated by ion-exchange chromatography. A modified Amberlite XAD-2 procedure was used, which enabled quantitative extraction of the extremely polar cortisol metabolites from urine from newborns. Large differences between ...
