Identification and Quantitation of Designer Drugs in Urine by LC-MS/MS
نویسندگان
چکیده
This application note describes the analysis of selected designer drugs in urine after a very simple, fast and non-selective dilution step. Besides identification of the analytes by two or three MRM transitions, an information dependent acquisition (IDA) approach was used for automatically triggering enhanced product ion (EPI) scans after detection with one MRM transition per analyte. EPI spectra can be submitted for an MS/MS library search for unambiguous identification of the analytes.

A simple and rapid ESI-LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous screening of doping agents in urine samples
OBJECTIVE The use of performance enhancing substances is banned in sports by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Though most prohibited substances can be detected by GC/MS, inclusion of corticosteroids and designer drugs has made it essential to detect these critical doping agents on LC/MS/MS due to their better separation and detection. MATERIALS AND METHODS A common extraction procedure fo...
متن کاملIdentification of Unanticipated Prescription Drugs and Metabolites in Donor Urine Using Accurate Mass LC/MS
Donor urine obtained for a drug study was collected from donors reporting no use of prescription, overthe-counter or herbal preparations in the eight days prior to donation. However, LC/MS analysis showed that a number of non-endogenous compounds were detected in this urine. To identify the compounds, information from the mass spectral data set was used in a search of the Human Metabolome datab...
متن کاملLibrary Search-based Drug Analysis in Forensic Toxicology by Liquid Chromatography–mass Spectrometry
Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) with electrospray (ES) ionization in the positive ion mode was applied to drug analysis in forensic toxicology. Several types of screening and confirmation strategies were developed, based essentially on searching of comprehensive MS libraries and databases that were created in-house for the purpose. Two spectral libraries, both containing spectra...
متن کاملBroad spectrum drug identification directly from urine, using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
BACKGROUND Currently the rate-limiting step for mass spectrometric analysis of drugs in biological samples is sample preparation. Many gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) methods are specific for a certain class of compounds, requiring extraction and/or derivatization before analysis. The purpose of this study was to develop a broad spectrum liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/...
متن کاملDetermination of the designer drugs 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine, and 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine with HPLC and fluorescence detection in whole blood, serum, vitreous humor, and urine.
BACKGROUND The popular designer drugs 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and 3, 4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDEA) can be determined in serum, whole blood, and urine, but also in vitreous humor. The latter matrix is interesting when dealing with decomposed bodies in a toxicological setting. METHODS After extraction, chromatographic separation was achieved on a narrow-bore C(18) co...
