Determination of α-Hydroxytriazolam and α-Hydroxyalprazolam in Human Urine by Gas Chromatogrphy/Electron-Capture Detector / 分析化学

A method was developed to assay α-Hydroxyltriazolam and α-Hydroxyalprazolam,　which are the major metabolites of triazolam and alprazolam respectively,in human urine.　After addition of 2-hydroxyflurazepam　(interal standard) and hydrolysis with β-glucuronidase, the hydroxy-metabolites were extracted with hexane-dichloromethane (1∶1) at pH　10.8, then were derivated with (BSTFA). The analysis was performed on a HP-5 capillary column with electron-capture detector.The detection limits of analysis in urine were about 1μg/L.The method was successfully applied to urine specimens collected from healthy human volunteers who ingested 0.5 mg of triazolam or 0.8 mg alprazolam. The method was enough sensitive to assay urine specimen excreted at 24 h by volunteers after taking the medicine.

Determination of promethazine and its metabolite in urine by solid——phase extraction with celite and UV derivative spectrophotometry / 中国法医学杂志

Objective To establish a simple and rapid method for extraction and determination promethazine and its metabolite in urine.Methods The urine was added to celite column and the elutions was effected with dichloromethane.The eluat was evaporated on a water bath at 50℃.The dry residue was redissolved with 3.0ml H2SO4 solution of 0.05mol/L,and then zinc dust was added,in order to make it reaction on the water bath of 100℃ for 3min.The promethazine and its metabolite concentration were determined with the second derivative UV spectrum.Resvlts The extraction rate was 90% for both promethazine and its metabolite.The linear range of determination was 0.5～5.0?g/ml.Conclusion The method for determinating promethazine and its metabolite in urine is simple,convenience,and with high extraction rate.
