Abstract A gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer-data system equipped with a capillary column is used to analyze commonly abused amine drug mixtures. Enantiomeric amines are analyzed as N-trifluoroacetyl- I-prolyl chloride derivatives. The 10 compounds included in this study are amphetamine, methamphetamine, norephedrine, ephedrine, 3,-4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, N,N-dimethyltryptamine, N,N-diethyltryptamine, N,N-dimethyl-5-methoxytryptamine, mescaline, and caffeine. All compounds, including possible enantiomers, are resolved and identified by the described method.

Studies on the isolation and characterization of Proteus mirabilis siderophores provided no evidence that these bacteria synthesize catechol- or hydroxamate-type siderophores. However, gas chromatograph analysis in conjunction with mass spectroscopy revealed the presence of α-hydroxyisovaleric acid, a previously unknown metabolite. Additional substantiating evidence for the presence of α-hydroxyisovaleric acid in these bacteria was obtained from experiments involving the use of thin-layer chromatography and an ultraviolet absorption spectrum. This compound was found to be capable of removing iron from the synthetic chelator, ethylene-diamine-di-orthohydroxyphenyl acetic acid, and supplying that iron to the bacteria both in a solid agar medium and in a liquid medium. Proteus mirabilis was found to possess an enzyme capable of catalyzing the reaction by which α-hydroxyisovaleric acid is converted to α-ketoisovaleric acid, an intermediate in the valine biosynthetic pathway.
