Abstract A method is presented for determining certain drugs of abuse in a single extract of urine. The urine sample is adjusted to pH 6.0 with a buffer containing bromcresol purple. Basic drugs, such as amphetamines and narcotics, form an organic salt with the ionized bromcresol purple, which is extractable with a mixture of chloroform and 2-propanol (3:1 by volume). At pH 6.0, weak acids such as barbiturates and neutral drugs such as glutethimide are also soluble in this solvent. Consequently, the major classes of drugs are extracted simultaneously. The extract is then concentrated and the individual drugs are determined by thin-layer chromatography in a solvent that will separate bromcresol purple from the drugs.

ABSTRACT Progesterone was isolated from the »freely extractable« fraction of approximately 50 litres of pregnancy urine. Chemical and physical properties showed that the compound isolated was indeed progesterone. The isolation procedure involved a modified form of the Girard reaction in which a »conjugated ketone« fraction containing progesterone was separated from both the non-ketonic components and the major bulk of the saturated ketones. This was followed by paper and thin-layer chromatography. The final separation was achieved using preparative gas-liquid chromatography. It was estimated from the gas-chromatographic peak heights that there was no more than 250 μg of progesterone in the pooled urine residues.
