Abstract Pentazocine and tripelennamine can be identified in urine as a part of routine screening for drug abuse. Pentazocine, pentazocine hydrate, and tripelennamine can be detected by thin-layer chromatography of chloroform/isopropanol extracts of heat- and acid-hydrolyzed urine. Gas chromatography is used for confirmation. Gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric studies (chemical ionization mode) show that such extracts contain major molecular (M+) ions of m/e 256, 286, and 304, indicating the presence of tripelennamine, pentazocine, and pentazocine hydrate, respectively.

Abstract A substantially Improved assay was developed for lincomycin A in animal feedingstuffs. The assay allows unambiguous quantitation of at least 0.1 ppm in feed. Lincomycin B did not interfere because of differences in both retention time and mass of the main fragment ion in electron impact (EI) spectra. The assay using single ion monitoring with EI detection would not discriminate between lincomycin A and clindamycin. The presence of the latter was easily confirmed by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the chemical ionization mode. The assay for lincomycin A was linear in the range 0–40 ng applied to the gas chromatographic column. The recovery was 93.4 ± 4.2% at 1 and 5 ppm and 86.2 ± 5.5% at 0.1 ppm in feed. The coefficient of variation of the assay was 4.8% at both 1 and 5 ppm, and was 6.43% at 0.1 ppm.

Abstract When a patient is hospitalized in coma with suspected drug overdose, rapid identification of psychopharmacologic or toxic agents is essential. Methods for excluding other common toxic agents are indicated. Psychomimetic drugs that should be identified are enumerated. Screening by thin-layer chromatography is suggested as the method of choice, with confirmation or quantification by gas chromatography. Appropriate references to current methodology are appended.
