Amphetamines teeth

Takahashi reported the detectioir of methamphetamine and amphetamine in hairs of monkeys after administration of methamphetamine. He used trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) for derivatization and OV-101 as the GC column. He found the highest amount of both compounds in the fourth week. Then they decreased gradually. Nagai et al. presented a method for the detection of methamphetamine and amphetamine in hair of addicts, as well as in hair, bones, and teeth after animal experiments. They used a packed column (PC) with 5% PEG 6000 + 5%-KOH and M-ethylbenzylamine as the internal standard (IS).
