In gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), the effluent from a gas chromatograph is passed into a mass spectrometer and a mass spectrum is taken every few milliseconds. Thus gas chromatography is used to separate a mixture, and mass spectrometry used to analyze it. GC/MS is a very powerful analytical technique. One of its more visible applications involves the testing of athletes for steroids, stimulants, and other performance-enhancing drugs. These drugs are converted in the body to derivatives called metabolites, which are then excreted in the...

There are many reports of the use of mass spectroscopy coupled to chromatography outlets for detection and identification of dmgs and metabolites. An example is compound 126 (99MI2, 99MI3). Carboxylic acids have been converted into hydrazides and hence into 3-substituted [l,2,4]triazolo...

The detection of microgram quantities of pyrethrins, cinerins, keto alcohols, and chrysanthemum acids by paper chromatography and by application of these techniques to a study of possible metabolites enabled certain tentative conclusions that imply hydrolysis in insects of a large portion of the radioactive pyrethrins and synergists to corresponding keto alcohols and chrysanthemum acids.

The active drug and metabolites can be detected from the urine by thin-layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography, or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. However, assays are available only at specialized centers. Treatment of acute intoxication with mescaline is virtually identical to the treatment outlined for LSD intoxication. DOM-induced vasospasm responds well to intra-arterial tolazohne or sodium nitroprusside. Major life-threatening complications of hallucinogenic amphetamine derivatives include hyperthermia, hypertension, convulsions, cardiovascular collapse, and self-inflicted trauma.

The primary method for detecting methyl parathion and metabolites in biological tissues is gas chromatography (GC) coupled with electron capture (BCD), flame photometric (FPD), or flame ionization detection (FID). Sample preparation for methyl parathion analysis routinely involves extraction with an organic solvent (e g., acetone or benzene), centrifugation, concentration, and re suspension in a suitable solvent prior to GC analysis. For low concentrations of methyl parathion, further cleanup procedures, such as column chromatography on silica gel or Florisil are required.

An environmental protocol has been developed to assess the significance of newly discovered hazardous substances that might enter soil, water, and the food chain. Using established laboratory procedures and C-labeled 2,3,7,8-tetra-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry, we determined mobility of TCDD by soil TLC in five soils, rate and amount of plant uptake in oats and soybeans, photodecomposition rate and nature of the products, persistence in two soils at 1,10, and 100 ppm, and metabolism rate in soils. We found that TCDD is immobile in soils, not readily taken up by plants, subject to photodecomposition, persistent in soils, and slowly degraded in soils to polar metabolites. Subsequent studies revealed that the environmental contamination by TCDD is extremely small and not detectable in biological samples. 

Chromatography. A number of HPLC and TLC methods have been developed for separation and isolation of the brevetoxins. HPLC methods use both C18 reversed-phase and normal-phase silica gel columns (8, 14, 15). Gradient or iso-cratic elutions are employed and detection usually relies upon ultraviolet (UV) absorption in the 208-215-nm range. Both brevetoxin backbone structures possess a UV absorption maximum at 208 nm, corresponding to the enal moeity (16,17). In addition, the PbTx-1 backbone has an absorption shoulder at 215 nm corresponding to the 7-lactone structure. While UV detection is generally sufficient for isolation and purification, it is not sensitive (>1 ppm) enough to detect trace levels of toxins or metabolites. Excellent separations are achieved by silica gel TLC (14, 15, 18-20). Sensitivity (>1 ppm) remains a problem, but flexibility and ease of use continue to make TLC a popular technique. 

Several methods are available for the analysis of trichloroethylene in biological media. The method of choice depends on the nature of the sample matrix cost of analysis required precision, accuracy, and detection limit and turnaround time of the method. The main analytical method used to analyze for the presence of trichloroethylene and its metabolites, trichloroethanol and TCA, in biological samples is separation by gas chromatography (GC) combined with detection by mass spectrometry (MS) or electron capture detection (ECD). Trichloroethylene and/or its metabolites have been detected in exhaled air, blood, urine, breast milk, and tissues. Details on sample preparation, analytical method, and sensitivity and accuracy of selected methods are provided in Table 6-1.
