The Definitive Report Rule 16 recognizes the principle of oxa-aza ( a ) names for heterocyclic ring systems. The chief difficulty at the present time is lack of definitive rules for the formation of these names. It seems to be the opinion of most nomenclature committees that these a names should be used only when the older names are less suitable. A general substitution of a names for all...

In addition to the dosed compound, often one can look for common metabolites when assaying plasma samples from a PK study this step is often referred to as metabolite profiling. In our laboratory we have used the QTrap MS/MS system to provide both quantitative analysis and metabolite profiling when assaying plasma samples. The hardware and software tools that are part of the QTrap MS/MS system are well suited to this purpose [110-114], We have found it useful to use three rules for deciding when to report a possible metabolite. The metabolite reporting rules are as follows ...

Although the application of these reporting rules to analytical data is logical, the levels of marine biotoxins in seafood tend to be highly variable. Therefore, the adequacy of the sample as tested to represent the lot of seafood in commerce or the marine area being harvested also needs to be taken into account. These issnes of sampling plans and nnmber of nnits that constimte a sample are further aspects of food monitoring that need to be considered. ...
