Abstract
A method for the identification and differentiation of the following benzodiazepines and their metabolites in urine after acid hydrolysis and acetylation is described: bromazepam, camazepam, chlordiazepoxide, clobazam, clonazepam, clorazepate, clotiazepam, cloxazolam, delorazepam, diazepam, ethylloflazepate, flunitrazepam, flurazepam, halazepam, ketazolam, loprazolam, lorazepam, lormetazepam, medazepam, metaclazepam, midazolam, nitrazepam, nordazepam, oxazepam, oxazolam, prazepam, quazepam, temazepam and tetrazepam. The acetylated extract was analysed by computerized gas chromatography—mass spectrometry. An on-line computer allowed rapid detection using ion chromatography with ions m/z 205, 211, 230, 241, 245, 249, 312 and 333. The identity of positive signals in the reconstructed ion chromatogram was confirmed by a comparison of the stored full mass spectra with reference spectra. The ion chromatograms, reference mass spectra and gas chromatographic retention indices (on OV-101) are documented.
