Abstract:
Pentodeuterated 4-hydroxymethamphetamine (HMAMP-d5), 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(methyl-d3-amino)-propane-1,2-d2 of high quality was prepared and proved to be a most useful internal standard for quantitative analyses of 4-hydroxymethamphetamine (HMAMP), a main metabolite of methamphetamine (MAMP). Highly reliable results were obtained by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Simultaneously we determined also MAMP, amphetamine (AMP), 4-hydroxyamphetamine (HAMP), and HMAMP in body fluids, using two internal standards, HMAMP-d5 for HMAMP and HAMP and pentodeuterated methamphetamine, 1-phenyl-2-(methyl-d3-amino)-propane-1,2-d2, for MAMP and AMP.
