    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Forensic Toxicology

    Background:

    • Accurate quantification of basic drugs in biological samples is crucial for clinical diagnosis and forensic analysis.
    • Existing methods may have limitations in sensitivity, specificity, or sample volume requirements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a robust method for the extraction and gas chromatographic analysis of basic drugs.
    • To assess the reliability of the method for quantifying drugs in various biological fluids, including serum and urine.

    Main Methods:

    • Solid-phase extraction of basic drugs from serum, urine, and other biological fluids.
    • Back-extraction and re-extraction into a chloroform:isoamyl alcohol solvent system.
    • Analysis using temperature-programmed gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus detection (NPD).
