Ae. Ashcroft et al., APPLICATION OF CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS MASS-SPECTROMETRY TO THE ANALYSIS OF URINE SAMPLES FROM ANIMALS AND MAN CONTAINING PARACETAMOL ANDPHENACETIN AND THEIR METABOLITES, Analytical communications, 34(2), 1997, pp. 41-43
Capillary electrophoresis, in combination with electrospray mass spect
rometry (CE-ESMS), has been applied to the analysis of phenacetin and
paracetamol and its metabolites in freeze dried urine, and solid phase
extracts of urine, following administration to rat and man, Using CE-
ESMS the detection of 2 pg of d(3)-paracetamol on column was possible.
Phenacetin, paracetamol and paracetamol glucuronide and sulfate were
all readily detectable in the samples, The CE-ESMS method was also use
d to determine the extent of deacetylation/reacetylation of d(3)-acety
l-labelled paracetamol in vivo.
